The Mercury Montego is the first Mercury car in over a decade offering all-wheel
drive. Montego comes in Luxury and Premier models with a 203-hp 3.0-liter V6.
Both offer front-wheel drive with 6-speed automatic transmission or AWD with a
continuously variable automatic transmission. The CVT provides variable drive
ratios vs. the conventional automatic's fixed-ratio gears. Both transmissions
are new to Ford Motor Company.
It has signature waterfall grille, strategic use of contrasting metallic
surfaces like satin aluminum and chrome, distinctive taillight bezels. The
Montego's Volvo-inspired platform has a stable platform, with fully independent
suspension for a quiet ride and responsive handling. With Duratec 30 V-6 engine
refined for a smoother, quieter operation, the available all-wheel-drive system
is packaged with a new continuously variable transmission. Front-wheel-drive
vehicles use a premium six-speed automatic transmission
