The Ford Taurus is a full-size sedan that was produced by the Ford Motor Company. The sixth and seventh generations of the Ford Taurus cover the model years from 2013 to 2020. Here’s a brief overview of the Ford Taurus during that period:
Sixth Generation (2013–2019):
- Design: The sixth-generation Taurus featured a modern and aerodynamic design. It had a distinctive front grille and a sleeker overall appearance compared to its predecessor.
- Powertrains: Various engine options were available, including V6 engines. The Taurus was offered in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.
- Technology: The Taurus incorporated advanced technology features, including Ford’s SYNC infotainment system, touchscreen displays, and safety features like blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.
Seventh Generation (2020, Limited to Police Interceptor):
- Shift to Police Interceptor: In 2020, Ford announced that the Taurus would be discontinued for the general consumer market. However, a version of the Taurus continued to be produced specifically for law enforcement use under the name “Police Interceptor.”
- Police Interceptor: The Police Interceptor version of the Taurus was designed to meet the specific needs of police departments, featuring enhanced durability, performance, and safety features.
It’s worth noting that the discontinuation of the Taurus for the general consumer market was part of Ford’s broader strategy to shift its focus toward SUVs and trucks. If there have been any updates or changes beyond 2020, I recommend checking the latest sources or the official Ford website for the most current information.
