Mercury Milan - 2010 Revision

2010 Revision

The 2010 Mercury Milan debuted at the 2008 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show alongside the 2010 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. It received significant cosmetic updates, with new front and rear fascias, revised wheel designs, and a redesigned dashboard. A DVD entertainment system was added to the Hybrid models. Engine options consist of the Duratec 25 four cylinder and Duratec 30 V6. A hybrid version is also offered, with an Atkinson cycle variant of the Duratec 25 gasoline engine paired with a 106 horsepower AC synchronous electric motor and continuously variable transmission.

The Mercury Milan Hybrid was launched to the U.S. market in March 2009 as a 2010 model, together with its twin the Ford Fusion Hybrid. Ford set a modest sales target of about 25,000 vehicles a year for the Fusion and Milan hybrids. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ratings for the Mercury Milan and Ford Fusion hybrid versions are 41 miles per US gallon (5.7 L/100 km; 49 mpg) for city and 36 miles per US gallon (6.5 L/100 km; 43 mpg) for highway. When driving on electric-only mode (EV mode) the Fusion can achieve 47 mph and up to 2 miles of continuous EV driving. In city driving a full tank delivers 700 miles (1,126.5 km).

All non-hybrid 2010 Milans are equipped with 6-speed transmissions; as with the 2006-2009 versions, the manual gearbox is only available with the four cylinder engine. V6 models gain a "SelectShift" feature that allows drivers to select and hold individual gears.

The Milan ended production during the fourth quarter 2010 along with the rest of the Mercury brand.

The average age of a Mercury Milan driver is 58.
