2013 Ford Taurus Review
Overview
With chiseled good looks from every angle the new 2013 Taurus appears more aggressive and assertive than ever. Advanced Ford powertrain technology comes in not two but three Taurus engine choices for 2013. The new 2.0L EcoBoost option delivers high 4-cylinder fuel efficiency while generating V6 power. The standard 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 is now equipped with the performance and efficiency benefits of direct injection and twin-independent variable camshaft timing. And there's the Taurus SHO with its 3.5L EcoBoost engine and unique sport-tuned suspension system – an exhilarating experience for the driving enthusiast who craves V8 power but desires V6 economy. SYNC with MyFord Touch lets you customize systems like climate controls and available voice-activated Navigation System your mobile phone and music library in a way you've never before experienced. BLIS with cross-traffic alert lets you know when a vehicle is in your blind spot or is approaching when you're slowly backing out of a parking space. Adaptive cruise control automatically slows your Taurus when traffic ahead slows down. And there's active park assist that takes the dread out of parallel parking. The Taurus comes with Curve Control that will slow you down when it senses that you are going too fast through a particular curve. Employing throttle reduction and 4-wheel braking intervention it's always active in helping you maintain control. Every Taurus comes with the Personal Safety System to keep you safe. The 2013 Ford Taurus Innovation that never stops.
