The legendary Ford Taurus makes a comeback for model year 2008, replacing both the Ford Five Hundred and Ford Freestyle in the model lineup. In addition to the Taurus sedan, the Ford Taurus X is a four-door crossover with power, versatility, and an impressive array of safety features. Offered in three trim levels, the SEL, Eddie Bauer, and Limited, it features standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive.

The standard, powerful 3.5L Duratec DOHC 24V V-6 engine generates 263 horsepower and 249 lb.-ft. of torque and is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting and seamless power delivery.

Safety and security are emphasized, as the Taurus X comes with six standards airbags and the Safety Canopy System with rollover sensor and side curtain airbags. AdvanceTrac® electronic stability control (ESC) provides drivers with a confident ride and smooth handling in all weather conditions while the standard 4-wheel disc ABS system stops the vehicle with aplomb. With a long list of passive safety features, it has a full 5-star crash test rating from the NHTSA, making the Taurus X the highest-rated 7 passenger crossover vehicle available.

Flexible and roomy, it can accommodate up to 7 passengers with the available 3-passenger 60/40 split 2nd-row seat and boasts best-in-class cargo space, with a generous 85.2 cubic feet behind the 1st-row seats.

For family sedan buyers who need a little extra cargo room and capability, the 2008 Ford Taurus X incorporates all the best features of the Taurus sedan with the space of a compact SUV.
