The new Mercury Sable is a premium, mid-size sedan, which has a stylish exterior look and an upscale interior cabin of a big car. Both the Base and Premier models are available in all-wheel and front-wheel drive. It has been designed to accommodate up to five passengers. It also features a luxury gear and an enormous trunk with a capacity greater than most large sedans. One of the most important changes that can be noticed in the current line-up is the improved powertrian.
The new Sable gives a quiet and confident ride with the help of the revised MacPherson-strut front suspension that comes with 10 percent more travel, new dampers and spring rates and a retuned independent coil-over rear suspension. All the four models get life from the standard dual-cam 3.5-liter V6 engine that becomes more powerful with the sharp six-speed automatic transmission. The Duratec 3.5 engine delivers an estimated 260 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. As the the(repetition) new V6 engine operates more efficiently, fuel economy has also improved by a couple of miles per gallon. The EPA estimates for the new engine is 17 mpg for the city and 24 mpg for the highway in the Sable FWD models and 18 and 28 mpg respectively for the Sable AWD models. Even with the excellent fuel economy and additional power and performance, the new Sable models are quite similar to the defunct Montego model. Moreover, the Sable has a long wheelbase of 112.9 inches. The exterior body measures 202.1 inches long and it is 74.5 inches wide, while it is 61.5 inches tall.
