2015 Taurus: Even Smarter

2015 Taurus
This year, Taurus features several new appearance and technology updates:
Three new exterior colors are available Bronze Fire, Magnetic and Caribou
Power moonroof is available on Taurus Limited
Power-Adjustable Pedals with Memory standard on Taurus Limited
Rearview camera is standard on Taurus SE
Ford SYNC is standard on Taurus SE

Reverse Sensing System standard on Taurus SEL
Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start available on Taurus SEL
The 2015 Taurus is the most fuel-efficient gasoline-powered, full-size sedan in America, with
an EPA-estimated rating of 32 mpg on the highway with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, while
producing horsepower comparable to competitive, normally aspirated V6 offerings.
Even smarter
Every 2015 Taurus gets the award-winning SYNC connectivity system with AppLink . Drivers can
use simple voice commands to take control of more than 60 available apps that run on connected
smartphones, while keeping hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The list of compatible apps
includes programs for entertainment, news, traffic, navigation and more.
This innovative full-size sedan is also available with MyFord Touch , which replaces many
traditional buttons, knobs and gauges with clear, colorful LCD screens and steering wheelmounted five-way toggles. These screens can be personalized to display information relevant
to each driver by using voice commands, keeping the drivers eyes on the road and hands on the
wheel.
Ford makes backing up a little easier with a standard rear view camera for the 2015 Taurus. Taurus
SEL adds standard ultrasonic reverse sensing system and available Intelligent Access with pushbutton start. Standard power-adjustable pedals with memory enables Taurus Limited buyers to
optimize their driving position.
Taurus Limited and Taurus SHO are available with Fords lane-keeping system, which helps notify
drivers if they drift from their lane. This feature is bundled with Fords intuitive active park assist
technology, making life simpler and more convenient for customers.
Power of choice
A choice of engines offers customers efficiency, without compromising the responsive
performance they want.
Taurus is available with the advanced 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. Ideal for full-size sedan buyers
seeking maximum fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance, this advanced engine combines
direct injection of gasoline and a turbocharger to provide performance comparable to normally
aspirated V6 engines offered by competitors.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost produces 240 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque with an EPA-estimated
rating of 32 mpg highway. A relatively high compression ratio is enabled by the use of direct
injection of gasoline, operating at fuel pressures from 2,200 psi to 2,800 psi. The unique
turbocharger is optimally matched to the 2.0-liter EcoBoost and direct injection system, providing
precise fuel pressure control to deliver boosted power at low rpm without annoying turbo lag.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost uses 5W30 oil to reduce internal friction, and enables 10,000-mile oil
change intervals representing a potential reduction in cost of ownership. In addition, fuel economy
is optimized with a low-tension accessory drive belt and one-way alternator clutch.
Ti-VCT 3.5-liter V6
The 3.5-liter V6 is offered as standard equipment in Taurus SE, SEL and Limited series models.
In Taurus, this engine benefits from the twin independent variable camshaft timing for enhanced
fuel economy and drivability. The engine has been engineered for durability with chain-driven
camshafts, high-strength forged metal connecting rods with floating pins, a fully counterweighted
forged steel crankshaft, die-cast aluminum deep-sump oil pan and four-bolt main bearing caps
with side bolts through the engine block.
Noise, vibration and harshness characteristics are controlled and reduced through employment
of a tuned composite upper and lower manifold, a silent-chain camshaft drive and an acoustic
engine cover.
3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 standard equipment in the high-performance Taurus SHO is Fords
most powerful EcoBoost offering, delivering 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque.
Like all Ford EcoBoost engines, this 3.5-liter produces peak torque across a broad plateau from
1,500 rpm to 5,250 rpm. Peak torque building quickly off idle ensures responsive acceleration.
From the drivers seat, the result is linear power delivery.
Combining direct injection and a pair of turbochargers, the EcoBoost V6 avoids lag by employing
impellers that spool up quickly for swift response. This Taurus SHO combination of power,
consistent torque delivery, all-wheel drive and up to EPA-estimated rating of 25 mpg on the
highway is unmatched by competitors.
Taurus is manufactured at Fords Chicago Assembly Plant.
