Once a popular family sedan, the Taurus is now primarily aimed at fleet customers and buyers looking for a value-priced midsize car. A 3.0L OHV V-6 and 4-speed automatic is the sole powertrain. A Taurus with a flexible fuel (ethanol/gasoline combination) V-6 is available for fleet use. ABS, traction control, and side airbags are optional.
