Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The Mountaineer's exterior design doesn't get high marks for originality. On the plus side, test drivers had fun playing with its power-integrated running boards, which are hidden within the SUV's rocker panels when the doors are closed for a cleaner look.

  • "Mercury says the front styling and rectangular headlights suggest a subtle evolution in the company's design direction, with an emphasis on the vertically stacked front-end elements." -- Cars.com
