| In 2006, Ford Motor Company rolled out what has become the most stylish hybrid sports utility vehicle known to the market called the Mercury Mariner Hybrid. In general, the fuel-efficient truck is offering a unique and at the same time, satisfying transportation choice catering the rising number of people who want an SUV and a hybrid at the same time. The company admits that the Mercury Mariner Hybrid is heavily reliant on the basic capacity and design features of its sibling, the earlier launched Ford Escape Hybrid. Both hybrid cars are sharing a single platform that is characterized by body style, hybrid power train, seating configuration and cabin electronics. The Mercury Mariner Hybrid is also categorized as having 'full' hybrid electric technology. That means, the vehicle can automatically switch from running on pure gasoline engine to pure electric engine and both at the same time. The truck is capable of combining the power of the gasoline engine and the electric battery system for maximum efficiency and performance at all loads and speeds. The vehicle is an upscale SUV with impressive performance and nimble handling. The towing capacity is as excellent and the cargo space is ample for all purposes and occasions. It is a known knowledge that all hybrids are designed and made to be environmentally more viable and reliable. The Mercury Mariner Hybrid is no difference. Car reviewers are asserting that they have already encountered several other cars that have the same body style as the Mercury Mariner Hybrid. Among those cars are Mitsubishi Outlander, Suzuki Grand Vitara and Honda CR-V. What are the common denominators among such cars? All are featuring practical configuration with stylish four doors, rear cargo area and easy-access seats. However, Mercury Mariner Hybrid is standing out because of its chunky, yet rugged look. A grille represents refinement that the hybrid brand is intentionally representing. Overall, the Mercury Mariner Hybrid is definitely known to many as one of the best known and identified cleanest and fuel-efficient SUVs in the market. As mentioned, the truck is sharing the technology previously exclusive to Ford Escape Hybrid, which in 2005 earned the Truck of the Year award in North America. The selection was picked by a pool of about 50 different automotive journalists. To further heighten the appeal, the Mercury Mariner Hybrid has a hybrid power train that is derived from the technology identified with Toyota Synergy system. Thus, it can be inferred that in terms of power train, Mercury Mariner Hybrid is one of the best around. |
