MUSCAT: The Ford Taurus with its stylish profile, powerful performance, impressive comfort and space is a good choice for families to make the most of.
The Ford Taurus makes the experience of taking the wheel fun with a 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine which is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, producing 232 Hp and 388 Nm of torque. The Taurus is equipped with front-wheel drive and three driving modes – Normal, Sport, and Eco. Surprisingly the large and powerful Taurus gives an impressive economy of as much as 15.3 km/l.
The Ford Taurus is engineered to offer a blend of seamless connectivity, high on-road performance and an entirely new sleek modern design. Boasting an attractive and stylish design, on an entirely different platform, the Taurus exudes refinement with numerous premium touches. Featuring 19-inch, 10-spoke polished alloy wheels, a new flatter streamlined hood and a power-deployable door handle, Taurus is sleeker in its stance.
A dynamic shield-like, clipped trapezoidal grille with active shutter, black mesh and chrome surrounds hint at the power contained within, with a dual exhaust adding a strong sense of style and substance. Auto high beams and a full LED two-piece headlamp design guarantee Taurus is always seen in the best light.
The Taurus has a detailed and well-appointed interior. The materials used throughout the cabin reinforce the feeling of comfort and exceptional, uncompromised quality. 10-way power driver, six-way power passenger seats and seven ambient colours – including a light interior colour palette.
In the Taurus, extensive use of sound-deadening materials, advanced technologies and precise engineering, as well as cooling dual zone auto AC, ensure that whether in the front or rear seats, all occupants are treated to an exceptionally quiet cabin matched by a smooth and comfortable ride, and an incredible view from the expansive dual panel panoramic moon roof. A cavernous trunk boasting 520-litres capacity adds even greater practicality to the newly-designed flagship Ford sedan.
At the heart of Taurus’ connective experience is the large, best-in-class, multi-function 13.2-inch centre touchscreen – complementing the big 8-inch digital instrument panel cluster – loaded with Ford’s intuitive SYNC4 technology, which comes customer-ready with its voice-activated communications, entertainment and information systems. Inductive wireless charging means no unsightly cables clog the cabin when your smartphone is low on power, while your favourite tunes can blast through six strategically-placed speakers.
For safer more hassle-free driving experiences, the Ford Taurus is equipped with BLIS – Ford’s blind spot information system – with collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning. A forward-looking camera and fixed rear-view camera give Taurus excellent vision, aurally-aided by rear parking sensors when parking. Six air bags complement the seat belt pre-tensioner capabilities, while an SOS post-crash alert system has been designed to help draw attention to a vehicle disabled in an accident, by flashing the lights and sounding the horn repeatedly. A standard feature individual tyre pressure monitor system also adds an extra sense of safety.
