Omaha, NE -- (SBWire) -- 11/22/2011 --Atchley Ford in Omaha, Nebraska is pleased to announce the arrival of the 2012 Ford Taurus. The new Ford Taurus is the latest in the model’s long history of quality and affordability. 2012 brings a few updates to the car named last year’s Best Affordable Large Car for Families by the U.S. News and World Report.
The Ford Taurus comes in four trims, offering customers options from standard up. The car is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine delivering 263-horsepower. The Taurus averages 18 mpg in the city and 29 highway driving, and is available in four- or all-wheel drive. Customers may choose to upgrade to the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine for additional horsepower.
2012 brought a refreshed interior look to the Ford Taurus. The standard model includes such comfort features as automatic headlights, keyless entry with an exterior access keypad, cruise control, multiple power sources, a power driver’s seat, and a telescoping steering wheel. A six-speaker sound system with an auxiliary audio jack provides basic entertainment, and Ford’s Sync voice-activated electronics interface, featuring Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, is optional.
A vast number of safety features comes standard on the Ford Taurus. 2012 brings the addition of standard integrated blind sport mirrors. Ford’s Personal Safety System, electronic stability control, safety belt reminders, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, and safety-minded architecture keep passengers safe. Thinking of families with teenage drivers, Ford installed the MyKey system standard in the vehicle, allowing owners to set maximum speed and audio system volume, and create audio and visual speed warnings.
The roomy cabin and trunk space are a consistent highlight of this full-sized sedan. It seats five in 102 cubic feet of cabin volume. The trunk offers over 20 cubic feet, as well. The 2012 Ford Taurus provides comfort and value without sacrificing quality.
