The Ford Taurus X, produced from 2008 to 2009, was a mid-size crossover SUV that marked a departure from the traditional Taurus sedan. It was a stylish and practical vehicle that aimed to compete with established players in the burgeoning crossover market. The Taurus X shared its platform with the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, offering a spacious cabin with seating for up to seven passengers. It offered a choice of two powerful V6 engines: a 3.5-liter Duratec V6 and a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The Duratec engine, capable of producing 263 horsepower, provided a good balance of power and fuel efficiency, while the EcoBoost engine, with its 265 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, offered a more spirited driving experience. The Taurus X was also equipped with an advanced six-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and responsive gear changes.
From a design perspective, the Taurus X featured a modern and aerodynamic exterior profile, encompassing a sculpted hood, flowing lines, and a distinctive grille. Inside, the cabin was designed with comfort and functionality in mind, featuring high-quality materials, comfortable seating, and an abundance of storage space. The vehicle was packed with modern amenities and technology, including a sophisticated audio system, a navigation system, and a range of safety features like advanced airbags and electronic stability control. Despite its innovative design and features, the Taurus X did not achieve the same level of commercial success as the Ford Explorer, its more traditional SUV counterpart. The factors contributing to this, including its relatively high price point and the economic downturn during its production years, ultimately led to the discontinuation of the Taurus X model.
