The 2013 Ford Taurus Has Been Upgraded in Every Way
The 2013 Ford Taurus, Ford's all-American family sedan, received numerous upgrades this year. Many of its strengths have been tweaked for a superior driver experience, including the MyFord electronics system and its improved fuel economy. The Taurus's exterior also has been given an update with a new front grill and fascia, wheels, lighting, fenders, and more. On the inside the Taurus has improved passenger comfort with higher quality materials and tuned-up suspension to make the vehicle sportier and more responsive.
Improved Fuel Economy and Engine Options
The standard choice for this year's Ford Taurus is a 3.5L V6 engine that gives drivers a very nice 290 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. The output has been improved for this year's model as well as the fuel economy, which is estimated at 19 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
New for this year is an optional turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder powertrain that gives drivers an impressive 240 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque while providing up to 32 mpg on the highway. If speed is more important than fuel economy, you can also upgrade to the Taurus SHO that offers a twin-turbocharged V6 that puts out an outstanding 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque.
Safety Features
Protecting your family is always Ford's number one priority, and that's reflected in the 2013 Taurus. In addition to great standard features like stability/traction control, antilock disc brakes, and integrated blind spot mirrors, there's quite a bit you can add on to make the Taurus even safer. Choose a rearview camera and rear parking sensors to help in parking lots and add a pre-collision warning system, cross-traffic warning system, and a blind-spot warning system to make your vehicle as safe as you need it to be.
Convenience Features
There are four different trim levels available for drivers to choose from and each are well packed with features. In the Taurus, you'll be able to get great features like the MyFord Touch electronics interface that allows you to operate your phone, mp3 player, and other technologies in one convenient system. Get navigation, a 12-speakers Sony audi system, HD radio, and much more.
