The current Taurus might not be the most exciting car to look at, but that will change with the arrival of the redesigned full-size sedan. Featuring bold new styling, the 2010 Taurus shows off much character than the current model.
A host of new features will be available on the Taurus, including keyless entry and start, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rain-sensing wipers, SYNC, navigation and massaging front seats. Ford's new MyKey restricted driving mode system will also find its way into the sedan.
Underhood, the 3.5-litre V6 remains on duty, developing 263 horsepower and 249 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel and all-wheel drivetrains will be available, and high-end models get a 6-speed automatic with manual mode and wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Ford announced that its new 355-hp EcoBoost V6 engine will also be offered in the new Taurus at a later date than the car's summer intro.
The Lincoln MKT is based on the Ford Flex crossover, which means it offers three-row seating. Powered by the MKS sedan's 3.7-litre V6, which develops 268 horses and 267 lb-ft of torque, the MKT will also benefit from the 355-hp, 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine for extra go. All-wheel drive is optional with the base engine and standard with the EcoBoost mill.
Luxury features available in the MKT include Active Park Assist, adaptive cruise control, xenon headlights, the aforementioned MyKey, SYNC and navigation with THX II 5.1 sound system and 14 speakers. Look for the MKT in late summer.
