It's gas. It's electric. It's smart. As the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in America,** Milan Hybrid helps you go farther on a tank of gas -- more than 700 miles on a tank of fuel in city driving.** Milan Hybrid propulsion is supplied by a combination of two sources: a permanent magnet electric motor powered by an innovative nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery, and the next generation of the 2.5L Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Hybrid engine.

The electric motor can propel Milan Hybrid up to 47 mph and combines with the gasoline engine when extra power is needed. Combined power rating is 191-net horsepower. The 2.5L Atkinson-cycle I-4 Hybrid engine features late intake valve closing (LIVC), as well as advancements in processor technology for seamless transitions from gas to electric mode.

**EPA-estimated 41 City/36 Hwy mpg. Actual mileage will vary. Midsize class per R.L. Polk & Co.

SmartGauge with EcoGuide can help you go farther on a tank of gas. Featuring an innovative LCD gauge cluster with colorful graphics, the dual SmartGauge cluster with EcoGuide provides you with performance-related information for Milan Hybrid. You simply select one of four different levels of information to be displayed while you’re driving:

* Inform: Adds fuel level and battery-charge status

* Enlighten: Adds electric vehicle mode indicator and tachometer

* Engage: Adds engine output power and battery output power

* Empower: Adds power to wheels, engine pull-up threshold and accessory power consumption

One of the most innovative features actually measures your short-term driving efficiency using vines with leaves. As your driving becomes more efficient, more vines and leaves are displayed. Conversely, as your efficiency decreases, so do the vines and leaves. If you prefer, you can see your efficiency in graph form.

Regardless of the level you choose, you can view a display of fuel economy history, odometer, engine coolant temperature, the gear the vehicle is in and trip data. Instant Fuel economy is included in Enlighten, Engage and Empower screens.

No, you don’t need to plug it in at night. The 275-volt sealed nickel-metal-hydride battery (NiMH) pack transfers power to the electric motor to propel the car up to 47 miles per hour. In fact, that’s the highest top speed of any hybrid vehicle in the electric mode. An 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty is included.** See your local Mercury Dealer for warranty details.

**10-year/150,000-mile in California and other Green states. See dealer for details.
