General nameplate overview
Unscoped catalog background, not specifications for a particular year or trim. Review status is unknown except for the assertions cited below.
Ford introduced the Taurus for the 1986 model year, and its aerodynamic shape helped redefine the American family sedan. Across six U.S. generations, the nameplate evolved from a midsize car into a full-size flagship, while the recurring SHO version supplied the performance role.
The sixth-generation Taurus used Ford's Volvo-derived D3 architecture and ran from the 2010 through 2019 model years. It paired a four-door body with front-wheel drive on mainstream models, available all-wheel drive on upper trims, and standard all-wheel drive on the SHO; a 2013 facelift established the exterior design used through the end of U.S. production.
