Innovative convenience features on the Taurus X include one-touch, flip-and-fold second-row seating and an available power rear liftgate.
At the heart of the 2008 Taurus X is Ford?s 3.5-liter Duratec 35 V-6 engine that delivers 263 horsepower ? an increase of nearly 30 percent over the previous engine.
The exterior design of the Taurus X picks up design cues from the Ford Edge, including the step-up headlamps and distinctive Ford three-bar chrome grille. The Taurus X also features a restyled hood, newly shaped front fenders and fascia along with headlamps and fog lamps mounted in new chrome surrounds.
The interior of the new Taurus X is as large and comfortable as it is flexible. The new crossover is available in six- and seven-passenger configurations and offers exceptional visibility and space for all passengers because of the stadium style seating that places the third row higher than the second row. It can haul cargo as well.
Taurus X is rated the safest seven-passenger crossover in America after earning five-star ratings in all four categories of government crash tests and a ?Top Safety Pick? rating from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Every 2008 Taurus X has standard anti-lock brakes and AdvanceTrac electronic stability control. Ford?s Safety Canopy side curtain air bags are available for all three rows. The advanced side air curtains feature ?roll-fold? technology to enhance protection during an extended crash event.
