When the Ford Taurus hit the market for the 1986 model year, it quickly became a sensation in America. This front-wheel-drive mid-size family sedan looked like no other Ford before it thanks to aerodynamic styling highlighted by a grille-less nose that fronted an elegant, rounded form. A well-thought-out, comfortable and roomy cabin greeted passengers, and while the car’s running gear and suspension design were nothing earth-shattering, they kept overall pricing very competitive. A year later, the Taurus was Ford’s best-selling car and soon you’ll realize why.
Bridging the gap between family sedans and large luxury cars, the redesigned 2010 Ford Taurus is a big, comfortable American-style sedan with an up-to-date design. The typical Taurus will be front-wheel drive with the base 3.5-liter V6, a solid engine that cranks out 263 hp. All-wheel drive is optional on upper Taurus trim levels and standard on the high-performance SHO model, which employs a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 good for a healthy 365 hp. A six-speed automatic is the only available transmission.
The Taurus combines class and function. It not only looks good, but it works good too. You can get it equipped with all the bells and whistles or just standard, for whatever your needs are a Taurus can provide for you.
