2009 Ford Taurus X
The 2009 Ford Taurus X: Safe, Fun, Spacious.
Don't be fooled! The 2009 Ford Taurus X is no luxury sedan; it is actually a new luxury "crossover" vehicle added to the Ford lineup this year. It was designated the Taurus X due to its status as a crossover vehicle and its close resemblence with the Taurus/Five Hundred sedan.
The 2009 Ford Taurus X is fully equipped with some of the latest, most advanced mechanical features developed by Ford in recent years. The power of the 2009 Taurus X's engine is increased by nearly 30% over the previous engine with Ford's patented 3.5-liter Duratec 35 V-6 engine, which delivers an incredible estimated 260 hosepower and 249 lb.-ft. of torque. With an equally advanced 6-speed automatic transmission, you'll experience the exhilaration of the Taurus X's responsive acceleration, as well as the extra cash from an enhanced fuel economy!
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's criteria for "Top Safety Pick" are quite demanding. And the Taurus X, equipped with numerous safety features including standard AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control System, is more than up to the challenge. Whether your Taurus X is Front-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel Drive, the anxiety you'd ordinarily feel when driving on slippery surfaces will be greatly reduced with the knowledge that the standard AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control System is constantly at work monitoring road conditions and automatically responding to them. And, with Ford's patented Side Protection And Cabin Enhancement architecture, known better as SPACE Architecture™, this advanced engineering feature utilizes advanced crash force management techniques designed to help channel impact forces around and away from the passenger cabin.
The engineers at Ford not only had safety and performance in mind when they built the 2009 Taurus X, but also comfort and versatility. Command Seating™ is a unique feature that literally sets the Taurus X above other vehicles in its class. The driver's seat sits higher off the ground, providing a more upright position and a better view of the road. Command Seating™ makes getting in and out easy, too. Also, 3rd-row comfort in a full-size crossover shouldn't be an afterthought. That's why Taurus X's best-in-class 3rd-row seating space was designed to accommodate 6'2" adult passengers. When it comes to enjoying adult-size comfort, you should never have to take a back seat to anyone.
The '09 Taurus X is a well-rounded vehicle, and the perfect choice for your family. With its outstanding safety ratings, reliable mechanical assets, and multitudes of comfort features, the Taurus X definitely deserves its spot as a best-in-class vehicle!
