2019 Ford Taurus

Are you searching for a large sedan with stylish European lines, comfortable, quiet, luxurious and up to date on the latest safety and infotainment systems with more than enough power? Then the popular Ford Taurus must be on the top of your list to investigate. This legendary people hauling sedan with its large trunk that is able to swallow four golf bags is proudly on display with the friendly folks at Hixson Ford of Alexandria located at 2506 MacArthur Drive in Alexandria, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 318.448.0871 and so ready to take your expectations for a spin. Simple as that.

You'll find a great deal on this sharp looking big highway cruiser that fits five passengers very comfortable with a starting price under 30K. Load the Taurus with all its high-tech options and you will feel like you are driving one of those “pricey” luxury sedans. It also helps to have 288 feisty ponies under its long handsome hood. This standard powerful V6 has ample energy for passing that 18-wheeler, merging or climbing steep hills. The Taurus also excels in steering precision, cornering ability and stopping power.

Now if you desire more zip in your trips, then also test drive the SHO model. This speedster punches out 365 anxious thoroughbreds with its twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that comes standard with AWD. The SHO will put you at 60 mph in just a blink over five seconds, sounding great in the process and as quick as a cat with 350 lb-ft of asphalt grabbing torque. All Taurus's are fitted with a smooth shifting six-speed automatic. This big sedan from Ford is nearly as long as some full-sized SUV's in length, but it looks smaller which is thanks to the taut and sleek body lines.

Its athletic short deck and long hood profile with the high belt-line seals the deal. Its low roof, wide stance, sloping windshield and rear window give the Taurus that sophisticated appearance. The SHO is more menacing with its tough looking exterior trim, 20-inch wheels and the rear spoiler.

When you slide into those wide and comfy seats you'll appreciate the commanding view of the road ahead. You and your guests will enjoy the ample head/leg room front and rear. Then for those long trips, the available massage feature helps to ease back fatigue along with heated and cooled seats. The multi-function steering wheel and voice-command system controls many of the audio and navigation features. For your communication and entertainment desires, Ford offers it's highly rated Sync 3 infotainment setup with a large 8-inch touch screen. There is also available a 12 speaker premium Sony audio system to enjoy during drive times.

Ford also stacks the Taurus with a slew of standard and optional features.

No better time than the present to check out the new Ford Taurus. The bet is on that you will leave with a smile, not only because you brought back the important “Fun Factor” in your drive times, but for the great deal you received.
