2010 Mercury Mariner Trims and Specs

The 2010 Mercury Mariner Base trim offers a six-speed automatic for its 2.5-liter inline four, with the option of a 3.0-liter V6 instead. Both engines come with standard traction control and deliver power to 16-inch alloys. A leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel offers controls for the AM/FM/CD/MP3 player, which also houses a digital media player connection. Air conditioning and cruise control are standard, as well as front bucket cloth seats and a split-folding rear. A center console provides storage, and floormats protect the carpets. With power windows, mirrors, door locks, and remote keyless and keypad entry, the Mariner Base will take care of you. A tachometer, variable-intermittent front wipers, and a rear defogger and wiper are also included, along with rear privacy glass and foglights.

Safety features include dual front, front-side, and curtain-side airbags with rollover deployment, antilock brakes with anti-skid, a theft-deterrent system and a tire-pressure monitor.

For a bit of added traction and stability, the 2010 Mercury Mariner Base 4WD trim offers the same choice of a 2.5-liter inline four or 3.0-liter V6 mated to a six-speed automatic, but with the benefit of 4WD. Traction control modulates power for the 16-inch alloys, further bridled by antilock brakes with anti-skid. Inside, cloth upholstery covers the front buckets and split-folding rear, although the tilt steering wheel is wrapped in leather and holds controls for the AM/FM/CD/MP3 player, which also houses a digital media player connection. Convenience features are plentiful, with air conditioning, cruise control, rear privacy glass, a center console, floormats, a tachometer and power windows, mirrors, and door locks with remote keyless and keypad entry. Variable-intermittent front wipers help keep the view ahead clear, with the help of foglights, and a rear defogger/wiper combo make sure your view out the rear is unobstructed as well.

Additional safety features include dual front, front-side, and curtain-side airbags with rollover deployment, a theft-deterrent system, and a tire-pressure monitor.

From the outside, a roof rack is one of the only means of distinguishing the 2010 Mercury Mariner Premier from Base trims, along with the automatic headlights. The same powertrain choices are available, with either a 2.5-liter inline four or 3.0-liter V6 mated to a six-speed automatic. Inside, the differences are more apparent, with combination leather and alcantara upholstery for the front bucket and split-folding rear seats, illuminated visor mirrors, and an automatically dimming rearview with integrated compass and temperature indicator. The driver’s seat has 6-way power and lumbar adjustment at this level, and the stereo has been similarly upgraded with a 6-CD changer, satellite radio, iPod adapter, Bluetooth, and voice recognition. Sadly, 16-inch alloys don’t get upgraded here. Standard convenience features additionally include air conditioning, cruise control, rear privacy glass, a center console, floormats, and a tachometer. Power windows, mirrors, and door locks with remote keyless and keypad entry are all included, as well as variable-intermittent front wipers, a rear wiper/defogger combo, and foglights.
