The Ford Taurus X isn't an SUV, nor is it a car. Instead it's an engaging marriage of the two that makes perfect sense... and is perfectly harmonious. There's seating for seven and room for cargo to spare. There's power and handling. And there's no reason to look any further for the perfect vehicle for every need. With theatre seatin, passengers not only get a great view, but also have room to stretch with best-in-class 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-row leg room. Cargo room is also best-in-class with fold down 2nd and 3rd row seat backs. The 2nd row seats come standard with captain's chairs, or can be ordered as a three person bench seat. Because all seats can be folded down, there's a host of configurations for carrying people and cargo.

The Ford Taurus X also earned the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminitration's Five-Star crash test rating; the highest available; for both the front and side impacts. It is also the only vehicle in its class to have a standard Safety Canopy with rollover sensors. This system is a standard part of the Safety Package and the Safety and Security Package, which also includes side impact airbags, anti-theft perimeter alarm, perimeter lighting and heated exterior mirrors. The vehilce platform itself incorporates Side Protection and Cabin Enhancement architecture. This engineering helps protect occupants through advanced crash force management techniques designed to help channel impact forces around and away from the passenger cabin.

The standard Duratec 3.0L engine with free-breathing multi-valve design and Continuously Varialbe Transaxle work together to produce responsive performance, smoot acceleration and car-like fuel economy. In fact, this fuel-efficient powertrain and a 19 gallon fuel takn allow you to travel up to 500 miles on a single tank of gas.
