Elevating The Sedan. Your perception of what a sedan can be is about to change. Taurus is Ford's all-new premium sedan that captures the refinement and sophistication of luxury sedans - with none of the pretensions. With an authoritative road presence to match its confident driving dynamics, Taurus is designed to deliver everything sedan customers expect - and more. Taurus's advanced powertrain system delivers either a smooth Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) or 6-speed automatic transmission paired with an efficient 3.0L V6 engine to optimize both performance and fuel economy. Taurus's driver's seat sits higher off the ground, giving you easier entry and exit, a more upright seating position, and a good view of the road ahead. Available electronically controlled All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) System helps ensure that you'll be surefooted in a variety of conditions. In a tricky situation, the AWD controller instantly distributes available torque to the wheels that can use it most. An elevated perspective on the road ahead and a vision of unpretentious elegance.
