Choosing Your Ford Taurus

The standard engine is a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 288 horsepower; optional is a 240-horsepower turbocharged 2-liter inline-four. The sportier SHO is powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 and features standard all wheel drive. All have a six-speed automatic transmission—the SHO has paddle shifters.

But the first step is choosing between front-wheel and all-wheel drive:

Front-Wheel Drive
All-Wheel Drive

Buyers then choose from four trim levels—whether you want a bargain, a near-luxury experience or a performance ride, there's something for you:

Ford Taurus — SE
It's back to basics in the base SE, where standard features include a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a power driver's seat, a steering wheel with controls for audio and cruise control, and power windows. The SE is available only with front-wheel drive.

CarsDirect Tip

The mid-range SEL is probably the best choice for most buyers. But each trim level will appeal to a different buyer, so let your budget and needs guide your decision.
