2008 Mercury Sable - Specifications

The new 2008 Mercury Sable is designed to give customers more than their expectations. The models have a sophisticated new look inside and out, a significantly quieter and bigger cabin, more plush and smooth ride and a more powerful 3.5-liter V-6 engine with outstanding fuel economy. The modern and distinctive look of the latest Sable is built on the clean, modern design platform that was initially introduced on the Mercury Mountaineer, Milan and new Mariner. The manufacturer designs all the Mercury Sable parts with utmost care. The present models are the fourth-generation production line that began in 2000. The Base and the Premier models are available in both all-wheel and front-wheel body-styles. With a capacity to accommodate five passengers, there are many changes made in the interior and the exterior segments of the current models.
