Speaking of Ford Taurus, you may not be familiar with it. In front of the hot-selling models such as Focus, Maverick and Mondeo, I am still a little rusty. The reason is that it was not officially sold in Chinese mainland before, but appeared as a parallel imported car. Taurus is actually the next quite historical model of Ford brand. Born in 1985, 30 years old.

In terms of design, Taurus is 4996 mm long, 1878 mm wide, 1503 mm high and 2949 mm wheelbase. Compared with competitors, Taurus is slightly shorter in length and bigger in other aspects. The longer wheelbase will also make the interior space more spacious and more comfortable to ride. As a flagship model, Taurus has adopted a brand-new family-style design and followed Ford's latest design language, but it has become more commercial in details, more like a dignified and steady gentleman. Ford's iconic hexagonal air intake grille also has active air intake function, which can help the engine enter the best working platform in the shortest time, reduce wind resistance and improve vehicle performance when necessary. The waistline of Taurus is simple, but the proportion of the body is harmonious. The wheelbase of the 2949 and the privacy glass in the back row add to the business temperament. The design of the rear of the car is very commercial, but the full lines have an American sense of strength.

Interior decoration

The interior design is relatively regular, but the details can still be meticulous, the style is steady, and the materials and texture are not picky. From the details, the interior design has also adopted some mixed styles, such as the use of panels with strong sense of technology, the visual effect is good, the collocation is reasonable enough, and the control is just right. The spacious space allows designers to write boldly. The most intuitive manifestation is that every area of the interior is very large, and even the shape of the door armrest is particularly long.

In terms of configuration, Changan Ford Taurus comes standard with constant speed cruise, automatic parking, tire pressure monitoring, reversing radar, LED taillights, privacy glass, dual-zone automatic constant temperature air conditioning, multi-function steering wheel, shift paddles, electric adjustment of main driver's seat, electronic handbrake, remote start of engine, etc. The middle and high models will also be equipped with LED headlights, electric adjustment of main and co-pilot seats, ventilation/heating of front seats, electric adjustment of rear seats, ventilation/heating of rear seats, indoor atmosphere lights, reversing images, active parking system, ACC adaptive cruise system and blind spot detection system. Taurus has excellent noise control ability, and the interior environment can still be kept at a comfortable level when driving at high speed, which is mainly due to the double glass in the front row and the ANC active noise reduction function.

motive power

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with 1.5T, 2.0T and 2.7T power systems with different displacements. 1.5T engine maximum power 18 1 horsepower, and peak torque of 240 nm. The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 245 HP and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The 2.7T engine has a maximum power of 329 HP and a peak torque of 475 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The biggest highlight of the 6-speed automatic transmission is the knob shift shape, which is equipped with a steering wheel paddle shift. The fuel consumption of Taurus 2.7T model is 9.2L per 100 kilometers, which is not high for a V6 engine, and its power is stronger than other models with the same data. However, it is worth mentioning that all three engines of Taurus can use No.93 (Beijing Standard No.92) gasoline, which can also greatly save costs for users. The fuel consumption of 1.5T models should be reduced. According to Mondeo 1.5T models, it can be maintained at around 7-8L per 100 kilometers.
