All-new 2023 Ford Taurus revealed with 13.2-inch screen, blind spot monitoring

Only a few years after Ford took down the Taurus sedan internationally, the company has revealed the car in an all-new avatar. Ford previously blamed the rising popularity of pick-up trucks and SUVs for marketing dictating the model line-up plans. But now, the sedan has broken cover in a new avatar mainly for the Middle East markets where the demand for sedans is still significantly strong. However, the car is unlikely to be introduced even in the home market of Ford (US).

“It’s crucial to the comfort of our customers, and the integrity of the all-new Taurus, that we test in such extreme climates," product development general manager of Ford International Markets Group, Ziyad Dallalah, said. “Dust and sand can play havoc on engine internals and suspension components by accelerating wear on moving parts. Add that to the searing heat, and you are faced with a vehicle that has to work much harder than it might have to in more favorable conditions. Our testing ensures Taurus’ engine, transmission, driveline- and cooling systems can handle the demands of the region."

At the heart of the new Taurus sits a 2.0-litre (EcoBoost) turbocharged, inline-4, petrol engine. This unit comes with an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
