The North American version of the Ford Escort is a range of cars that was sold by Ford from the 1981 to 2003 model years. The direct successor of the Ford Pinto , the Escort also largely overtook the role of the European-imported Ford Fiesta as the smallest vehicle in the Ford model line in North America. Produced across three generations, the first generation was a subcompact ; the latter two generations were compact cars . Becoming highly successful in the marketplace, the Escort became the best-selling car in the United States after 1982, a position it would hold for much of the 1980s.
Produced across three generations, the Escort was the first world car developed by Ford, with the first-generation American Escort designed alongside Ford of Europe, who transitioned the Escort Mk III to front-wheel drive. During its production, the Escort also underwent a wide use of platform sharing and rebranding. The first generation served as the basis of the longer-wheelbase Ford Tempo/Mercury Topaz , the two-seat Ford EXP/Mercury LN7 and was rebranded as the Mercury Lynx. The second generation was introduced for 1991, growing into the compact segment. Moving away from a shared design with Ford of Europe, the Escort now shared a platform with the Mazda 323 and sharing a body with the Ford Laser (a model line sold in Asia and Oceania); the Mercury Lynx was replaced by the Mercury Tracer. For 1997, the third generation served as an extensive redesign of the previous-generation sedan; the Escort ZX2 two-door was introduced, with the Mercury Tracer adopting a similar redesign.
Ford introduced the Ford Focus in North America for 2000 as its third "world car", phasing it in as the successor of the Escort. After 2000, the four-door Escort was moved primarily to fleet sales (with the coupe remaining available); production ended entirely after the 2002 model year. In contrast to the first-generation American Escort and Escort Mk III of Ford of Europe (and the Mondeo/Contour and Mercury Mystique), the Focus adopted a much larger degree of commonality between its European and North American variants, in effect, becoming the original world car Ford had originally envisaged with the Escort.
The Ford Escort began as an intended " world car " project by Ford in North America and Ford of Europe. Ford had already tried to market its European models retrospectively for the North American market - recent examples in the 1970s had been the Capri and the Mk I Fiesta , but these were merely "federalizations" in response to an emergent market need and were not true world cars - i.e. a single product conceived from the beginning to cater for both markets.
The programme intended to consolidate the replacements for the North American Ford Pinto and the European Ford Escort Mk II under a single model architecture. Intended for a 1981 model launch, the original intent was for the American Escort and the European Mk III Escort to share a common chassis architecture and components. During model development, American and European design teams diverged in thinking, leading to extensive differences in the final product lines.
Though they share the same basic shape, the 1981 Ford Escort and Escort Mk III share no interchangeable body parts; the only common components between the two vehicles are the CVH inline-4 engine and the ATX automatic transmission. The suspension is the same basic design between both cars, but again the components are not interchangeable. While sharing a common 94.2 inch wheelbase, the American Escort is longer and wider than the European version; most versions are fitted with a larger amount of chrome exterior trim typical of American vehicles of the period, and the altered proportions gave the car a heavier and more ungainly appearance than its European sister. In Europe, the Escort was produced in three body styles never developed for North America, including a 3-door station wagon, 2-door convertible, and a 2-door van. The European version also had a 4-door sedan derivative marketed separately under the Orion nameplate.
The first-generation Ford Escort was launched on October 3, 1980 for the 1981 model year, with Lincoln-Mercury marketing the model line as the Mercury Lynx. [1] Sharing a nearly identical wheelbase with the Pinto, the Escort grew in size over its predecessor, nearly six inches longer and over three inches taller. Alongside an unnamed base trim, the Escort was marketed in L, GL, GLX, and SS trim levels. [2]
For 1981, the Escort was initially introduced with three-door hatchback and five-door station wagon body styles; a five-door hatchback was introduced in May 1981. [3] [4] To showcase its "world car" status, Ford designed an Escort badge for the front fenders including a globe representing the earth; this badge was used for 1981 only. In line with the larger Fairmont and LTD Crown Victoria station wagons, the Escort wagon was offered with an imitation woodgrain Squire package in GL and GLX trims. [5] [6]
For 1982, the exterior received a minor revision, as the model badging was revised to reflect the adoption of the Ford Blue Oval emblem to its North American product lines; along with an updated grille, the blue oval replaced the previous "FORD" lettering on the liftgate. [7] A high-performance Escort SS was introduced, renamed the Escort GT by the end of 1982 production. [7] The Ford EXP was introduced as a two-seat hatchback coupe (see below). Starting at a price of $5,518, [8] the 1982 Escort became the best-selling Ford model line and the best-selling automobile nameplate in the United States. [7]
For 1983, the exterior was largely carryover, with most changes concentrated to the Escort GT and the EXP. For liftback/wagon Escorts, the unnamed base model was dropped, leaving the L trim as standard. [7]
For 1984, the trim levels were revised further, as the GLX was replaced by the LX. [7] Offered for the five-door hatchback or wagon, the LX was fitted with the fuel-injected engine of the GT, along with its blackout trim, and styled cast-aluminum wheels. The interior of the Escort was revised, introducing a new dashboard and new shift boots for manual transmissions; in line with other Fords, activation of the horn was moved from the turn signal stalk to the steering wheel. [7]
Debuting as a "1985½" model change, Ford released a revision of the first-generation Escort. While much of the bodyshell was carried over, the front fascia saw extensive aerodynamic revisions, with designers fitting a smaller grille and flush-mounted aerodynamic headlamps. In other revisions, chrome trim was largely relegated to the bumpers. In a trim revision, the Escort Pony became the lowest-price version of the model line, replacing the Escort L entirely for 1986. [7]
For 1987, the trim lineup was simplified to a three-version range, including the Pony, GL, and GT. The Pony and GT were offered solely as a three-doors; the GL was offered as a three-door, five-door, and wagon. [9] The model year also saw the retirement of the Mercury Lynx, replaced by the Mercury Tracer during 1987 (a rebranded Ford Laser, itself derived from the Mazda 323). [10]
During the mid-1988 model year, the Escort underwent a second revision, again revising the front and rear fascias, adding plastic bumpers (integrated into the bodywork), revised (flush-mounted) quarter-window glass on hatchbacks. On non-GT Escorts, the wheel size was increased from 13 inches to 14 inches and the LX trim replaced the GL. [7] [9] To accommodate passive-restraint regulations, the Escort received automatic shoulder safety belts. [7] In another change, the Escort EXP was discontinued.
