The Mercury Mariner shares its underpinnings with the Ford Escape, so the 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid is mostly the same under its skin as the 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid. Although the two have the same chassis and power train, as well as a fair amount of sheet metal, the Mariner does have different suspension tuning and a more upscale interior. But its luxury leanings don't extend to the electronics. The Mariner Hybrid's navigation and audio systems are the same as the ones we weren't impressed with in the Ford Escape Hybrid.
