Did you know that the Ford Taurus is available in four different models? Yup, there's the base model Taurus SE that starts at $26,600. There's the SEL, starting at $28,800, then there's the Limited at $33,000. Of course, if you want something a little less traditional, you could opt for the Ford Taurus SHO, powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost with a starting MSRP that rings in at $39,200.

What is it about the SHO that's so alluring? Well, that standard EcoBoost V6 is a good place to start. Rated at 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, it delivers eight-cylinder power with six-cylinder efficiency (17 mpg city/25 mpg highway). It's not all about power, either - if you choose the SHO model, you'll be riding in style with 20-inch wheels and a well-appointed interior.

But let's take a minute to talk about that interior - more specifically, all of the things that are heated. Yup, the list includes the massaging front seats, the rear seats, and the steering wheel. Sound a bit warm? The front seats are cooled, too. HD Radio, a Sony Audio System, and Ambient lighting throughout the interior are standard equipment.

Of the combination of power and efficiency, Edmunds says, "The SHO's twin-turbo V6 offers acceleration that falls just short of its V8-powered competitors...but it returns fuel ecomy that puts them to shame."¹
