In a surprising move, Ford is getting out of the car manufacturing segment to focus on the development of trucks. That is because Ford has been wildly successful in truck sales. However, Ford has several car options, including the Ford Taurus, that outperform the competition. If you are looking for a new car, here are four reasons to get a Ford Taurus while you can before Ford makes the shift toward SUVs and trucks for good.
HID and LED Lights Standard
While many cars still use the old-style light bulbs, the 2019 Ford Taurus has HID and LED lights that come standard. HIDs first showed up in the ’90s and they produce far more light than standard bulbs. The light that they produce is blueish white and a higher intensity than other lights. That way, they can easily fill an area with bright and highly visible light. The taillights are LEDs, which make them easy to see without lighting up the area behind your car. The combination of HIDs and LEDs makes the Ford Taurus highly visible in every situation.
Ford Alexa
If you are a fan of Amazon’s Alexa, you can use Alexa in your 2019 Ford Taurus. The Taurus comes with the Sync 3 SmartApp system. When you connect a smart device using Sync 3, you can access your Alexa account and use it for a variety of features in the car. Those skills include voice-activated features, navigation, and up to 45,000 of Alexa’s skills. Plus, you can do many of the things that Alexa can do, including controlling your smart home components even when you are not home.
Active Park Assist
Another interesting feature of the 2019 Ford Taurus is the Active Park Assist. If you have trouble parallel parking, it can make parking much easier. The system looks for a parking spot that is the right size, then it guides you into the spot. You still control the braking and the acceleration, but your 2019 Ford Taurus takes over the rest to take the trouble out of parallel parking.
Torque Vectoring Control
To make driving much easier, the Taurus has a torque vectoring control system. As you make turns, the Taurus measures the torque in each tire and makes adjustments as needed. That way, you are less likely to experience issues with losing traction. In cold climates or wet places, having a system that maintains torque can make a significant difference in your driving safety. It also improves overall performance, as the Taurus can help you steer into turns without losing speed.
The 2019 Ford Taurus has been a great choice for drivers that are looking for quality and performance. Although newer versions of the Taurus will not be released, the current version still has a lot to offer. If well taken care of, it can last quite a long time. That way, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits that the Taurus brings well into the future. The best way to get to know the 2019 Ford Taurus is to check it out in person.
