Vehicle Highlights
Montego is Mercury's version of the Ford Five Hundred. Their underskin design originates with Ford-owned Volvo. It has a 203-hp V6 and comes in Base and Premier models. Both are available with front-wheel drive, and the Premier offers all-wheel drive. Front-drive versions have a 6-speed automatic transmission. AWD versions have a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). ABS is standard. All Montegos have traction control, but no antiskid system is available. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment are standard on Premier, a no-cost option on Base. Xenon headlamps are standard, as are a fold-flat right-front seatback and split folding rear seatbacks. Leather upholstery and power-adjustable pedals are standard on Premier, optional for Base. Options include navigation system, DVD entertainment, sunroof, and rear obstacle detection. Satellite radio is newly available for 2007. Montego's performance and accommodations mirror those of comparably equipped Five Hundreds.
