Mercury Montego's interior dimensions put it among the leaders in virtually every category, including best-in-class headroom and knee room in the second row. The natural, upright seating position offers comfort and visibility that give the driver confidence and command of the road. For 2007, the power driver's seat is made standard for both trim levels.

Mercury Montego's remarkable 21.2-cubic-foot trunk is nearly 50 percent larger than that of most competitors. With the split second-row seat folded, the trunk expands to offer a best-in-class 49.9 inches of total load floor length. The front passenger seat also can fold flat, offering up to 9 feet of cargo-carrying length.


Mercury Montego Powertrain and Chassis

Mercury Montego's Volvo-inspired platform provides stability, with fully independent suspension for a quiet ride and responsive handling.

The proven Duratec 30 V-6 engine offers smooth, quiet performance and is teamed with a premium six-speed automatic transmission on front-wheel-drive models. All-wheel drive versions use a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Each offers wide overall gear ratios for strong acceleration and economical operation. As a result, front-wheel-drive models deliver an impressive 29 miles per gallon highway, while all-wheel drive models deliver 26 mpg highway.

Mercury Montego's optional all-wheel drive system uses electronic controls to achieve optimum performance whether on dry, wet or snow-covered roads. Normally, the vehicle functions with front-wheel drive only. But when the electrohydraulic limited-slip coupling senses a difference in speed between the front wheels and rear wheels, it distributes up to 100 percent torque to the rear wheels.


Safety and Security

The 2007 Mercury Montego builds on Ford's industry-leading Personal Safety System with new features that address front-, side- and rear-impact protection. Mercury Montego has earned top, five-star ratings for front- and side-impact performance in government testing, as well as a "Good" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for frontal crash performance.

An anti-lock brake system (ABS) and all-speed traction control are standard on all Montego models. Beginning in September, all Montego models will also be equipped with standard front-seat side air bags and Ford's innovative Safety Canopy air curtains with rollover protection.
