What are the differences between the Taurus and the Mondeo?
1 Answers
The Taurus and the Mondeo are both mid-to-high-end vehicles under the Ford brand. The differences between them are as follows: 1. Different exterior styles. The two models have distinct differences in their exterior designs. The Mondeo's front grille resembles that of an Aston Martin, commonly referred to as the "Martin face." Its grille is smaller than that of the Taurus, but the Mondeo's hood features more lines, combined with its waistline, giving it a more dynamic and youthful appearance with a sportier style. In contrast, the Taurus has a typical business-oriented design, appearing more mature and stable. 2. Different interior configurations. The Taurus's interior combines leather and plastic materials, with wood trim available in flagship models, offering a richer configuration that leans more toward business use. The Mondeo's interior has a stronger plastic feel but features more tech-savvy configurations. 3. Different body space. The Taurus measures 4996mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1503mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2949mm, surpassing the Mondeo in both body size and interior space. 4. Different powertrains. Both the Ford Taurus and the new Mondeo are equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged engine, incorporating direct injection technology and paired with a 6AT transmission. However, the Taurus's 2.0T engine increases the maximum power and peak torque by 2kW compared to the new Mondeo, though both vehicles maintain the same torque output.
