For 1982 the Cougar inherited the five door station wagon body from the Zephyr, as Mercury sought to move that design upmarket, offered in GS trim or wood grained Villager trim. An all new 3.8 L V6 replaced the inline six, an engine used by the Cougar and Thunderbird through their 1997 discontinuation, and the 4.9 L V8 option was discontinued, leaving the 4.2 L as the sole V8. It was the last of the fifth generation. The Cougar was built on the Ford Fox platform, with the XR7 the counterpart of the Thunderbird and the standard car sharing its body with the Ford Granada.
