In 1992, an all new Zetec 16-valve engine was launched bringing improved driveability, while also marking the return of the XR3i.
I'd be grateful if you could give the video a 👍 and subscribe if you're new to the channel.
The Escort Mk5 and Mk3 Orion saloon arrived in September 1990 with an all-new bodyshell and a simplified torsion beam rear suspension (instead of the Mark3's fully independent layout). Initially the 1.3 L HCS, 1.4 L and 1.6 L CVH petrol and 1.8 L diesel units were carried over from the old model.
In early 1992, an all new Zetec 16-valve engine was launched bringing improved driveability, while also marking the return of the XR3i which was available with two versions of the 1.8 L Zetec engine. The 150 PS (110 kW) RS2000 also appeared in the autumn of 1991 with a 16v version of the Sierra's I4 2.0 L engine and also improved ride and handling meaning that this version of the Escort finally delivered on the road. Specifications, however, were also higher than before. The Escort was now available with items such as power steering, electric windows, central locking, electronic antilock brakes, and air conditioning. Some of these options were even available on some of the entry-level models.
