Ford Taurus 6th Gen

2009 – 2020

The sixth generation of the Ford Taurus is the final iteration of the model range produced by Ford, excluding markets in China and the Middle East. Introduced in 2010, this generation marked the second phase of the Taurus as a full-size car and stood as the heaviest sedan under the Ford brand globally. The model maintained its D3 chassis from the previous generation but introduced the Kinetic Design language to North American markets. Notably, the development of the sixth-generation Taurus occurred during the phase-out of the Mercury brand, resulting in the absence of a Mercury Sable counterpart for the first time. Concurrently, from 2009 to 2017, Lincoln offered a counterpart to the Taurus in the form of the Lincoln MKS, effectively succeeding the Lincoln Town Car in function. Key Points: 1. Sixth generation - The last version of the Ford Taurus in most markets, except China and the Middle East. 2. Full-size car - Reintroduced as a full-size car in 2010, becoming the heaviest sedan in Ford's lineup. 3. Design language - Debuted the Kinetic Design language in North America. 4. Mercury brand end - Developed without a Mercury Sable counterpart due to the phase-out of the Mercury brand. 5. Lincoln MKS - Lincoln marketed a counterpart to the Taurus with the Lincoln MKS, serving as a replacement for the Lincoln Town Car.
