Ford Taurus Moving To Mondeo Platform For 2016 Redesign: Report

Ford's next-generation Taurus, expected late next year, will reportedly adopt the ‘CD4’ platform that underpins the new Mondeo and Lincoln MKZ models.

According to US website Edmunds, the new platform will be made wider and longer for the larger Taurus, stretching both the wheelbase and the rear overhang.

The enlarged platform, which will likely also underpin the new Explorer SUV, will make the next Taurus lighter and more fuel efficient than the current model.
