Chronology
PredecessorMercury Sable (mid-size)

The Mercury Milan is a mid-size car manufactured by Ford and marketed by its Mercury division of Ford Motor Company — as a rebadged variant of the Ford Fusion. Named after Milan, Italy, Mercury marketed the Milan for model years 2006-2011 in a single generation. The smaller of two model lines developed to replace the Mercury Sable, it indirectly succeeded the Mercury Mystique as the smallest Mercury sedan.

Presented at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, the Milan was the first new Mercury sedan nameplate introduced since 1995, and became the final nameplate introduced by the division. Coinciding with Mercury's 2010 discontinuation, Milan sales ended after a shortened 2011 model year; the final vehicle was manufactured on December 17, 2010.[2] The Milan was marketed in the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), Mexico, and the Middle East.

Throughout its production, the Milan was produced alongside the Ford Fusion at Hermosillo Stamping & Assembly in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
