Under the Hood and on the Road

When it comes to full-size sedans, most buyers are not looking for a darty car with a harsh ride. Even so, the 2018 Taurus still inspires confidence with a standard V6 making nearly 290 horsepower. Go with the SHO trim and you?ll get an impressive 365 horsepower from a twin-turbo V6 that still manages 24 miles per gallon on the highway. The ride is supple but unlike some competitors, this Ford provides enough feedback to feel smaller than it is.
