Overview

The 2011 Mercury Milan Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $22,025. For that price, it mainly competes with the Nissan Altima sedan, the Hyundai Sonata sedan, and the Ford Fusion sedan. Between 2 trims, the Milan offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.5L Inline-4 capable of making 175 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 240 horsepower-making 3.0L V6. The former engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission by default or an available 6-speed automatic transmission which is standard on the latter engine. There is also a hybrid engine on offer. The Milan reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.8 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 7.3 seconds with the 3.0L V6. Depending on the powertrain, Milan can manage a combined fuel economy between 20 and 26 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the Milan comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

We believe the Milan with upper Premium trim configuration is the best choice for you. It allows access to more options and packages than the base trim. That said, we recommend the $2,045 RAPID SPEC 202A Package which includes a backup camera, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, rear spoiler, and reverses sensing system. This package also includes the contents of the Moon & Tune Package which offers a 12-speaker Sony sound system, a power tilt-and-slide moonroof, and more.
