Interior Styling

Soft-to-the-touch, high-quality materials are used throughout the cabin, including cloth-wrapped front, center and rear pillars. Design aficionados will appreciate the clean, elegant lines and refined color palette. And for that sense of quiet comfort, Taurus features insulation in the engine compartment as well as the cabin to isolate engine and external noise to provide you and your passengers with an enjoyable ride. Styling and craftsmanship are evident in every detail of the Taurus interior.

HID Headlamps

Unique to the Taurus SHO, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps give it an eye-catching look. In the automatic position, the headlamps automatically turn on in low-light conditions, or when the wipers are activated.

LED Taillamps

Standard on all Taurus models, full LED taillamps not only are sharp in appearance, but also illuminate faster, are brighter than conventional incandescent bulbs and consume less energy.

All-Wheel Drive

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 available on SEL and Limited.

3.5L EcoBoost® V6 Engine

Taurus SHO is equipped with a standard 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine. It combines two different technologies – turbocharging and direct injection. It generates 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque across a wide 1,500-5,000 rpm range.

3.5L V6 Engine

The standard 3.5L engine delivers both a robust 288 horsepower and an EPA-estimated rating of 26 hwy mpg. Twin independent variable camshaft timing controls when the valves open and close to enhance overall performance, while also enabling variable valve overlap for improved fuel economy.

SHO Sport-tuned Suspension

Unique sport-tuned shock absorbers, springs, stabilizer bars and strut mount bushings are engineered to deliver impressive road holding, cornering agility and steering responsiveness. The rear suspension increases suspension travel for enhanced dynamic control and ride quality.

Torque Vectoring Control and Curve Control

Torque Vectoring Control and Curve Control, standard on all Taurus models, are two components of AdvanceTrac® 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. Standard on all Taurus models.

Electric Power-Assisted Steering

Powered by an electric motor instead of a hydraulic pump that draws power from the engine. What's more, since it is speed-sensitive, EPAS can help correct for road irregularities and improve steering feel. EPAS also features pull-drift compensation, technology that helps you offset vehicle pulling or drifting that can occur in crosswinds or on uneven roads.

6-speed SelectShift® Automatic Transmission Sport Mode With Shifter Button Activation

This feature lets you override automatic operation and enjoy the performance feel of a manual with control over gear selection; featured on the Taurus SE, SEL and Limited models. The Taurus SHO has race-inspired, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for changing gears easily and quickly.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Available adaptive cruise control is a step beyond conventional cruise control. When its sensors detect traffic slowing, your vehicle also slows down. After traffic has cleared, your vehicle resumes the preset speed. Available forward collision warning with brake support will alert you if it senses a potential collision with the car in front of you. A red warning bar flashes on the windshield. If you don't react in time, the brakes will pre-charge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness.

Lane-Keeping System

Available on Taurus Limited SHO, the system can operate during the day or night. Lane-keeping alert warns you through a series of steering wheel vibrations, which mimic driving over a rumble strip, should the system detect an unintentional lane departure. Lane-keeping assist actively applies steering torque, which alerts you to direct your vehicle back into the target lane should the system detect an unintended lane departure. The system is available on Taurus Limited and SHO models.

Active Park Assist

While you're driving slowly near parallel-parking spots, simply activate available active park assist and it looks for a parking spot. Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to the curb and between parked cars. Once an appropriate spot is identified, you're signaled to stop and accept the system's assistance. You control the shifting, accelerating and braking.

BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert

The available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert uses radar in the rear quarter panels to detect a vehicle entering your blind spot and alerts you with an indicator light in the sideview mirror. Cross-traffic alert also uses radar to watch for traffic behind you when you're slowly backing out of a parking spot or your driveway. If it detects a vehicle approaching from up to 15 yards away, it provides an audible warning, a visual display in either sideview mirror and a signal in the message center. BLIS technology is standard on Taurus Limited and SHO models.
