2019 Taurus Exterior
The 2019 Ford Taurus looks like the typical boxy sedan with its moderate front overhang with rounded front edges, a prominent wheelbase, and moderate rear overhang with squared rear corners. Halogen projector-beam headlights are standard on SE and SEL models, with LED supplemental parking lamps and body-color, power, heated side-view mirrors featured on the SEL. The Limited is fitted with automatic high-beam headlights and chrome-accented side-view mirrors, the SHO with high-intensity discharge headlights, LED supplemental parking lamps with Piano Black bezels, Agate Black side-view mirrors, chrome dual exhaust tips, and a rear decklid spoiler. 18-inch Sparkle-Silver aluminum wheels are standard on the SE and SEL, and 19-inch Luster Nickel aluminum wheels on the Limited. Filling the wheel arches of the SHO are 20-inch Ebony Black Machined aluminum wheels.

Exterior Colors
There are eight exterior color options that comprise the 2019 color palette, all carried over from 2018. Cost inclusive options available for all models include Agate Black, Ingot Silver Metallic, and Magnetic Metallic. Oxford White is available for the SE and SEL only. Available for all but the SE are Burgundy Velvet Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat both for an extra cost of $395. White Platinum Metallic Tri-coat is also available for these models at an extra cost of $595. The Taurus isn't a very sporty looking sedan, but exudes more of a sophisticated demeanor which the Agate Black complements really well, while also clearly accentuating the chrome exterior accents of the higher tier models.
