Year to Year Changes
2006 Ford Five Hundred/Taurus:
For 2006, a DVD entertainment system was newly optional for SELs and Limiteds, while a navigation system arrived as a Limited-exclusive option.
2007 Ford Five Hundred/Taurus:
Side airbags were standard instead of optional on 2007 versions of Ford's large sedan. SE models were dropped for 2007. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment were now standard; they had been optional. DVD entertainment and a navigation system were available for both, and were joined for '07 by optional satellite radio.
2008 Ford Five Hundred/Taurus:
Ford's Five Hundred was renamed to become the 2008 Ford Taurus. For '08, this large sedan got more power, freshened styling, and revised suspension tuning. Ford again offered SEL and Limited models with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, but a 260-hp 3.5-liter V6 replaced a 203-hp 3.0 V6 as the only engine. A 6-speed automatic became the sole transmission; the continuously variable transmission was dropped. Newly available was Ford's Sync, a voice-activated interface for cell phones and digital music players.
