Does Ford make Taurus?
Ford does not currently produce a Taurus in North America; the Taurus nameplate was discontinued after the 2019 model year, and Ford has not revived it in the U.S. or Canada as of 2025. Availability in other markets has varied over time.
To understand the situation, this article covers the Taurus’s history, its current status in Ford’s lineup, and what options exist for someone who likes the Taurus’s size and style today.
Current status in North America
Why Taurus was phased out
In North America, Ford has shifted its emphasis toward SUVs, crossovers, and trucks. The Taurus, along with other traditional sedans, was reduced or eliminated as buyers leaned more toward utility vehicles. The Taurus nameplate ended production for the region after the 2019 model year, and there has been no announced return of a Taurus-branded sedan in the U.S. or Canada since then.
- The Taurus nameplate ended production for the North American market in 2019, ending a multi-decade run as Ford’s full-size sedan.
- The company subsequently narrowed its sedan lineup and prioritized SUVs and trucks, with no immediate Taurus successor announced.
- As of 2025, Ford has not reintroduced the Taurus in its North American catalog.
In summary, there is no current Ford Taurus for sale in the U.S. or Canada, reflecting Ford’s broader shift away from traditional large sedans in North America.
Global markets and the Taurus name
Past regional variations
The Taurus name has appeared in various markets around the world at different times, but Ford’s current global lineup does not include a new Taurus model as of 2025. Some regions historically offered Taurus variants or used the name on related vehicles, while others did not.
- Historically, Ford used the Taurus badge outside North America in select periods, but those offerings were limited and were eventually discontinued in many markets.
- There is no official confirmation of a new Taurus model being developed or planned for global markets in 2024–2025.
- For buyers outside North America, any Taurus you encounter today would likely be a used model from previous generations rather than a new-production car from Ford.
Thus, globally, the Taurus name has not been revived as a new-production model in Ford’s current strategy, though used examples of older Taure s may still be available in some regions.
What to consider if you want a Taurus
Finding alternatives
If a Taurus-like size and comfort level appeals but you want something new, your options are limited to Ford’s current lineup of SUVs and crossovers, or a used Taurus from prior years. Ford itself does not offer a new Taurus as of 2025.
- Buy a pre-owned Ford Taurus from model years up to 2019 to preserve the original look and size, while being mindful of maintenance and parts availability for an older model.
- Explore similar current Ford vehicles, such as larger SUVs (Edge, Expedition, Explorer) or other full-size sedans if available in your market, to match space and comfort with modern technology.
- Consider non-Ford options in the same size class from other brands if you specifically want a new, modern full-size sedan with comparable features.
Whatever path you choose, research, vehicle history, and local availability are important because a discontinued model can involve higher maintenance costs or limited parts over time.
Summary
Ford does not currently produce a Taurus for sale in North America, and the Taurus name has not been revived in Ford’s global lineup as of 2025. The model’s production ceased in 2019 for the North American market, and Ford has since prioritized SUVs, crossovers, and trucks. While the Taurus name has appeared in other markets in the past, there is no new Taurus in Ford’s catalog today. For buyers who specifically want a Taurus, the practical options are to pursue a used Taurus or to consider Ford’s current lineup of larger crossovers and sedans or comparable offerings from other brands.
