The latest line-up for Mercury Sable is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 that is estimated to produce 260 hp. This power is managed by a six-speed automatic transmission that puts it to the ground through either the front wheels or an all-wheel drive system. Safety features that are available include: four-wheel disc antilock brakes, traction control, stability control, six standard airbags, and Ford's Safety Canopy that protects occupants in a rollover.
Mercury Sable Interior
Mercury Sable's interior changes for the year 2008 include updated seat fabric and optional glossy trim pieces that resemble carbon fiber. Two-tone leather upholstery with contrasting stitching is also available. A navigation system, rear-seat DVD system and heated seats are among the options. Ford's Sync system, which integrates telephone and entertainment functions into one voice-activated interface, is also available.
Mercury Sable Exterior
The Sable looks like a larger version of Mercury's midsize Milan from outside with its low waterfall grille and headlights that arch onto the hood. Two continuous lines sweep down the hood and around the center of the bumper, while aluminum side mirrors, chrome fog light borders and LED tail lamps add an upscale touch. With better insulation materials and an advanced suspension, the 2008 Sable gives a much quieter ride than the Montego.
