Mercury Sable Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1986–1991) — First Generation
The first-generation Mercury Sable brought aerodynamic styling to the family car, offered as a roomy sedan and a practical five-door estate with space for passengers, luggage and everyday hauling alike.
Every Mercury Sable engine here is gasoline-fed and paired with an automatic transmission driving the front wheels, a drivetrain layout that keeps the cabin floor low and traction predictable. Selected examples include the economical 2.5 AT, the smoother 3.0 AT, and the stronger 3.8 AT for relaxed highway cruising.
