Ford Taurus
No changes for the full-size Taurus sedan in 2018. It’s still offered with a 288-horsepower, 3.5-litre V6 or a more fuel-efficient, turbocharged 2.0-litre four cylinder that develops 240 horsepower. The performance-oriented Taurus SHO relies on a twin-turbo, 3.5-litre V6 that produces 365 horsepower as well as an all-wheel drivetrain. The latter is optional on other trim levels, in addition to a SYNC 3 infotainment system as well as heated and ventilated front seats.
