Year to Year Changes
2000 Mercury Cougar:
Little change was evident on the 2000 Cougar. The driver's-door map pocket was deleted, and an ashtray/lighter now was optional. A new emergency release with a glow-in-the-dark handle went into the cargo area.
2001 Mercury Cougar:
Cougars earned appearance revisions inside and out for 2001, including a new front fascia, grille, and headlights. The V6 Sport Group option added aluminum pedals. Instrument faces were revised, and a new steering wheel was installed. A six-disc in-dash CD changer joined the options list. Mercury announced a high-performance Cougar S with a more potent engine, but it failed to materialize.
2002 Mercury Cougar:
Added midyear was a V6 35th Anniversary Edition package. Building on the XR package, it came with unique emblems and hood scoop, chromed 17-inch wheels, and an in-dash CD changer.
