2011 FORD Taurus

The Ford Taurus, manufactured by Ford Motor Company, was introduced in 1986. Taurus remained in near-continuous production for more than thirty years. While produced as a mid size car, it changed to full-size in later years. It also had a more-upscale Mercury-branded version entitled the Sable. Since its launch, Ford had built nearly 8 million Taurus models making it the 5th best selling car in Fords history. The newer Taurus competes in the full-size-sedan segment against rivals such as the Avalon, Impala, Charger, Cadenza and Azera, as well as the LaCrosse. The NHTSA gives the Taurus five stars overall in crash testing, with four stars in rollover. The Ford Taurus Reliability Rating is 4.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 6th out of 12 for full-size cars. Ford discontinued the Taurus in the United States after the 2019 model year at which time the average MSRP was $33,500.
