- The Ford Taurus X is a 6- or 7-passenger full-size crossover SUV that was produced by Ford Motor Company in the United States. It was originally introduced in 2005 as the Ford Freestyle, before being renamed Taurus X for the 2008 model year. In Ford's lineup, it replaced the Ford Taurus station wagon. The Taurus X ended production on February 27, 2009, as it was slotted between the Flex (to whom it made direct competition on the market) and the upcoming fifth generation Explorer starting 2011 sales year. It is sold in the United States and Canada, as well as South Korea and the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. Initially going to be called the Ford CrossTrainer in development before adopting the Freestyle name as part of Ford's then-naming strategy of naming all cars with the letter F, the Freestyle was previewed at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show with a Freestyle Concept before entering production for the 2005 model year. The vehicle was assembled at Chicago Assembly. The vehicle used the Ford D3 platform, which it shared with the Ford Five Hundred, Mercury Montego, and various Volvos including the XC90. Although it shared its platform with the XC90, the two vehicles were significantly different. The Freestyle had three rows of seats with seating for seven, like many large SUVs (e.g. Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition) and minivans. The Freestyle featured what Ford describes as "command seating," seating with a higher H-point, to increase driver visibility and ease of entry and exit. Power came from a 3.0 L (181 cu in) Duratec V6, with an output of 203 hp (151 kW) at 5750 rpm. The Freestyle, along with the Five Hundred, Mercury Montego, and the Ford Escape Hybrid, were the first American Ford vehicles to use a continuously variable transmission (CVT). All Freestyles were equipped with the CVT, but only all-wheel drive (AWD) Five Hundred and Montego models used the CVT (FWD versions used an Aisin F21++ six speed automatic). To Ford's surprise, 55% of buyers selected the Haldex Traction-equipped all-wheel drive model rather than the expected 40%. However, initial Freestyle sales were below Ford's original projections, though sales were showing steady improvement. Some buyers selected the Freestyle as an alternative to the best selling Ford Explorer. The Freestyle was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award for 2005. This vehicle was initially unveiled at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show as a 2008 model, alongside its siblings the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable, re-badged, restyled versions of the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego. Ford CEO Alan Mulally said that Ford's scheme to make all its cars names start with the letter F was a bad move, as it made Ford's new cars easily forgettable. As a result of this issue being addressed, the Ford Freestyle was renamed the Taurus X, the Ford Five Hundred was renamed the Ford Taurus, and the Mercury Montego was renamed the Mercury Sable. The design of the Taurus X closely resembled that of its former sibling, the Ford Edge, creating a family face for its crossover segment. The Taurus X made the use of Ford's new corporate grille, featuring three horizontal, chrome bars with center mounted blue oval. At the time, the Taurus X also offered an Eddie Bauer trim-line, similar to that of the Ford Explorer. The vehicle, like its predecessor, features three rows of seats with seating for seven, like many large SUVs. The Taurus X used the Ford D3 platform and an updated powertrain, which included the discontinuation of the CVT transmission previously used by the Freestyle, as well as the 3.0 L V6 in favor of the newly developed six-speed 6F automatic as well as the all-new 3.5 L Duratec 35 V6 which put out 263 hp (196 kW) at 6250 rpm. The vehicle also received new power options, including power-folded seats and a power lift gate. The Taurus X featured what Ford describes as "command seating," seating with a higher H-point, to increase driver visibility and ease of entry and exit.
- Der Ford Taurus X – so benannt, weil er auf gleichen Plattform wie der Ford Taurus aufbaut – ist ein Crossover-SUV mit sieben Sitzen, der von der Ford Motor Company in den USA hergestellt wird. Der Wagen reiht sich innerhalb der Modellpalette zwischen dem fünfsitzigen Edge und dem neuen, großen, siebensitzigen Crossover-SUV Flex ein. Er ersetzt den Freestyle, der 2005 eingeführt wurde, und stellt eine Weiterentwicklung dar. Der Taurus X wurde auf der Chicago Auto Show 2007 als Modell 2008 vorgestellt, zusammen mit seinen Schwestermodellen Ford Taurus und Mercury Sable, die überarbeitete Versionen des Ford Five Hundred bzw. des Mercury Montego sind. Der Wagen tritt gegen Konkurrenten wie Hyundai Veracruz, Suzuki XL7, Saturn Outlook und Toyota Highlander an. Innerhalb des Fordprogramms soll der Taurus X auch eine Alternative zum Explorer bieten. Ford-Direktor Alan Mulally merkte an, dass Fords Marketingidee, die Namen aller neuen Modelle mit dem Buchstaben F beginnen zu lassen, dazu führte, das sich Interessenten der neuen Ford-Modelle die Namen nicht einprägten. Aus diesem Grund wurde der Freestyle in Taurus X umbenannt, und bei den Limousinen Five Hundred und Mercury Montego fanden wieder die traditionsreichen Bezeichnungen Taurus und Sable Verwendung. In der Konstruktion ähnelt der Taurus X stark seinem Schwestermodell Edge, durch den das Crossover-Angebot um ein neues Gesicht ergänzt wurde. Wie der Edge besitzt auch der Taurus X den neugeformten Ford-Grill mit drei horizontalen Chromstäben, in dessen Mitte die Ford-Pflaume prangt. Der Wagen verfügt über eine aggressive Fahrzeugfront, Chromzierat und edelsteinartige LED-Rückleuchten. Auch der Taurus X ist ähnlich wie der Explorer in einer Ausstattungslinie Eddie Bauer erhältlich. Das Fahrzeug verfügt wie auch sein Vorgänger, der Ford Freestyle, über drei Sitzreihen und bietet, ähnlich vielen wesentlich größeren Fahrzeugen, Platz für 7 Personen. Der Taurus X basiert auf der Ford-D3-Plattform, sein überarbeiteter Antriebsstrang ist allerdings nicht nicht mehr an das CVT-Getriebe gekoppelt, das beim Freestyle verwendet wurde. Inzwischen wird ein neues, von Ford und GM gemeinsam entwickeltes 6-Stufen-Automatikgetriebe eingebaut und ein neuer Ford Duratec 3.5 V6-Motor. Der Wagen ist auf Wunsch mit elektrisch zusammenklappbaren Sitzen und einer elektrisch zu betätigenden Heckklappe erhältlich. Wie sein Vorgänger bietet auch der Taurus X eine erhöhte Sitzposition für einen leichteren Ein- und Ausstieg. Im Verlauf des Jahres 2009 läuft die Produktion des Taurus X mit dem Modellwechsel beim Ford Taurus aus.

Форд Тоурус Экс) представляет собой 6-7-местный полноразмерный кроссовер, выпускаемый компанией Ford Motor Company в США, первоначально представленный в 2005 году, как Ford Freestyle, а затем переименованный в Taurus X в 2008 модельном году. В линейке Ford, этот автомобиль заменил универсал Ford Taurus. В 2009 годe он занял нишу между Ford Edge и Ford Explorer, и по иронии судьбы является конкурентом Ford Flex, на платформе которого он построен. Модель выпускалась в Соединенных Штатах и Канаде, а также Южной Корее, в Пуэрто-Рико, Виргинских островах и Гуам. 27 февраля 2009 года выпуск Taurus X прекратился. На 2011 год Ford Explorer (кроссовер) обозначен преемником Taurus X.
