Vehicle Overview
|
When it was originally introduced, Ford Taurus was so revolutionary, it forever changed the way cars look, feel and drive. Today’s Taurus is even more distinctive. The chrome grill and spoked aluminum wheels catch the eye, while the 263-hp and 6 speed transmission stir the soul. Add stellar safety, best-in-class spaciousness and innovative Ford Sync™ to the mix: The all new Taurus is all the more impressive

Under The Hood
The Ford Taurus accelerates with authority thanks to its new 3.5L 24V DOHC Duratec 35 V6 featuring intake variable cam timing (iVCT). This aluminum block engine is teamed with a new, smooth shifting 6-speed automatic transmission.

Terrific Fuel Economy
A new engine and transmission work together to provide impressive fuel economy. The FWD Taurus gets 11.6L/100km city driving and an impressive 7.0L/100km on the highway.
|
 |
|
All Wheel Drive
Over varying surfaces, during acceleration and while cornering AWD seamlessly distributes power between the front and rear wheels to give you increased control. As soon as wheel slip is detected, the AWD system reacts. You probably won't be aware it's working - you'll just savour the rush.
|
 |
|
Stop Straight
4-wheel disc brakes with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) are standard. Traction Control is on guard at all speeds too.
|
 |
|
Advance Trac® with ESC
Along with the thrill of 263 horses at your command comes the assuredness of Ford’s AdvanceTrac® with ESC (Electronic Stability Control). It predicts the vehicles intentions, constantly monitoring speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle. When wheel slip is sensed, engine torque is reduced and braking is applied to help keep Taurus tracking safely on the intended path.

An ultra rigid chassis is the basis of Taurus’ solid safety structure. Crash modeling on a Cray® supercomputer determined that mounting the front bumper plate only to the outer portion of the frame rails promotes a more even collapse of energy-absorbing structures and reduces passenger-compartment intrusion.
|
 |
|
Side-intrusion door beams extend across the 2 strongest areas of the doorframe to enhance impact resistance. And laser-welded side pillars help redirect crash forces underneath seats.
