Model overview

Produced by Changan Ford in its Hangzhou facility, exports of the Chinese Ford Taurus model line did not begin until 2020, when GCC (Middle East) exports commenced,[2][3] replacing the American-produced Taurus.

The Changan Ford Taurus is derived from the Ford CD4 platform while adding 3.9 inches to the wheelbase of the Ford Fusion/Ford Mondeo. The Changan Ford Taurus also shares its platform architecture with the Lincoln Continental, making the Taurus the flagship Ford sedan for Chinese markets. While sharing similar front and rear fascia designs with the Mondeo, the Taurus was styled with a formal rear roofline.

At its launch, a 2.0L EcoBoost inline-4 engine (an option for the sixth-generation Taurus) producing 245 hp (183 kW; 248 PS) and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). is standard,[4] with an optional 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine (used in the Fusion and Lincoln Continental) producing 325 hp (242 kW; 330 PS) and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value).. During 2016, a 1.5L inline-4 engine was added. A 6-speed automatic is the sole transmission offering.[5]

2019 facelift

A facelift for the Changan Ford Taurus was introduced in August 2019, featuring restyled front and rear end designs and a new powertrain with a 2.0 liter turbo engine with 245 hp (183 kW; 248 PS) and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.[6][7]
