Though not a complete ground-up redesign, the 2010 Milan is heavily updated and features a new interior, new sheetmetal, and a new four-cylinder engine. Its 3.0-liter V-6 carries over, but the engine has been revised to make more power to be more competitive. The new Milan Hybrid is Mercury's second such model and of course is also the most fuel-efficient.
The Mercury Milan was redesigned in 2010. It is the mechanical twin of the Ford Fusion. The Fusion was rated Car of the year by Motor Trend for 2010 and since the two are identical except for their appearance, the award applies to most of what makes up the Milan as well. The main difference between the two is the Milan's more upscale appearance and more standard features. You won't be likely to see a clone of your car at many stoplights due to the small production run for the current Milan's. This is further ensured by the fact that the entire Mercury line is not long for the production world.
The base engine for the Milan is the 175 HP 2.5 liter four cylinder. A manual 6 speed transmission is standard with a 6 speed automatic available as an option. Mercury also offers a 3.0 liter V-6 making 240 HP, though it is only offered with the 6 speed automatic transmission. Rear wheel drive is standard for both engines, but an all-wheel drive system is available as an option with the V-6.
