2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid received a major redesign, both inside and out. Exterior features include a more prominent satin-aluminum grille, a revamped front end, new headlights and taillights, new side panels, and a redesigned rear bumper.
Interior improvements include a new dash and console, as well as ice blue interior lighting, satin-pewter and chrome trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an MP3 audio input jack for the stereo system. Also new is Electric Power Assisted steering.
But the real story is under the hood of the 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid, where its hybrid engine resides. The Mariner Hybrid is equipped with a 2.3-liter, inline four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle (gas) Engine coupled with an electric motor and a 330-volt sealed nickel-metal hybrid battery pack, which is located on the floor of the cargo bay.
Rounding out the powerplant is a electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT), which works with the gas engine and electric motor to provide seamless acceleration.
The gas engine and electric motor work in sync to provide maximum efficiency. At stoplights or when coasting, for instance, the gas engine automatically shuts down to conserve fuel, and when it is running, it charges the battery pack. The battery pack in turn provides energy to start the engine and, along with the generator motor, provides the drive power at speeds up to 25 miles per hour.
The battery pack is also charged by the vehicle's Regenerative Braking System. Whenever the brakes are applied, they generate electricity and charge the battery.
The Mercury Hybrid can be equipped with an optional Intelligent 4WD System, which monitors traction 200 tunes per second and applies torque automatically to minimize slipping.
The 2008 Mariner Hybrid is outfitted with two-tone leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a dual-zone climte control system, an available power moonroof, and an optional Audiophile Sound System and optional Sirius Satellite Radio. It also comes with anti-lock brakes, a Roll Stability Control system, and automatic headlights that turn off and on automatically depending on outside lighting conditions.

This SUV is easy on the wallet as well as spacious and comfortable. It has the patented fantastic hybrid braking system and smooth maneuvering with a quick and powerful response to the gas pedal. I never had any trouble merging onto the Houston freeways or moving through traffic. Some of the features include: leather seats, steering wheel and gear shift, moonroof, electric doors and windows and driver seat, cargo cover, roof rack, pop-up tailgate glass, intermittent front and back wipers, rear defrost, child safety locks, dusk sensing headlights, mp3 input, 2 charger ports, 2 remote entry keys, door keypad, satellite radio enabled, upgrade stereo package, 6 CD changer, child anchor/tether system, tachometer, trip computer, external thermometer, compass, split lay flat 2nd row bench. There are a few dings and scratches. The car has never been in an accident and the maintenance has been consistent. This is a great car and we are sorry to see it go but we are needing to trim our budget right now. Jun 13, 2012

The hybrid technology is excellent with stop/start plus, albeit limited,
ability to run on electric power alone. All works as advertised. Paint could
be better as it is wearing out on top of the cargo door by the roof line. The
fuel economy is super. It is comfortable on long trips and sat radio takes
care of the entertainment. It also has an Ipod connect feature.Jul 01, 2011

I've just begun researching the Mercury Mariner Hybrid. It seems this site does have a fair amount of information on this vehicle, but I'd like to see a comparison page to match it against other SUVs in its class.Jun 04, 2008
