Mountaineer's launching in 1997 marked Mercury's opening salvo into the widely growing luxury sport-utility industry. As the years flipped by, the competition grew stiffer and stiffer. So Mercury Mountaineer, a luxury car based on the top best-seller Ford Explorer, was not at all ready to relax and wait for what was to come. Hence, getting redesigned was a solution to best fit into the more competitive side of the game. 2002 Mercury Mountaineer came in a completely repackaged aura. Presenting a design reflective of a contemporary architecture, major improvements in its suspension, powertrain, and safety come at hand. Overhauled is the fixed term appropriate for its distinction. A distinct urban appearance gives the 2002 Mercury Mountaineer that familiar look getting better equipped for the competition within the flooded SUV world. Offered in two engine sizes--the SOHC V6 and the SOHC V8, 2002 Mercury Mountaineer revs up the stretch of highway in a confident manner.

 

Luxury is spelled out inside and out. As part of the repackaged aura, 2002 Mercury Mountaineer contains a standard third-row seat that both folds and flattens into the floor. The satin aluminum color gives the look and feel of modernization. Able to seat up to seven passengers, the leather-wrapped steering wheel, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and power door locks illustrate a picture of glamour rolled into luxury. Bearing a notable waterfall grille, machined aluminum wheels, horizontal brush guards over the taillights, and the noticeable wider track and longer wheelbase, 2002 Mountaineer is truly a head-turner.

 

The passenger's safety is not all compromised into any risk. Bolstered with side impact door beams, crumple zones, head restraints, driver and passenger depowered air bags, three-point seatbelts, and child safety locks; occupants are assured of a safe trip all throughout. 2002 Mercury Mountaineer undoubtedly proves its worth of being under Ford's flagship. Gathering positive and favorable responses from auto enthusiasts, Mercury Mountaineer continues to exhibit its excellent handling performance and its impressive and expressive standard features. Its modern architecture all the more complements the performance one gets out of it.
