“Love the new Taurus. Sportier than I thought it would be. Exceptional interior and I love the AWD”
2015 Ford Taurus: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2015 Ford Taurus is a standard rearview camera on every trim. Otherwise, this is a light update rather than a redesign, with a handful of trim-specific equipment upgrades.
About the 2015 Ford Taurus
6th generation (2010-2019), in the post-2013 refresh years.
The 2015 Taurus is Ford’s traditional full-size sedan: a big, quiet four-door aimed at comfort, highway stability, and a very large trunk rather than sharp handling. Ford pitched it around technology, design refinement, and craftsmanship, while the lineup also offered unusual big-sedan advantages for the class such as available AWD and a fuel-saving turbo four-cylinder. In used-car terms, it is a roomy, comfort-first sedan with an upscale feel on upper trims and a true performance version in SHO.
The 2015 Taurus ranges from the straightforward SE to the comfort-focused Limited, which has leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, memory settings, and an 8-inch touchscreen. The SEL adds useful everyday conveniences, while the SHO pairs a twin-turbo V6 with AWD and a sport-tuned suspension.
What changed, by category

Tech and convenience
The SE gains standard SYNC voice controls and Bluetooth. The Limited adds power-adjustable pedals with memory, while the SHO gains keyless access, heated and cooled front seats, and a power-adjustable steering column.

“I really like the backup camera and sensors because the rear window is hard to see out of when backing up. That is one of its selling points to me.”
