Mercury Sable Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1995–1999) — Third Generation
The third-generation Mercury Sable arrived as a rounded, family-minded full-size car, offered as a four-door Sedan and a practical Estate 5-door that traded styling flair for extra room behind the rear seats.
Every Mercury Sable engine in this generation runs on gasoline, with V6 power sent to the front wheels through an automatic transmission. That layout suits the car's character: quiet cruising, easy part-throttle response around town, and a drivetrain that asks little of the driver beyond regular fluid and coolant checks.
