2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid is Worlds Most Efficient SUV


The all new 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid standard model is equipped with a 2.5 liter Inline-4 Atkinson cycle engine and Permanent magnet electric motor. The combination of the electric motor and gas engine produces 177 net horsepower. This also makes the 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid the most fuel efficient SUV in the world.
Mercury engineered the Mariner Hybrid combination 2.5 liter engine and electric motor to operate in a fuel efficient manner that would be second to none. A prime example of this system at work is that while you are driving, the gas engine is working. As you come to a complete stop, the gas engine shuts down to save on your vehicle's fuel consumption and the electric motor takes over. When driving your vehicle at a speed of 44 miles per hour or less, the electric motor is able to provide all of your vehicle's power. The key feature to the electric motor is an air conditioner condenser that allows the vehicle's electronic system to function at full power in the electric motor mode, the same as if it were being powered with the gas engine.
Another one of Mercury's breakthrough inventions featured on the 2010 Mariner Hybrid model that is focused on saving fuel is the standard Easy Fuel capless fuel filler. This feature eliminates the gas cap on the vehicle completely. When the gasoline pump nozzle is removed from the fuel tank after fueling up, the specially designed seal in the gas tank shuts automatically. This feature helps to eliminate the potential of harmful fuel tank evaporation emissions from being allowed to escape from a missing or improperly installed gas cap.
The EPA overall rating for fuel efficiency on the 2010 Mercury Mariner while being operated in Front Wheel Drive during city driving conditions is 34 miles per the gallon of gasoline and in highway driving conditions is 31 miles per gallon of gasoline. When driven in four wheel drive in city driving conditions the rating is 30 miles per gallon of gasoline and during highway driving conditions is 27 miles per gallon of gasoline. These rating place the 2010 Mercury Mariner SUV in a class of its own.
