Practical for all situations

The 2020 Ford Taurus Police vehicle comes from the sixth generation Taurus, which was all-new for the 2010 model year. This front-wheel-drive police cruiser has a 2.0L, four-cylinder hybrid engine, with a combined power output of 188 hp, and delivers an EPA-estimated 38 mpg in combined driving. Fuel economy figures are based on EPA estimates for when vehicle sold as new. Actual mileage will vary based on things like battery age, vehicle condition and history, driving and charging habits, accessory use, and driving conditions. Battery capacity may decrease with time and use. See fueleconomy.gov for more info. The former police cruiser will give you a comfortable ride as well as modern amenities such as dual automatic climate control, push-button start, cruise control, and Ford’s Sync® infotainment system. Plus, with an easy-to-clean, dark interior and features like Ford’s MyKey, this could be a good car if you have a family or teen drivers.

5 reasons to buy the 2020 Ford Taurus Police

1. Spend less time at gas stations 

Even though this is a large sedan, it acts more like a compact car when you look at the time between fill-ups. This police cruiser is only available as a hybrid, and it's equipped with a 2.4L, four-cylinder engine and an 88-kW electric motor. The 1.4-kW lithium-ion battery pack allows idling without the engine on and gives an electrified boost while driving. The 2020 Ford Taurus Police vehicle will get an EPA-estimated 40 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, with a combined 38 mpg. 

2. Easy-to-clean, sturdy interior 

Not everyone wants a white interior. If you are a spiller or have messy passengers in the back seat, the 2020 Ford Taurus Police vehicle has you covered. This large sedan has heavy-duty dark cloth seats in the front and a vinyl bench seat in the back with heavy-duty vinyl flooring throughout. 

3. Relationship-saving climate control 

If you like it hot but your significant other likes it cold, you no longer have to fight over the climate controls with the dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control. Set yours at a comfy 76 while your front passenger sets theirs at 68 and live happily ever after on road trips. You'll also appreciate the one-touch power up and down front windows. Other available climate control features to watch for include a rear window defroster, an engine block heater, and a trunk circulation fan. 

4. Serves up gentle reminders 

Ford’s MyKey is standard on the 2020 Ford Taurus Police vehicle, which means you can program the key to initiate a seatbelt reminder that mutes your audio until the driver fastens their seatbelt or to send earlier notifications for low fuel. Other features such as touchscreen restrictions, speed limiters, and radio screening are options. All this is great if you have a new or teen driver in your house. 

5. Police-tuned suspension and brakes 

While the Taurus will generally serve up a comfortable and quiet ride on the highway, the 2020 Ford Taurus Police vehicle has the added benefit of beefed-up suspension and brakes. The brakes are four-wheel-disc and power-assisted with an antilock brake system and police-calibrated twin-piston calipers and rotors. The former police vehicle also has the added benefit of front deflector places for under-body protection.
