Is a Ford Taurus bigger than a fusion?
The Ford Taurus is bigger than the Ford Fusion, because the Taurus is a full-size sedan while the Fusion is a mid-size sedan.
To understand what that means for passengers, cargo, and everyday driving, this article breaks down their size, space, and current market status.
Size and dimensions
Ford classifies the Taurus as a full-size sedan and the Fusion as a mid-size sedan. That difference in class translates into real-world measurements that affect how spacious the interiors are and how much cargo you can carry.
Key dimensional differences include length, wheelbase, and interior room, which together determine how spacious each car feels in daily use.
- Exterior length: Taurus is longer than Fusion by a noticeable margin (Taurus typically around 202 inches vs. Fusion around 191–192 inches).
- Wheelbase: Taurus generally has a longer wheelbase, contributing to more rear legroom and a steadier ride.
- Interior space and trunk: Taurus generally offers more overall interior space and trunk capacity than Fusion.
- Market position: Taurus is a full-size sedan; Fusion is a mid-size sedan, placing them in different size classes.
- Current availability: In the U.S., Ford stopped selling the Fusion after the 2020 model year and Taurus after 2019; in other markets, names or equivalents may differ.
In practice, that extra length and wheelbase typically translate to more rear-seat legroom and a larger trunk in the Taurus, making it the roomier option between the two.
Production status and availability
Ford ended the Fusion's U.S. sales after the 2020 model year, and the Taurus was discontinued in 2019. While the Fusion name has been retired in the U.S., the Mondeo remains the global counterpart in many markets, and the Taurus name is no longer used on U.S. showroom floors. For shoppers, both models live on only as used vehicles in the United States and elsewhere.
Summary
Overall, the Taurus is larger than the Fusion, offering more length, a longer wheelbase, and greater interior and trunk space. However, both cars have departed from new-car offerings in the U.S. in recent years, so current comparisons focus on used examples or alternatives in Ford’s size-spectrum lineup.
