A new Ghia X model was introduced around 1996, which included air conditioning and a 6 CD autochanger as standard. Although the equipment of the Ghia below it was reduced, it was now more affordable.
Dynamically, the handling and ride were also much improved with revised suspension set up from that on the previous Mark V models. The sporty "Si" model had slightly stiffer suspension than the Encore, LX and Ghia variants, although the Si was otherwise the same as the LX with some additional standard, mainly cosmetic, enhancements such as front and rear spoilers (which were also available as options on the LX), sports seats and white-faced dashboard instruments.
[46] Other theories being that the Escort was originally meant to be called the "Ford Erika",[47] but ended up retaining the Escort name. Some say this was due to British consumers' reluctance to let go of the "Escort" badge (as the first two generations of Escort had been among Britain's most popular cars, with the Mk II being Britain's best selling car in 1976), and some say that the Germans were concerned with the song Erika, which was a famous battlemarch of the German armed forces during World War II.[48] Sporting models[edit]

In September 1993, after a decade of use, the Orion name was retired and the saloon took on the Escort badge. The XR3i was discontinued several months later, at the beginning of 1994.
I was one of the first International Escorts with my own website; mind you I was one of the first escorts with their own website anywhere lol YES I am old ha When I opened Atlantic Companions in 2002 I think we were the 6 or 7th High-Class Escort Agency on-line in London (now there are 1000s) and we were the first International Escort Agency to do Escort tours.
I get asked A LOT about being black in Asia. Now, I’m not going to pretend that looks/ethnicity don’t affect marketability but my humble advice is: if you emphasize your race, you’ll get clients who like you because you’re black.

Unusual fitments for the range not offered elsewhere on the Australian Escort included 'dog-dish' steel hubcaps, and high-backed front seats.
Stung by the criticism of the original Mark V (which was still a decent seller despite motoring press criticism of its styling, ride and handling), Ford facelifted the Escort and Orion in September 1992, giving the revised cars a new grille, bonnet and, in the Escort convertible and hatchback's case, a new rear end.
It was Ford Europe's third front-wheel drive model launch, the second being the smaller Fiesta in 1976, and the first being the 1962 German Taunus 12M (P4). The car used Ford's contemporary design language of the period with the black louvred radiator grille and straked rear lamp clusters, as well as introducing the aerodynamic "bustle-back" bootlid stump (trademarked by Ford as Aeroback) which would be further developed in the forthcoming Sierra and Scorpio; the stump was proven to reduce the car's aerodynamic drag co-efficient significantly, which was a class-leading 0.38 at launch.
