5 reasons to buy the 2019 Ford Taurus
1. Is that the base model?
Choose the base 2019 Taurus SE and you'll be pleasantly surprised at what comes standard, such as six-way power driver and passenger seats, and that's just the beginning. The front-wheel-drive SE also features remote keyless entry, power windows, and the SYNC® Voice Recognition Communications and Entertainment System, all as standard equipment.
2. Time to "SHO" off!
Opt for the 2019 Ford Taurus SHO, short for "Super High Output," and experience a true sports sedan. With a twin-turbo 3.5L EcoBoost® engine putting out 365 hp and 350 lb.-ft. of torque, you'll get the optimal driving performance you're looking for. That is all on top of standard AWD, a sport-tuned suspension, and performance brakes. It all adds up to a thrilling driving experience.
3. Loads of space
A full-size, five-passenger car means you should expect full-size measurements. The Taurus doesn't disappoint with regard to space. Look for 20.1 cubic feet of trunk space so you can haul five friends' belongings along with hauling five friends. Those friends will ride in style with 102.2 cubic feet of passenger volume and optional luxury features like power seats, leather interior, and much more!
4. Powerful engine choices
The 2019 Ford Taurus comes with a 3.5L V6 producing 288 hp 254 lb.-ft. of torque as standard on the SE, SEL, and Limited trims. That all gets routed through a six-speed SelectShift® automatic with Sport Mode. With the V6 you'll also get an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
5. Driver assistance features
The Ford Taurus has a variety of technologies designed to help keep you between the lines. Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with cross-traffic alert and AdvanceTrac® electronic stability control is standard across all Taurus models. Adaptive Cruise Control with forward collision warning, a Lane-Keeping System, and an Active Park Assist are all optional extras to help maximize your driving experience.
