Ford Taurus (China)

The Chinese Taurus is a full size sedan that Ford produces through the Changan Ford joint venture for the Chinese and Middle Eastern markets, sharing only its name with the American Taurus sold from 1986 to 2019. It was developed together with Ford Australia, is produced at the Changan Ford plant in Hangzhou and rides on the Ford CD4 platform, with a wheelbase stretched by 9.9 centimetres over the Fusion and Mondeo, a platform it shares with the Lincoln Continental. It is the flagship Ford sedan for Chinese markets. Launch engines were a 2.0 litre EcoBoost four cylinder and an optional 2.7 litre EcoBoost V6, with a 1.5 litre added in 2016. Exports to the Gulf states began in 2020, replacing the American built Taurus, and a facelift came in August 2019.
