What's New
Though not a complete ground-up redesign, the 2010 Milan is heavily updated and features a new interior, new sheetmetal, and a new four-cylinder engine. Its 3.0-liter V-6 carries over, but the engine has been revised to make more power to be more competitive. The new Milan Hybrid is Mercury's second such model and of course is also the most fuel-efficient.
Exterior
Up front, the main difference between the Milan and its Fusion sibling is the Milan's vertical grille. At rear, the Milan gets a new lower fascia and trunk lid with larger taillamps.
Interior
The Milan is all-new on the inside, with plenty of passenger room and a sizeable trunk. Options include 12-speaker Sony audio, navigation with Sirius Travel Link. Premier models come with power front seats and Sync.
Performance & Handling
The Milan's new 2.5-liter I-4 makes a good 175 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque while its V-6 has been uprated to 240 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. The base model can be had with a six-speed manual transmission, albeit with a slight fuel-economy penalty. The Hybrid model, meanwhile, achieves subcompact-like fuel economy.
Safety
Six airbags are standard along with seatbelt pretensioners. Rear-view camera, reverse sensors, and a blind spot detection system are available to help minimize the chances of a parking incident or merging accident.
