Ford Taurus Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1995–1999) — Third Generation
The third-generation Ford Taurus arrived with rounded, oval-themed styling and a practical choice of bodies: a roomy four-door sedan and a versatile five-door estate built for families who carry plenty of cargo.
Every Ford Taurus engine here is a smooth gasoline V6 tuned for relaxed cruising rather than outright speed. The 3.4 AT sedan illustrates the pattern: a larger-displacement unit paired with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, a drivetrain layout that keeps the cabin roomy and traction predictable. Smaller-capacity versions trade some pull for easier running costs.
