THE 2014 FORD TAURUS SE

The 2014 Ford Taurus is the company's largest sedan, and it continues to resonate with buyers who want a heavy, comfortable, slightly staid sedan. The Taurus, received a mild update last year; and that's kept it mostly up-to-date--with revised styling, more modern infotainment features, and a new and more fuel-efficient engine.


Last year's updates also included new styling for the front and rear of the car, along with a host of changes that improved driving dynamics and boosted fuel efficiency. Inside the car, Ford provided a spruced-up cabin, the addition of the MyFord Touch system in the dashboard, and some technology and safety features more often found in high-end luxury sedans from Germany. The ride and handling improvements make the suspension more progressive and reduce harshness over bumps. The electric power steering remains precise, and provides more direct feedback than systems from many other makers.

The smallest engine in the 2014 Taurus is now the 237-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, added last year, but most buyers are still likely to go for the 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6. In either case, the engine powers the car through Ford's standard six-speed automatic transmission.

Curve Control
Curve Control will slow you down when it senses that you’re going too fast into a particular curve. Employing throttle reduction and 4-wheel braking intervention, it’s always active in helping you maintain control.

*Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
