What is the official fuel consumption of the Ford Taurus?

[LaRiley]

The official combined fuel consumption of the Ford Taurus is 7.2L/100km. Factors such as vehicle weight, tires, aerodynamic drag, and load can also affect fuel efficiency. Therefore, to achieve better fuel economy, it is advisable to avoid high engine RPM operation and release the throttle during downhill driving. Additional details: 1. Powertrain: The new Taurus inherits Ford's quality standards, featuring a performance-upgraded fourth-generation 2.0L EcoBoost twin-scroll turbocharged engine across the lineup, delivering a maximum power output of 180 kW and peak torque of 390 N·m. 2. Transmission: It is paired with an all-new 8-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode.

According to official fuel consumption data I've researched, the 2.0T Taurus models generally range between 7.5-8.2L/100km, depending on the year and configuration. The older 1.5T versions were slightly more fuel-efficient at around 6.9L, though this engine displacement is rarely seen in new vehicles now. The hybrid version is the most economical, achieving as low as 4.8L, but this figure is obtained under specific test conditions. In daily driving, factors like tire pressure, air conditioning usage, and driving habits significantly impact actual fuel consumption, typically adding 1-2L to the official figures. The newly adopted WLTC testing standard is stricter than the previous one, making the data more reflective of real-world driving conditions.

Last year, I researched the fuel consumption parameters when helping a friend check out the Taurus. The current main model is the 2.0T EcoBoost, with urban driving conditions around 8.5L, and it's very fuel-efficient on highways at just 6.3L. This car can run on 92-octane gasoline, costing less than 0.8 yuan per kilometer. However, it's worth noting that all test data was recorded with the air conditioning off; it's not uncommon for fuel consumption to soar to 11L in summer traffic jams. Ford now equips new cars with engine start-stop technology, which is quite useful in areas with many traffic lights.

Actual test data comparison of three Taurus models' fuel consumption: the 2023 245 Luxury version is 7.8L/100km, the 2019 1.5T model is 6.9L, and the hybrid version is only 4.8L. Note that the WLTC test cycle is more reflective of real-world driving conditions than the older NEDC standard, though it still includes fewer instances of rapid acceleration. My neighbor drives the 2.0T version for commuting, with fuel consumption typically ranging between 9.5-10L during morning and evening rush hours. With a fuel tank capacity of 66L, it can cover approximately 650 kilometers under mixed driving conditions.
