Ford Taurus X
Taurus X Overview
Take the wheel of the NEW 2008 Taurus X and take charge. The Taurus X crossover does it all. Make room for more people: take your pick of 6- or 7-passenger seating. Make room for more gear: carry items up to 3.05 m (10') long inside. Taurus X is undeniably versatile, and it’s also endowed with chrome-accented appeal, an award-winning new V6 engine, available Ford SYNC™* innovation, and a comprehensive array of standard safety and security features — from the anti-theft perimeter alarm to AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control. The all-new Taurus X is Canada’s can-do crossover.
* Late Availability.
Driving
An experience enhanced by class-exclusive* Command Seating™ which sits you upright and tall, provides SUV-like visibility and ensures effortless entry and exit.
Under The Hood
With a 263 hp engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, exceptional throttle response is a hallmark of the new 3.5L 24V DOHC Duratec V6 featuring intake variable cam timing (iVCT) and best-inclass standard horsepower. This high-revving, aluminum-block engine is teamed with a new, smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission that’s precision-geared for power on-demand and maximum cruising efficiency.
Advance Trac® with ESC
Along with the thrill of 263 horses at your command comes the assuredness of Ford’s AdvanceTrac® with ESC (Electronic Stability Control). It predicts the vehicles intentions, constantly monitoring speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle. When wheel slip is sensed, engine torque is reduced and braking is applied to help keep Taurus X tracking safely on the intended path.
Terrific Fuel Economy
A new engine and transmission work together to provide impressive fuel economy. The FWD Taurus X gets 11.6L/100km city driving and an impressive 7.0L/100km on the highway*.
* Based on Transport Canada approved test methods. Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on driving habits, weather, road conditions and other factors beyond our control.
All Wheel Drive
Over varying surfaces, during acceleration and while cornering, the available AWD seamlessly distributes power between the front and rear wheels to give you increased control. As soon as wheel slip is detected, the AWD system reacts. You probably won't be aware it's working - you'll just savor the rush.
Stop Straight

Safety

All Wheel Drive
Winter snows and spring soakings have met their match – Taurus X is available with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD). In bad weather, over varying surfaces, during acceleration or while cornering, AWD seamlessly distributes torque to the appropriate wheels to help prevent slippage. Helping you maintain steering control by preventing wheel lock-up, 4-wheel disc brakes with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are standard. Traction Control is also on guard, lending assistance at any speed.
Space Architecture™

Safety isn’t an option.
Taurus X takes your well-being seriously, so every safety and security feature comes standard — including 6 airbags. There are 2 dual-stage front airbags, 2 front-seat side airbags and 2 side-curtain airbags which are part of the Safety CanopyTM System that also features a rollover sensor. Assurance.
The Personal Safety System for driver and right-front passenger includes; dual-stage airbags, safety belt pretensioners, safety belt energy-management retractors, safety belt usage sensors, driver's-seat position sensor, crash severity sensor, restraint control module and Front-Passenger Sensing System.
Total Confidence
In addition to a wide, stable stance, the pulling power of front-wheel drive and an extremely stiff overall body structure, Taurus X comes with the assuredness of Ford’s AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control. It predicts the vehicle’s intentions, constantly monitoring speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle. When wheel slip is sensed, engine torque is reduced and braking is applied to help keep Taurus X tracking safely on its intended path. Calm, cool and collected.
Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
An ultra rigid chassis is the basis of Taurus X’ solid safety structure. Crash modeling on a Cray® supercomputer determined that mounting the front bumper plate only to the outer portion of the frame rails promotes a more even collapse of energy-absorbing structures and reduces passenger-compartment intrusion
Warranty
Our commitment to you… Peace-of-Mind protection, like 5 year Powertrain and 5 year Roadside Assistance that come standard.
