2008 Mercury Mountaineer Review, Pictures & Video
The 2008 year promises to be a good one for Mercury’s Mountaineer mid-size luxury SUV. Armored in with chrome styling and three new color options give this car a look of significance this year.
The interior cabin can hold up to five or seven occupants, depending on if you opt for the power-fold third-row seat. In premier models, the second row has reclining seatbacks, meaning you not only have the truck space and the reclined third row for extra storage space, but an additional chunk of space with the freed up second row! The rear passengers get a DVD entertainment system with an 8” display to keep them engaged on those long rides. Further comfort is provided with heated seats and either Bluetooth or USB connections for your MP3 players. Further assistance is provided with the voice activated Navigation system. Along with all of that, everyone is kept safe with driver and front passenger front and side airbags, with roll sensing canopy airbags for every row.
The Mountaineer keeps itself going with a hefty dose of power. A 4.0 L V6 engine and a 4.6 L V8 engine are available. The latter utilizes a brand new six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, and the V6 uses a five-speed automatic with overdrive. If that wasn’t enough, the Mountaineer also is available with AWD!
The improvements are considerable for the 2008 year.
