The styling of the 2025 Ford Taurus is different from that of a traditional sedan, but is more inclined to the streamlined design of a four-door coupe. It incorporates not only youthful and trendy elements, but also reduces the body wind resistance to only 0.293 Cd. The body width has increased by 23mm compared to the previous generation model, and with the harsh lines, the visual feeling is more powerful.
The new car's exterior continues the Ford family's new design concept, and the interior is equipped with the largest screen in the Middle East market on sale! At the same time, the whole series is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. In this article, we will introduce the 2025 Ford Taurus in detail from the exterior, interior and power.
Exterior: Front grille with adjustable angle
The 2025 Ford Taurus measures 4935/1875/1500mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2945mm.For comparison, the 2025 Toyota Camry measures 4920/1840/1445mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm.
The design of the centre grille can be described as full of details on the Taurus. The scale armour on the grille can reflect light through different angles, giving the front end a better glossy look. The scale grille can change the wind angle through the rear drive mechanism, effectively reducing wind resistance.
At the side of the car, the door pull handles adopt the popular hidden design. The hidden door handle design makes the vehicle's side lines smoother and enhances the overall sense of aesthetics and technology. In addition, it reduces wind resistance and lowers the fuel consumption of fuel vehicles. Without exposed door handles, the surface of the vehicle is smoother and reduces the possibility of scratches.
There are also cons. With added components such as sensors and telescopic mechanisms, maintenance costs are higher and the structure is more complex, increasing the failure rate. In addition, hidden door handles may pose a safety hazard in emergency situations, such as the inability to open the door by pressing or pulling in the event of a power failure.
The roof is painted in black, creating the visual effect of a floating roof.
The small rear wing on the tailgate adds vigour to the car and is more in keeping with the sports sedan positioning. The three-pillar taillights are very Ford-esque and have a hint of Mustang when lit at night. The smooth lines of the tail also did not affect the storage capacity of the trunk, compared to the same level of sedan no less.
The 2025 Taurus features an Intelligent Welcome System. When you approach the vehicle, the through-lighting bands will unfold, the air intake grille will swing three times, and the mirrors and hidden door handles will pop up. These ideas will allow the vehicle's form factor to interact with the user in a way that is no longer just on a static visual level.
Interior: 1.1m extra-long screen
The 2025 Taurus most conspicuous is the 1.1-metre ultra wide-area HD giant screen contains a 12.3-inch digital LCD instrumentation and a 27-inch 4K HD central control screen.
The 27-inch 4K HD centre control screen is divided into two areas for the driver and passenger, and most of the operations can be carried out in the passenger area, and the content can be exchanged with the main driver's screen. It is safer for the driver and more convenient for the passenger.
On the materials, the new Taurus has also responded to the demands of Middle Eastern consumers by becoming more premium and sophisticated. For example, the entire dashboard is covered in soft materials. The interior has fine chrome bevelling around the air conditioning knob, volume buttons and even the window buttons, giving it a more premium feel than the previous model.
The only imperfect thing is that the armrest panels in the doors are still black plastic panels. If the panels on the centre console could be used, I believe that the texture and sense of hierarchy of the whole car would be greatly improved.
As for space, the front row storage space is considered abundant, including the standard cup holder and mobile phone wireless charging panel in front, there is also a special storage compartment at the elbow, etc. After adjusting the seating position of the 175cm experiencers, the front row headroom can reach about one fist and two fingers.
Meanwhile, the all-new Taurus' seats are decidedly comfort-oriented with soft cushions, including the front sport seats. This may be an indication that the current generation Taurus, while looking sporty, is still essentially orientated towards domestic comfort.
It's worth noting that the new Taurus has a raised centre floor in the rear, which may have some impact on comfort for those sitting in the middle.
Powertrain
A youthful car should have plenty of power, and the Taurus' powertrain focuses on performance experience, with 2.0T + 8AT as standard. The engine does not differentiate between high and low power versions, and even the entry model has the same power. The EcoBoost 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 238PS, and peak torque reaches 376 N-m. The Taurus is also available with a 2.0T engine, and a 2.0T engine, and a 2.0T engine.
Power output is restrained in Standard and Fuel Saving modes, with the 8AT upshifting aggressively without giving you the hard drive of a high-horsepower car, and the performance is composed enough at low revs. The difference between these two modes is probably that the energy-saving mode will keep the revs below 1,500 rpm, and there won't be too much noticeable torque output even if you step on it more; the standard mode maintains it at 2,000 rpm, and the power response is a bit quicker. Crank it up to Sport mode and it's pretty tame at small open throttle too, but the revs will stay close to 3,000 rpm, and to really inspire the 175kW output, it's a case of just kicking it to the floor.
Features
The highlight of the 2025 Ford Taurus is the BlueCruise active driver assistance feature, capable of L2+ level assisted driving. It has 16 features such as ACC adaptive cruise control, LKA lane keeping system and blind zone detection system.
When the driving road conditions meet the requirements of assisted driving, the system will automatically prompt to turn on. After BlueCruise is turned on, the automatic following and lane keeping functions have a good effect. In addition, through the infrared sensor, this system is also able to do fatigue driving warning, in the assisted driving start, will also always monitor the driver's state.

Summary
The advantages of the 2025 Taurus over Japanese models such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry lie in the more innovative large interactive screen, better power output, more textured chassis and better NVH performance, which will build up a more premium car character.
It may be that the 2025 Ford Taurus can't compete with naturally aspirated or hybrid models when it comes to fuel consumption, but as a mid-size sedan with a high-powered 2.0L Turbo, 10L/100km is still acceptable. For both power and energy consumption, there's only the Model 3, and that's a different kind of American car.
