Class-leading safety features can also be expected, including a new ‘Curve Control’ system, which can automatically slow the vehicle if drivers enter a corner too quickly. As on the current model, adaptive cruise control, electronic stability control, blind-spot monitoring and collision warning with brake support will also be available.
By offering plenty of selection alongside the various 2013 updates, Ford’s working to ensure there’s a Taurus just right for any shopper. Heated leather seating and all-wheel drive further the model’s appeal to drivers in northern climates.
The twin-turbocharged Taurus SHO receives numerous updates for 2013 as well, including larger brakes, a specially-calibrated steering system and an enhanced heavy-duty cooling system.
The hardware upgrades are backed by numerous cosmetic tweaks, including a new grille, unique wheels and revised badging.
“The Taurus SHO has always followed the original formula of stealthy sleeper, and the new model is no exception,” said Gordon Platto, chief designer. “We wanted to keep the subtle, understated, yet sporty elegance, but at the same time we knew it was time to even more fully differentiate the Super High Output model from other Taurus series models.”
The performance Taurus benefits from the same interior and exterior tweaks as the standard model, and features a generous complement of advanced technologies as standard, too.
The first 2013 Taurus models should arrive in Ford dealerships in the spring of 2012.
