From its wide stance and sporty design cues, Taurus makes a powerful statement. The bold grille complements the distinctive front end. Adding to that look are signature LED lamps and sculpted lines that communicate motion even when Taurus is parked.
Torque Vectoring Control and Curve Control,39 standard on all Taurus models, are two components of AdvanceTrac® with electronic stability control (ESC). Torque Vectoring Control uses the braking system to imitate the effect of a torque vectoring differential. In particular, when accelerating through corners, it applies braking to the front inside wheel, so more of the engine torque goes to the outside wheel, which has more grip. Curve Control will slow your vehicle when it senses that you’re going too fast into a particular curve. Employing throttle reduction and four-wheel braking intervention, it’s always active in helping you maintain control
Intelligent AWD sensors balance torque between the front and rear wheels to enhance handling and maximize traction, typically before wheelslip can even occur. Standard on SHO and optional on SEL and Limited.
Available adaptive cruise control10 functions just like normal cruise control, with one exception: When the system is activated and its sensors detect traffic slowing ahead, your vehicle automatically slows to maintain the distance you’ve set. And when traffic has cleared, your vehicle resumes the preset speed. Collision warning with brake support (included with adaptive cruise control) can alert you if it senses a potential collision with the car in front of you. A heads-up display, which simulates brake lights, flashes on the windshield. If you don’t react in time, the brakes will precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake.
Rear passengers don’t have to take a back seat when it comes to comfort with available second-row heated seats for rear outboard seat passengers.
All Taurus models come with standard rear-seat vents.
