The previous report said the Taurus will ride on a stretched version of the Fusion’s all-wheel drive platform.Regardless of what chassis it will receive, the next-generation Fusion will be lighter, faster and more fuel efficient compared to its predecessor. The sedan will receive an array of four-cylinder the V6 EcoBoost engines under the hood.The current Taurus is motivated by three units.
