Ford Taurus
The content on this page was created using generative artificial intelligence powered only by Cars.com articles and edited by Cars.com’s Editorial team for accuracy.
The Ford Taurus made its debut in 1986, revolutionizing the family sedan segment with its sleek, aerodynamic design that moved away from the boxy styling of the past. Over the next six generations, the Taurus evolved to stay competitive with other mainstream-brand four-door sedans, but as the market continued to shift toward SUVs, the sales of traditional sedans plummeted. Like most of its domestic rivals, Ford discontinued almost all of its passenger cars by the end of the 2010s. The Taurus was dropped after the 2019 model year.
2010-2019 Taurus
The sixth-generation Taurus debuted for the 2010 model year and saw mild updates throughout its 10-year lifespan. With the phasing out of the elderly Crown Victoria (which was discontinued for good after the 2011 model year), the Taurus became Ford’s largest sedan.
