What car is the Ford Taurus?
2 Answers
Ford "TAURUS" is called "Taurus" in Chinese, and it is a mid-size car under the Ford brand. Related information: Introduction: This car is the only model in the industry named after a constellation. As a constellation, "Taurus" carries the labels of "trustworthy, practical, and reliable," which also symbolize the characteristics of this car. Model: The Ford Taurus is a model that began production in 1986, with its predecessor being the Ford LTD. Later, from the 1980s to the 1990s, the Taurus was a model in the U.S. capable of competing with Japanese automakers and achieving victory. In 2015, the seventh-generation Ford Taurus officially began production at Changan Ford's Hangzhou plant, positioning the Changan Ford Taurus as a luxury family mid-size car, slightly higher in positioning than the Ford Mondeo.
I just learned that the Taurus has a rich history. It was Ford's flagship mid-size sedan launched in 1986, featuring a futuristic design with a streamlined body instead of the traditional boxy style. At the time, it shone brightly in Project T-89 and attracted many family buyers. I remember it dominated sales charts in the 1990s, scored high in safety tests, and even police departments favored its police cruiser version. It offered three engine options, with the V6 delivering robust power and stable highway performance, though it was a bit thirsty on fuel. Unfortunately, due to the decline in the sedan market, Ford discontinued it in 2019. Today, you can still find good deals in the used car market—my friend owns a 2016 model that’s been running well for five or six years, only needing minor suspension replacements. Overall, the Taurus represents a golden era in automotive innovation. While Ford has shifted focus to SUVs now, the Taurus left behind valuable lessons.
