2010 Ford Taurus

2010 Ford Taurus

The 2010 Ford Taurus is among the five hundred full-size Taurus sedans renamed and redesigned after the takeover of Ford CEO Alan Mulally. Dubbed by Mullally as “the one we should have made originally”, the 2010 Ford Taurus was unveiled during the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January this year.

Repositioned as a personal luxury sedan, the 2010 Ford Taurus is powered by a 3.5-Liter V6 Duratec engine producing 263 horsepower and mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It has been given the badge of Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle or ULEV II which means the Hydrocarbon and Carbon Monoxide emission levels of the Ford Taurus are lower by nearly 50% than LEV II certified vehicles.

The 2010 Ford Taurus has a starting tag price of $25,995 which can reach as high as $31,995 for the top-end Limited models. Ford North American design director Peter Horbury said the 2010 Ford Taurus is much like the 1986 original but it has combined style with substance.

Among the high tech features of the 2010 Ford Taurus include the MyKey parental programmability, Intelligent Access with Push Button Start, Adaptve Cruise Control with Collision Warning, Blind Spot Information System, Rain-sensing wipers, Cross-Traffic Alert and Voice Activated Navigation among others.
