The Mercury Villager is a minivan that was manufactured and marketed by Nissan for the model years 1993–2002, in a single generation. Internally designated as model VX54, the Villager was a rebadged variant of the Nissan Quest—a product of a joint venture between Ford and Nissan, manufactured at Ford's Ohio Assembly plant in Avon Lake, Ohio.
Noted for its innovative seating configurations, the Villager featured a folding, removable, middle seat (or two buckets) along with a non-removable, fold-and-slide track-mounted rear seat. The arrangement enabled the rear seat to slide forward to the middle position for five-passenger seating, or completely forward against the front seats to make a larger cargo space.
Etymology
"Villager" first appeared at Ford as the name of the Edsel station wagon, the Edsel Villager, in 1958. The Villager name resurfaced at Mercury on a woodgrained Comet station wagon from 1962 to 1967, and subsequently on similarly trimmed wagons in other Mercury series, including the Montego (1970–1976), Bobcat (1975–1980), Cougar (1977 and 1982), Zephyr (1978–1981) and Lynx (1981–1984). On Mercuries, the Villager name almost always denotes a top trim, wood grained wagon. Villager was the equal of the Ford designation "Squire". The Mercury equivalent of the more well known Country Squire full-size station wagon was the Colony Park.

In this episode I provide the history of the Mercury Villager, Ford's first front-wheel-drive minivan that built in partnership with Nissan, who also offered the nearly identical Nissan Quest. Launched in 1992, it was intended to fill the gap left by the Aerostar for buyers who preferred a front-wheel-drive minivan. It reached a second generation in 1999, but sales never came close to rival Chrysler. Ford ended its partnership with Nissan in 2002, but Nissan introduced a third generation Quest in 2004, with a ...

Nissan tried one more time with a fourth gen in 2011, but sales continued to far until its final cancellation in 2017.
