Kickdown's Take

by Louis Kalendruschat

The Mercury Cougar XR-7 is the luxury version of the Cougar model series and offers plenty of comfort: it comes equipped with air conditioning, power windows, and power steering. Under the hood is a classic 5.7-liter V8 engine. The car has been completely repainted, and its last service was in July 2026, so the Cougar is ready to hit the open road!
