The car was equipped with a MacPherson type suspension. The rear suspension on semi-elliptical springs had telescopic shock absorbers. Sedan and station wagon bodies were produced.

In 1959, the Taunus 12M was updated. The shape of the hood has become simpler, the turn signals are now located on the radiator grille and there is a noticeable increase ifquality of moldings. In the technical part, only the engine has changed: instead of the previous volume of 1.2 liters, a new 1.5 liter was installed.

In October 1960, the Taunus 17M received a new aerodynamic body shape called the "tub". The car was equipped with V4 engines (1.2 and 1.5 liters and 40, 50 and 65 hp). A 4-speed synchronized gearbox was installed. A distinctive feature of this model is the use of front-wheel drive for the first time in a Ford.

In 1963, a heating and ventilation system began to be installed on the Taunus. By this time the caril was produced with sedan (2/4 doors) and station wagon (4 doors) bodies. 520,000 cars were produced.

In 1964, a new line of Taunus 17M / 20M models appeared. Motors were installed V4 (1.5 l / 60 hp), (1.7 l / 65 and 70 hp), V6 (2.0 l / 85 and 90 hp).
