Mercury Mariner Hybrid 4D Utility 4WD

It was a sibling battle in this SUV segment, with the Mercury Mariner Hybrid and the Ford Escape Hybrid each winning six of the 12 lifecycle scenarios measured. Given the low fuel and depreciation costs of the hybrids, the leadership of these vehicles isn’t surprising. After implementing the tie breaking process, the Mariner was identified as the winner of Vincentric’s Best Fleet Value in America award.
