VEHICLE HIGHLIGHTS
The 2011 Ford Taurus is largely unchanged following its model-year 2010 freshening. This large sedan comes in SE, SEL, and Limited trim levels, all with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is offered on the SEL and Limited. All are powered by a 263-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine teamed with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The high-performance Taurus SHO has Ford's "EcoBoost" turbocharged 365-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, and AWD. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. Blind-spot alert is also offered, along with Ford's Cross Traffic Alert, which is designed to sense oncoming traffic when slowly backing out of a parking spot. SOS Post-Crash Alert unlocks the doors, sounds the horn and activates the emergency flashers in the event of an air bag deployment. Among the available features are leather upholstery, heated front seats, rear-obstacle detection, a navigation system, adaptive cruise control, and Ford's Sync voice-activated control interface. A rearview camera is newly standard on the Limited. MyKey allows owners to program a key that can limit the vehicle's top speed and audio volume. A capless fuel filler is standard and keyless access/engine start are available. SHO models have specific steering, suspension tuning, and brakes. A SHO-exclusive Performance Package includes uprated brakes and 20-inch summer-only tires.
