The clean slate design of the new 2010 Ford Taurus is purposefully styled to keep your eye moving — from the chrome grille, over the confident domed hood, and down the sleekly stretched body. Pause to ponder the meticulously machined wheels, then trace the shapely shoulder back to the forward-leaning decklid. The flow is flawlessly coherent. From day one, Taurus has been above compromise. The available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert, as well as available Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support are just a sampling of the many amazing and convenient technologies centred entirely on you — the driver. The legendary Taurus SHO, the ultimate driver’s sedan, also returns for 2010 with an all-new EcoBoost engine. Taurus elevates your experience from “What I expected” to “What? A car can do that?” Drive one today.
High-Profile Design
Inside, the many pleasurable details calm your senses. The 38° lean of the centre stack opens the space and elevates the controls to the perfect height. Like the athletic exterior, the seating is pulled taut and form-fitted. The 60/40 split fold-flat rear seat and exceptionally roomy trunk are designed to handle your cargo challenges with ease. An environment like this deserves to be discovered.
Beautiful, backlit gauges bathe you in blue. Audio and cruise controls, mounted on the steering wheel, ease adjustment. The industry-first, Ford-exclusive MyKey owner controls feature helps encourage smart driving habits, such as buckling up and travelling at appropriate speeds. It’s perfect for teens and any other new drivers in your life.
Enthusiastic Performer
The new Taurus gets a sport-oriented suspension, a spirited, 263-hp 3.5L Duratec® V6 engine and a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. In uncertain driving conditions, the standard AdvanceTrac® ESC (electronic stability control)* springs into action, while available All-Wheel Drive handles more challenging roads.
* Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
Personal Force Field
Taurus goes above and beyond when it comes to your peace of mind. New for 2010, the available classexclusive Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Warning with Brake Support. ACC automatically adjusts cruising speed to maintain a preset “headway” distance to the vehicle in front of you (28, 39 or 62 metres at 100 km/h).
Collision Warning with Brake Support can sense if a vehicle ahead suddenly stops, then flashes a warning light and sounds an alarm. If you fail to respond immediately, Brake Support pre-charges brake pressure so you get full brake power when applied.
Taurus SHO. The Legend Returns
The all-new Taurus SHO is all about the relationship between driver and road. SHOspecific sport-tuned struts and shocks, a larger front stabilizer bar, higher spring rates, and higher-rate front strut mounts combine to deliver better damping, more body control, crisp steering response and excellent road feel. An all-new 3.5L EcoBoostTM V6 twin-turbocharged, directinjection engine is exclusive to SHO. It’s paired with a 6-speed SelectShift Automatic® transmission that includes Formula One-inspired paddle shifters for those who prefer to choose their own gears. To help maximize your grip under all sorts of conditions, SHO also comes equipped with a sophisticated, torque-sensing All-Wheel- Drive system. Stunning 20-in. wheels and V-rated tires are the finishing touch.
