Year to Year Changes
1996 Mercury Mystique:
In a quest for more rear-seat space, the front seatbacks were redesigned, now scooped out instead of flat. That added about an inch more rear leg room. Later in the model year came a second step: Rear-seat cushions were lowered and moved farther back. Meanwhile, the 5-speed's gearshift linkage was revised, intended to yield smoother shifts.
1997 Mercury Mystique:
A new lower-priced base model joined the lineup for '97, as prices of the GS and LS increased. A trunk light became standard, and traction control was no longer available as an option.
1998 Mercury Mystique:
The '98 Mystique got a redesigned grille, headlamps, and hood. Also new was an optional rear child-safety seat.
1999 Mercury Mystique:
Recontoured rear seats and allow for 1/2-inch more leg room and a slightly softer suspension were the only changes for 1999. Mystique would not return for 2000.
2000 Mercury Mystique:
Mercury dropped the Mystique a few months after the 2000 model year began. Only 4-cylinder GS and V6 LS versions remained for the short season. Final Mystiques got a manual in-trunk emergency release system.
