As a rebadged variant of the Ford Fusion, the Milan featured its own front and rear fascias, along with a waterfall-style grille recalling the Monterey and Montego — as well as projector headlamps, LED taillamps (extending into the trunklid), a bumper-mounted license plate and faux matte-silver or imitation wood trim 2007 changes included MILAN badging to the front doors and revised interior panels providing improved side-impact protection along with an improvement in safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

During its production, the Mercury Milan was marketed in six different trim levels, dependent on drivetrain configuration selected by the owner.

For 2009, a VOGA special-edition option package was introduced with specific white leather seats and chrome wheels.
