Mercury offered the Sable as the 1986 model to serve as a successor to the Mercury Marquis under their transition into the mid-size sedan segment. Between 1986 and 2005 Mercury Sable models provided buyers two engine choices which included both a 2.5L I4 and a 3.0L V6. The last generation Sable models included a 3.8L V6 engine together with a four-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. Car buyers who chose later models with the 3.8L V6 engine received sufficient power outputs of 140 horsepower along with 215 lb-ft torque which supported handling in mid-size sedan competition. In 2008 Mercury Sable producers added the 3.5L V6 engine that delivered 263 horsepower and 265 lb-foot torque power alongside a six-speed automatic transmission for better driving performance and efficiency. Ford produced the Mercury Sable at their Atlanta and Chicago Assembly facilities to maintain uniform product manufacturing. Pretty standard choice made it possible for customers to acquire the Mercury Sable as a sedan with four doors or a wagon with five doors based on their market needs. The Mercury Sable manufacturing follow precise quality procedures through components constructed exclusively for the model that met stringent durability along with performance protocols. Owners who can readily access the wide selection of original Mercury Sable components evidences Mercury's dedication to engineering excellence alongside delivering customer satisfaction.
