our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Ford Taurus?

The Taurus is Ford’s five-seat full-size sedan. It’s powered by a standard 288-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that drives a six-speed automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available, and competitors include the Chevrolet Impala, Toyota Avalon and Kia Cadenza. Ford also offers a performance-oriented Taurus SHO that’s powered by a 365-hp, twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6.

What’s New on the 2019 Ford Taurus?

There are no significant changes this year.

What Features in the 2019 Ford Taurus Are Most Important?

Standard features include cruise control, cloth seats, a CD stereo and a 60/40-split, folding backseat. Available features include dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, remote start, the Sync 3 touchscreen multimedia system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, navigation, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals, adaptive cruise control and a power moonroof.

Should I Buy the 2019 Ford Taurus?

The Taurus is nearing the end of the line in Ford’s lineup; the automaker has announced it won’t be sold in the U.S. when this generation ends its run. A large trunk and decent dynamics have been highlights, but the Taurus’ cabin isn’t as roomy as many competitors’ and the car doesn’t offer great visibility.

    An Amazing Value for the Money

    Purchased as a certified pre-owned car from Ford at reasonable price with only 15k miles. Given the amount of money that I paid & the warranty, I really couldn't be happier. It's fun to drive, has lots of space, is great on the highway and the I particularly like the sync 3. For a larger car the handling is quite good. Gas mileage in town not great but 31-33, on long road trips.

    Wish the Taurus was still being produced.

    I love the car but I have only had it a couple of days, so far so good. This is the fourth Taurus I have owned.

    A great car in the last of the series

    The vehicle is a limited and has great features with AWD and handles great. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth and looks great too. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! The trunk is huge and there is even room for a real spare tire.

    Best Car I have owned

    This car is so roomy and has a huge trunk. Runs smooth and is good on gas. I feel safe in this car. Also love the sun roof. It feels like a classy car at an affordable price. Wish Ford would continue to make them. 2019 was the last year for the Ford Taurus.

    My second Taurus Limited

    I just recently traded in my 2012 Taurus Limited. I loved the car. It was that Olive green color (Champaign). Many people said that the color was ugly. I liked it!! Was different. Anyhow, I got the 2019 Limited(Black).Has everything. I think I am in love again. Took me a few days to figure out how to use Ford Sync and I am still learning. This thing easily has enough power under the hood for me. Its not no SHO but it will go!!

    I am thrilled with my new Taurus!

    The vehicle is just beautiful. I picked out the color but when I arrived at the dealership, it exceeded my expectations. In my 50 years of purchasing vehicles, this vehicle will stand out as number one.

    Taurus Limited

    We feel bad this is the last year for the Taurus. They are classy, economical, and a reliable vehicle. This is our 3rd Taurus and sad it will be our last.

    Much better than our new Cadillac ATS

    I bought a new 2018 Cadillac ATS to upgrade my wife's 2016 Ford Taurus SEL. We quickly decided that instead of upgrading her I had done just the opposite while spending lots of money in the process. After less than 500 miles on the new Cadillac we traded it in on a new Ruby Red 2019 Taurus SEL , lost thousands of dollars in the process but ended up with a happy wife. Happy wife, happy life!
