The all-new 2009 Mercury Sable combines smart features with a sophisticated new design. Underneath the sleek hood is a new 3.5L V-6 engine, winner of Ward's 10 Best Engines award, coupled with a class-exclusive standard six-speed automatic transmission. Rated the safest full-size sedan in America, Sable also helps protect its occupants with size standard airbags and the enhanced control of available all-wheel drive.
