Last year, the Ford Taurus sedan full size transformation, creating an attractive, can rival in the class, which is located at midsize sedan and Honda Accord V-6, and Buck Lucerne. New high-performance Taurus SHO, compressor powered by a V-6, also joined the field. Only the parties in the new versus the old Taurus? The interior is less common in this process.
Hoewel the 2011 is hardly noemen spannend Ford Taurus, it is a big improvement over the pre-2010 version. All around, the Ford Taurus has an interesting new form of last year, dropping by the old VW Passat, as the slogan for a higher profile, suggesting a smaller Ford Fusion. Inside, the 2011 Taurus more specific, defined areas for the driver and front passenger are characterized by a low, wide center console that solid separates driver and passenger side (and a lot takes place). And there are plenty of faux wood and chrome. Sports Taurus SHO gets special badging, glossy black dashboard trim and other metal stresses inside and out, and trunklid spoiler, twin chrome exhaust tips and cooler rack.
2011 Ford Taurus moved smart bar with 3.5-liter V-6, 263 horses and 249 pound-feet of torque. Acceleration is smooth and rich sound at any speed, and six-speed automatic is a Smooth Operator, but the paddles (SEL and Limited versions) is a bit strange in a big sedan like this.
Taurus SHO uses much more energy, but it is slightly smaller than before, the transformation of the Taurus SHO sedan, partly because they are giving power to the SHO on the road with such calmness and lack of initiatives to promote stress . New car has 365 horsepower, turbo EcoBoost V-6 version of the same engine breathes easily, but not as dramatic as expected. Ford quotes a 0-60 km / h acceleration of 6.0 seconds for a new SHO of an unladen weight of 4368 pounds to mask some of their powers.
Conduct towards the default Taurus models are very impressive, maybe 2011 Taurus is stronger than expected from such a large sedan, taut, but not nervous, with some natural movement and body. The procedure is direct and precise, and gives lots of feedback, focus on art as it is chosen in electronically, but the hydraulic booster. At the same time, you will not forget that Taurus is the weight of the car, it is far from agile.
The front seats are a bit limited field rushes great console, but has a great potential for long drivers. The biggest problem with the rear passengers coming from universities, as always, opened the doors wide for your feet, but the roofline is low, making access and egress a little harder than it should. With a sunroof installed, and six-footers in the back of his head was disappointing, with an ongoing relationship between her and the stars.
Taurus is a strong safety culture. In crash tests and a list of standard safety equipment, Ford has a collision warning and adaptive cruise control on the new sedan, and Blind Spot Information System, and cross traffic alert and rear and side radar to warn drivers of impending disaster. Taurus SHO also offers an optional reversing camera.
A long list of standard equipment for the 2011 Ford Taurus means that even the basic versions are well equipped. Taurus gets AM / FM / CD player with MP3 capability, tilt / telescopic steering wheel, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, power driver's seat and central locking, windows and mirrors. Additional equipment is Taurus SEL includes Sirius satellite radio, automatic climate control and leather-wrapped steering wheel, Limited adds 19-inch wheels, exterior lighting, a six CD changer, rear parking sensors, leather seats and power controls for front passenger, SYNC entertainment controller.
