The 2014 Ford Taurus is the company's largest sedan, and it continues to resonate with buyers who want a heavy, comfortable, slightly staid sedan. The Taurus, received a mild update last year; and that's kept it mostly up-to-date--with revised styling, more modern infotainment features, and a new and more fuel-efficient engine.

Last year's updates also included new styling for the front and rear of the car, along with a host of changes that improved driving dynamics and boosted fuel efficiency. Inside the car, Ford provided a spruced-up cabin, the addition of the My Ford Touch system in the dashboard, and some technology and safety features more often found in high-end luxury sedans from Germany. The ride and handling improvements make the suspension more progressive and reduce harshness over bumps. The electric power steering remains precise, and provides more direct feedback than systems from many other makers.

The smallest engine in the 2014 Taurus is now the 237-horsepower 2.0-liter Eco Boost four-cylinder, added last year, but most buyers are still likely to go for the 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6. In either case, the engine powers the car through Ford's standard six-speed automatic transmission.

The low-volume, high-performance Taurus SHO is back for 2014 as well: It's powered by the largest EcoBoost engine, a 365-hp, 3.5-liter turbocharged V-6 engine. It comes standard with all-wheel drive--optional on the Taurus SEL and Limited trims with the regular V-6, and not offered at all with the four. The SHO isn't a car that connects viscerally with the driver, but it's capable in corners and maintains the Taurus's calm cabin even when pushed hard.

As the flagship model in the Ford lineup for both technology and luxury, the features and options list is long and impressive. From multicontour seats with active motion to a heated steering wheel, there are comfort features both conventional and surprising. Then there's the technology list, including automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, a rear-view camera system, and even Ford's Park Assist feature--conclusively better than the similar system offered by Lexus.
