Ford Taurus
Refreshed last year, the Taurus comes back unchanged for 2014. All trims are back (SE, SEL, Limited and SHO), as are the three engines: 3.5L V6 (288 horsepower, 254 lbs.-ft.); 2L EcoBoost four-cylinder (240 horsepower, 270 lbs.-ft.); and the powerful 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (365 horsepower, 350 lbs.-ft.) which is exclusive to the SHO and Police Interceptor versions. A six-speed automatic equips all Tauruses, while all-wheel drive is optional with the V6 engines (standard on the SHO).
