Features and Technology

The Taurus’s huge 20.1 cubic foot trunk makes this one of the most practical sedans in the segment, and it also scores high when it comes to ongoing comfort.

The front and second-row seats can be heated to keep all passengers warm and cozy when the weather across Illinois starts to turn chilly, and the front seats can even be cooled to keep things airy and refreshing at the height of summer. The seats, steering wheel, and shift knob can all be trimmed in leather, and dual-zone climate control comes as standard in all models save the entry-level SE.

Technologies include a SYNC 3 infotainment system and a Sony premium sound system with Clear Phase and Live Acoustics technology, but the Taurus really shoots beyond the average when equipping driver assistance features, with options including:

• Lane-Keeping Alert
• Lane-Keeping Aid
• BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support

The 2017 Ford Taurus has already scored a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA, and these optional technologies deliver an additional layer of protection that’s ideal for drivers who must commute from areas like Naperville or Oswego into the city each morning.
