The Mercury Mariner, a compact SUV produced by Ford Motor Company's Mercury brand, made its debut in 2005 as a rebadged version of the Ford Escape. The 2006 Mariner was the second year of production, boasting a number of standard features including a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine with 153 horsepower, a four-wheel independent suspension, and an available all-wheel drive system. This combination offered a comfortable ride and decent handling for its class, especially on paved roads. The Mariner also offered a relatively spacious interior for its size, accommodating five passengers comfortably thanks to its 100.6-inch wheelbase. Safety features were also a priority, with standard dual front airbags, side airbags, and head curtain airbags for all rows. The Mariner's design was distinctly Mercury, featuring a unique front grille and taillights, and was available in a variety of color options to appeal to a wide range of buyers.

The 2006 Mariner was offered in three trim levels: Base, Premier, and Sport. The Base trim came with basic features such as power windows and locks, while the Premier added amenities like leather seats and a premium sound system. The Sport trim aimed for a more sporty look and feel with a lowered suspension and a more powerful engine option. Despite its popularity and good reputation, the Mercury brand was discontinued in 2011, ending the production of the Mariner. Today, the 2006 Mariner is considered a reliable and affordable used vehicle, especially for those looking for a practical and comfortable SUV for everyday driving, but it's important to note that finding a well-maintained example may require some searching. The 2006 Mariner stands as a reminder of a period when the Mercury brand aimed to provide stylish and functional vehicles, appealing to a diverse range of customers seeking a unique and practical driving experience.
