Vehicle Highlights
The 2009 Mercury Sable is largely unchanged. This large sedan shares its basic design with the Ford Taurus and premium-large Lincoln MKS. It offers base and uplevel Premier models, each with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The sole powertrain teams a 263-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Standard on Premier and optional on the base are leather upholstery, heated front seats, and Ford's Sync voice-activated control for cell phones and MP3 players. Premier-exclusive options include a sunroof, navigation system, and chrome alloy wheels.
