One of the staples of the Sedan segment is the Ford Taurus. In the previous model year debuted a brand new version of the Taurus with four versions: GL, LX, SE, and SHO. Sales for the Taurus, especially the Taurus SE, were brisk during 1995 and 1996. The improved vehicle quality and the modern styling were responsible for the boost in sales.

Engine Performance

The Taurus SE is equipped with a Ford 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The Vulcan engine is mated to a Ford 4-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.

The Taurus uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Taurus SE Statistics

The Taurus is 192.00 inches long, 71.20 inches wide, and 54.10 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 106.00 inches. It is able to seat 6 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1995 (MSRP) was $17,585, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1995 Taurus is a SFI design, running on FLEX fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 16.00 gallons.

The 1995 Taurus gets 30 miles/gallon on the highway and only 20 in the city. This is average for a sedan car.
