Ford Taurus 4th Gen

2000 – 2007

The sixth generation of the Ford Taurus was the final iteration of the model produced by Ford for markets outside of China and the Middle East. Launched in 2010, this generation marked the model's shift to being a full-size car and was the heaviest sedan in Ford's lineup globally. Despite sharing its D3 chassis with the previous generation, the sixth generation introduced the Kinetic Design language to North American markets. Notably, with the discontinuation of the Mercury brand, there was no Mercury Sable counterpart to the Taurus for the first time during this generation. Instead, Lincoln offered the MKS as a counterpart, serving as a functional replacement for the Lincoln Town Car from 2009 to 2017. Key Points: 1. The sixth generation of the Ford Taurus was the last in its model range for markets outside of China and the Middle East. 2. Introduced in 2010, this generation became a full-size car and was the heaviest sedan in Ford's lineup. 3. The Kinetic Design language made its North American debut with this generation. 4. This was the first time the Taurus was developed without a Mercury Sable counterpart due to the discontinuation of the Mercury brand. 5. The Lincoln MKS served as a counterpart to the Taurus during this period, replacing the Lincoln Town Car.
