The Taurus has crisp lines, a low profile, and a sleek roofline dating back to 2010. The wheelbase is long, the car wide, and its overhangs add up to 203 inches of length, dimensions that make the car look low and powerful. Character lines and sturdy hindquarters with the long, low profile add distinction to the familiar but still stylish design. The SHO replaces the horizontal grille bars of the other three models with black mesh, lower front body molding, and a substantial air dam.

The 2016 Ford Taurus presents a choice of three engines, all with a six-speed automatic transmission. The most common choice is the naturally-aspirated six-cylinder, 24-valve, double overhead camshaft, 3,500-cc, 288-horsepower 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 engine with variable camshaft timing for improved fuel efficiency and quick responsiveness. The calibrated throttle and low first gear feel powerful at low and medium engine speeds. The single-turbocharged, direct-injection, four-cylinder, 2,000-cc, 240-horsepower 2.0L Ti-VCT EcoBoost®I4 engine offers better fuel economy and performance almost as good as that of the V6. The four-cylinder engine is lighter than the V6 as well. The hottest engine is the twin-turbocharged, direct-injection, six-cylinder, 3,500-cc, 365-horsepower 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 of the Taurus SHO. Engine and transmission cooperate to keep power consistent and avoid turbo lag. Acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour is just over five seconds. The four-cylinder choice has the best fuel efficiency of the three, EPA-estimated at 22 mpg in city driving, 32 on the highway, and 26 combined.

The 2016 Ford Taurus is stoic, competent, and rarely challenged for road grip. Standard SE models ride more firmly than do other large, comfortable sedans, and the ride remains smooth through body leans. The brakes respond quickly and inspire confidence when needed. All-wheel drive is optional on V-6-powered SEL and Limited models, standard on the SHO. All other models are standard front-wheel drive. The all-wheel system is biased toward front-wheel drive, sending power to the rear wheels only when they spin. The SHO suspension uses stiff shock absorbers and springs and large anti-roll bars. The SHO is a well-balanced big sedan that turns in crisply. The body may lean at speed through corners, but the car keeps a good grip on the road, and the steering gives good feedback and precise, direct action.

The Ford Taurus has a good reputation for safety, scores well in crash tests undergone, but has yet to undergo the toughest, newest tests. The IIHS has given the Taurus its top crashworthiness rating but not yet on the new small-overlap front-impact test. NHTSA rated the 2016 Taurus at all five stars for overall safety, frontal, and side crash tests and four stars for the rollover. Taurus active and passive safety features help drivers avoid crashes. Curve control monitors reduce engine power when the car enters a turn too quickly to stay on the intended path. A post-crash alert system unlocks all the doors, turns on the hazard flashers, and sounds the horn whenever airbags deploy. Options for all models are rearview cameras, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors, cross-traffic alerts, and forward-collision warnings that use sensors to detect and warn drivers of imminent collisions.
