Several trim levels had been supplied, including higher-outfitted Sport versions with the more highly effective engine and agency suspension. The final was commonplace for a brand new three-door GT mannequin, which also got here with 5-speed, agency suspension, and black exterior trim. By 1987, Escort's plethora of alphabet sequence had been sifted all the way down to a stark three-door referred to as Pony, quantity-promoting GL (all three body kinds), and three-door GT. Quite a few refinements marked Escort's evolution by 1990. There have been at all times three-door hatchbacks and 4-door wagons, plus hatchback sedans after 1981. All rode a 94.2-inch wheelbase and employed transverse-mounted four-cylinder engines -- a new "CVH" single-overhead-cam design with hemispherical combustion chambers -- initially teamed with four-velocity overdrive handbook or three-speed computerized transaxles. An non-obligatory five-pace guide got here alongside for 1983. All-coil four-wheel unbiased suspension persisted all through, with MacPherson struts and lower control arms fore, modified struts on trailing arms and lower management arms aft. The standard manual transaxle shifted from a four- to 5-speed after '84, with a three-speed computerized elective all years. Engines had been the identical as Fairmont's: customary 2.3-liter 4, non-obligatory 200-cid six, and "gasoline disaster" 255 V-eight (the last eliminated after '81). The latter was newly commonplace for GT, which gained its personal asymmetric body-shade grille, aluminum wheels, bigger tires, rear spoiler, and rocker panel "skirts." All Escorts have been mildly facelifted with smoother noses in the "aero" idiom pioneered by the '83 Thunderbird, marked by flush headlamps.
