CARBARN | Ford Taurus (2013) | A choice of new engines offers customers Increased fuel efficiency, without compromising the performance They want responsive. Ford Taurus is the first car in Ford's North American lineup to offer the advanced 2.0-liter EcoBoost ™ engine, combining a turbocharger with gasoline direct injection. The standard Ford Taurus 3.5-liter V6 is projected to deliver Unsurpassed Among V6 fuel efficiency while still delivering aspects of segment competitors Increased performance
from an anticipated 290 horsepower. This is accomplished with the Addition of twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT), enabling Increased fuel economy while delivering aspects 27 more horsepower, a reduction in part-throttle emissions and Increased responsiveness. Ford Taurus quality begins with design refinement. Building on the completely reinvigorated 2010 model, the new Taurus features a more muscular hood. Larger wheels and tires fill out the wheel-well openings, giving Ford Taurus an athletic stance. Without Increasing overall dimensions or vehicle weight, the new Ford Taurus looks more streamlined, substantial and sporty. Improved driving dynamics is a quality the driver will feel.
The new Ford Taurus dynamics benefit from the Addition of torque vectoring control. Torque vectoring control - normally found in high-ticket sports cars - is a Taurus class-exclusive feature. The new Taurus adds curve control, a unique Ford braking control innovation aimed at slowing the vehicle, if it senses That a driver inadvertently enters a curve too Quickly. Across the board, all new Ford Taurus models will receive a larger brake master cylinder with revised booster tuning, resulting in a shorter pedal ratio and improved pedal feel Dramatically. Brake friction material has been upgraded for improved fade resistance and performance.
Taurus was bench marked against Audi A6 for exterior fit and finish. Ford Taurus' interior craftsmanship is elevated through expanded use of soft-touch, high-quality materials inside the cabin. The new Ford Taurus builds on a legacy of safety, as the current model earned an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick rating. The stiff Taurus structure contains much high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels, Including boron. Ford Taurus features the Trinity front-crash architecture, named for the three elements are designed to absorb That and redirect crash forces away from vehicle occupants.
Ford Taurus also features Side Protection And Cabin Enhancement (SPACE ®) Architecture, a hydroformed cross-car beam embedded in the floor Between the door frames to help Provide additional strength on the sides of the vehicle. A rigid roof crossmember, side-impact door beams and boron B-pillar reinforcement also Contribute to side-impact protection. In the event of an airbag deployment, Taurus provides an SOS Post-Crash Alert System ™, and features AdvanceTrac ® with Electronic Stability Control.
