263 HP & 24 MPG

HIGHWAY

Award winner in the 13th annual Wards 10 Best Engines 1 review: Along with inspired mid-range snap, the Duratec 35 3.5L DOHC V6 fronts what we believe to be classleading refinement. And it posts some impressive EPA-estimated fuel economy figures: 16 MPG CITY/ 24 HWY for front-wheel drive; 15 MPG CITY/22 HWY for All-Wheel Drive. Just as noteworthy is the astounding 456-MILE RANGE you can achieve on a full tank of gas.

Calm, cool, collected: CONFIDENT.
On-demand acceleration gives you the strength to make things happen. Fords most powerful V6 ever is one of the cleanest-running, which marks another first in Ford history: The V6 achieves PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) in certain states 2 so its as eco-responsible as a hybrid vehicle. The die-cast, aluminum-block engine produces a best-in-class standard 263 horsepower and 249 lb.-ft. of torque; employs intake variable cam timing (iVCT) for optimal horsepower per liter; attains peak performance on regular unleaded gasoline; and is perfectly paired with a new 6-speed automatic transmission. It delivers impressive cruising efficiency and precision shifts are ultra-smooth. V6 acceleration never felt so good.
WardsAuto.com, January 2007.

All-Wheel Defense

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) is optional on all models for enhanced safety, increased control and superior performance. AWD for Taurus X utilizes an on-demand electronic center coupler to deliver the ideal amount of torque to all 4 wheels independently. So wheel slippage is anticipated and virtually eliminated before it can occur. ADVANCETRAC ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL is standard. When conditions warrant the need, AdvanceTrac will reduce engine torque and apply braking to help keep Taurus X tracking safely on the intended path. Studies show this feature can be a true lifesaver.
