2018 Ford Taurus SEL 4dr Front-Wheel Drive Sedan

Overview

The Taurus is Ford's flagship, offering an owner confidence on the road, with a spacious interior, luxury car comfort and quietness, advanced technologies and a top safety rating. The Taurus is available in both front- and all-wheel drive configurations, with power supplied by a 288-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine; the high performance all-wheel drive SHO trim gets a twin-turbo version of the 3.5-liter V6, generating 365 horsepower.

For 2018, the turbocharged four-cylinder engine is no longer offered; otherwise, the Ford Taurus carries over unchanged.
