Ford Taurus is even more refined for the 2013 model year -- with better fuel economy, more technology, enhanced design, improved craftsmanship and sharpened driving dynamics.

A choice of new engines offers customers increased fuel efficiency, without compromising the responsive performance they want. The 3.5-liter V6 is offered as standard equipment in Taurus SE, SEL and Limited series models. The 2013 Taurus offers the advanced 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine as an option.

The EcoBoost 2.0-liter delivers 240 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque while delivering highway fuel economy of at least 31 mpg. Each Taurus engine is mated to a unique six-speed automatic transmission.

The 2013 Taurus features a more muscular hood. Wider wheels and tires fill out the wheel well openings, giving the car an athletic stance. Rear quarter panels house larger, full LED taillamps. Without increasing overall dimensions or vehicle weight, the new Ford Taurus looks more streamlined, substantial and sporty.

The Taurus interior keeps green with extensive use of recycled material in the cloth surfaces, in the headliner and in the NVH control components. Taurus seat cushions are made from soy-based foam, significantly reducing petroleum-based content.

The 2013 Taurus full-size sedan gets an array of class-leading technologies including SYNC with MyFord Touch, which replaces many traditional buttons, knobs and gauges with clear, colorful LCD screens and steering wheel-mounted five-way toggles. These screens can be personalized to display information relevant to each driver by using voice command, keeping the driver's eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
