👉 Ford Orion
➡️Design and Features:
- Based on the Ford Escort but with a separate boot, making it a four-door saloon.
- Notable for its notchback rear end and greater rear overhang compared to the Escort.
- Offered more rear legroom and a larger boot than the contemporary Ford Sierra.
➡️Market Demand:
- Developed to fill the gap left by the absence of a traditional four-door saloon in the Escort range.
- Conceptually similar to the Volkswagen Jetta.
➡️Production and Sales:
- Over 3.5 million units were sold during its ten-year production life.
- The Orion bridged the gap between hatchbacks and traditional saloons.
The Ford Orion remains an interesting piece of automotive history. 🚗🔍
