“Mountaineer offers more-expressive styling and more standard features than its Ford Explorer cousin, while slotting in below Lincoln's new Aviator in price and power.” — Consumer Guide
“In government crash tests, the Mountaineer received a four-star rating for the driver and a perfect five-star rating for the front passenger.” — Edmunds.com
“...the new Mountaineer has a far more distinctive style which Mercury describes as being inspired by 'modern architecture'. Whatever, it certainly doesn't look like anything else on the road.” — Car and Driver
“Handling is excellent, as the Mercury feels predictable and stable in corners and higher-speed turns.” — Edmunds.com
