Shop OEM Mercury Lynx Parts at FordPartsDeal

As its first generation model Ford created the Mercury Lynx between 1981 and 1987 which evolved the compact car market through its production run. Compared to earlier compact vehicles, the Mercury Lynx was slightly larger, gaining 6 inches in length and 3 inches in height, which provided improved interior space and comfort. Both engine choices included the 1.6-liter inline-four motor for efficiency and enjoyable driving performance and the 2.0-liter option for consumers who wanted more power. The Mercury Lynx featured a 4-speed manual transmission as standard, with an optional 3-speed automatic transmission. Later models also offered a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission. This front-wheel-drive orientation of the Mercury Lynx provided superior driving characteristics which made it easy to handle and maneuver while navigating through urban spaces. Customer preferences shaped the available Lynx series through L, GL, GS, LS and RS models until the RS received its name change to XR3 for marketing purposes. Mercury Tracer took over from Mercury Lynx in 1987 which put an end to its manufacturing run as its engineering principles and design philosophy live on today. Using original Mercury Lynx parts helps maintain product reliability and enhances lifespan compatibility for all car breeders.