For 1989 and 1990, the Escort saw no major functional changes, ending production in early 1990; in preparation for the launch of the second-generation Escort, all production had shifted to Edison Assembly in New Jersey. [11]
While the two final product lines would end up with no shared body commonality, the American Escort would share a powertrain with the European Mk III Escort. Developed for the model line, the CVH inline-4 engine family was introduced in a 1.6L displacement for the North American market; smaller 1.1L and 1.3L versions were found to be insufficient in power output for the market and were not certified. [3] The 65hp engine was paired with 4-speed MTX-2 and 5-speed MTX-3 manual transmissions, and a 3-speed ATX/FLC automatic transmission.
For 1982, the Escort SS (later GT) received a "HO" high-output version of the 1.6L engine, increased to 80hp; fuel injection increased the output of the HO engine to 88hp for 1983. [7] The 1983 GT was the first Escort offered with a 5-speed manual transmission.
For 1984, two new engines were introduced. A Mazda-sourced 2.0L inline-4 diesel (producing 52hp) became available on non-GT Escort/Lynx trims; [12] in contrast to the diesel, a turbocharged version of the 1.6L I4 raised output to 120hp for the Turbo GT. [7]
As part of the mid-1985 model-year revision, the 1.6L I4 was enlarged to 1.9L, increasing output to 86 hp; the GT increased output to 108 hp (the Turbo GT was retired).
For 1987, the standard Escort adopted throttle-body fuel injection, dropping the carburetor; output was increased to 90hp. [7] The model year also saw the retirement of the diesel engine, discontinued due to low demand (less than 1.2 percent of overall sales [13] ).
While the standard Escort retained the same engine following the mid-1988 revision, the GT was retuned slightly, increased to 110hp.

Introduced for 1982, the two-seat Ford EXP (later Escort EXP) was a coupe variant of the Escort. The first production two-seat Ford since the Thunderbird , the EXP was developed with a sportier exterior appearance (but few performance upgrades) over the standard three-door liftback. The EXP was sold by Lincoln-Mercury from 1982 to 1983 as the Mercury LN7, differing slightly in grille and hatchback design.
Following the 1985 update of the Escort, the EXP underwent a restyling, becoming the Escort EXP. Distinguished by the adoption of the front fascia from the liftback Escort, the two-seat coupe adopted a more subdued appearance. The variant was discontinued after the 1988 model year; as consumer demand shifted away from two-seat vehicles, Ford sought to concentrate its resources on the four-seat Ford Probe (which began development as the intended 1989 Ford Mustang).
For 1981, Ford introduced the Escort SS as a performance-oriented version of the model line, offered as both a three-door liftback and five-door station wagon. Externally distinguished by blacked-out trim, special stripes and SS decals, the Escort SS also received upgraded brakes, suspension, and model-specific seats and full instrumentation. [2] For 1982, the 1.6L engine was increased in output to 80hp. [7]
As a running change during the 1982 model year, the Escort SS was renamed the Escort GT. In addition to removing conflict with the Chevrolet SS option package , [5] the change aligned the model nomenclature with the namesake Mustang GT (with Ford offering the Escort GT solely as a three-door).
For 1983, the GT received a fuel-injected 1.6L engine, raising output to 88hp; the engine was also paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. A Turbo GT was introduced, increasing output to 120hp. [7] The GT/Turbo GT introduced metric-size alloy wheels to fit Michelin TRX tires, [15] fog lights, and front and rear spoilers. [7]
For 1984, the Escort GT was largely carryover, with the Turbo GT lasting into the first half of 1985 production. [7]
For the 1985½ revision of the Escort, the GT initially went on hiatus, returning for the 1986 model year. [7] Alongside the standard Escort, the 1.6L was replaced by a 1.9L fuel-injected engine, with the GT receiving a higher-output 108hp version. [7] [9] Distinguished by its body-color asymmetrical grille, the GT received body-color bumpers (integrating the foglamps), 15-inch alloy wheels, body sill skirts, and optional 2-tone paint (similar to the Merkur ).
While 1987 was largely carryover, the GT underwent a second facelift midway through the 1988 model year alongside the standard Escort 3-door. The 1988½ Escort GT replaced the asymmetrical grille with a body-color insert and new rear spoiler. [7] For 1989, the GT received another grille revision, unchanged for 1990.
Replacing the standard Escort and the Escort L, the Escort Pony served as the lowest-content version of the Escort; prior to the intr
