What engine powers the 2010 Ford Taurus?
Despite carrying added weight for 2010, power continues to come from the same 3.5-liter V-6 that was used for 2009. That engine delivers 263 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 249 lb.-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm while returning fuel economy estimates of up to 18 mpg city/28 mpg highway (our lead-footed editor averaged 19.2 mpg). Those figures are for the front-wheel-drive variants mated to the Taurus’s one and only transmission, a six-speed automatic; select the optional all-wheel-drive system and ratings will likely mimic 2009’s 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway.
