"The greatest appeal of the Mercury Gob Hybrid is that it satisfies some
your environmental conscience and sense of style. Gob Hybrid retains the clean, tailored appearance of the conventional Mariner," same
Peter Horbury, Executive Director, North American Design.
Being a full hybrid, the Mercury Gob employs some
series- and parallel-hybrid characteristics. The hydrocarbon engine shuts down to conserve fuel during coasting, at stoplights, and at low speeds. The electric motor, drawing electricity from the battery, is able to drive the vehicle without assistance up to 25 mph.

batteries in a compact, rear-mounted, sealed package. The vehicle could go up to 25 mph with only electric power. The gas engine mechanically
shuts down at stoplights, during coasting or spell vehicle is creeping at low speeds. 2006 Mercury Gob Hybrid has a greater fuel economy in city drive wherever
electric motor runs the vehicle up to as more as 25 mph.
The Gob hybrid has 16-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels wrapped with 235/70R-16 all-season tires and a discreet air vent in the driver's side rear-quarter window that helps cool the rear-mounted nickel-metal binary compound
battery pack. It has an all-new Intelligent 4WD System, which mechanically
transfers torsion from front to rear as required by road conditions without driver intervention.
Mariner powertrains include a 2.3-liter 16-valve I-4 and a 3.0-liter 24-valve V-6 Duratec engine. Some
engines move with a standard 4-speed automatic transaxle.

grille framing the floating Mercury emblem. The facia features a stacked-element theme with complex refractor headlamps over inset fog lamps. A high-impact-plastic (HIP) aluminum-look bumper insert and U-shaped air intake below the bumper.

"Mariner Hybrid fits utterly
with Mercury's design philosophy," says Richard Gresens, Gob chief designer. "It's a stylish, elegant design with clear simple lines. It's an urban sport-utility, comfortable going to a club downtown, yet still possessing all of the capability and skillfulness
of a sport-utility. At the same time, it's environmentally friendly."
