Mercury Mystique
The Mercury Mystique was a mid-range car that was built by Mercury , a brand of the Ford Motor Company , from mid-1994 to autumn 2000 . It was a more luxurious model of the simultaneously produced Ford Contour , based on the European Ford Mondeo .
Like the Contour, the Mystique was only available as a four-door notchback sedan; the hatchback and estate versions of the Ford Mondeo were not offered in North America. A four-cylinder in-line engine with 2000 cc and a 2500 cc V6 engine were available as engine variants; both engines were used in a similar form in the Mondeo.
After the first half of the production period, there was a more extensive model upgrade in autumn 1997 , which brought the external appearance into line with that of the Ford Mondeo.
Like the Contour, the Mystique was not a particularly successful model from the Ford Group. Therefore, both models initially had no successors. With the start of production of the American Ford Fusion in early summer 2005, the Mystique received a successor with the Mercury Milan , a better equipped sister model of the Fusion.
