In short, the Taurus X has a very competitive price. In addition, if we choose our Taurus X without going nuts with the options, we can end up in a vehicle with a very attractive price: an SEL AWD with the DVD entertainment system and a 6-CD changer costs $37,639. The Suzuki XL7 looks like a bargain in this group, but it's not as spacious as the Ford.

Do not forget to put this vehicle on your shopping list.

Conclusion
Those who have purchased a Freestyle despite its lacklustre powertrain have probably discovered a vehicle that's very comfortable, spacious and practical. Its new name may sound a little off-key, but with its restyling and its more potent engine, the Taurus X deserves a lot more attention.
