The 2019 mid-cycle refresh elevated the Chinese Taurus to premier luxury status with the debut of the opulent Vignale grade, distinct wave-mesh grille and advanced digital interfaces. Demanding meticulous Ford Taurus maintenance to safeguard its complex touchscreen electronics and driver-assist sensors, this executive cruiser delivered serene travel. It stood as a high-tech alternative to executive saloons like the Honda Accord and Toyota Avalon.
Underpinned by the refined CD4 platform, the powertrain was streamlined around an updated 245 hp 2.0-litre twin-scroll EcoBoost engine, paired with Ford's new 8F35 eight-speed automatic gearbox and rotary gear selector. Inside, a towering 12.8-inch vertical SYNC+ touchscreen integrated HVAC controls alongside Co-Pilot360 Level-2 semi-autonomous driving features.
