Even in the quarter-mile run, the car is an average performer and won't pin any excitement meter around. The fastest car of the lot is 2018 Ford Fusion which is just a tad bit quicker than the 2018 Ford Taurus and does the 0-60 MPH run in 5.3 seconds. It also reaches the quarter-mile mark faster than the 2018 Ford Taurus.
The braking on the 2018 Ford Taurus is quite sure-footed and has an evident bite to it. Although it is not the best braking car in its segment it's not the worst either.
