Those who remember the Ford Escort name from the mid-20th century may be surprised to see the brand reappear in the modern era, but this modern Ford is a significantly different car to the Escorts of old.

Primarily designed for the Chinese market, the modern Escort is based on the second generation Focus platform and has essentially replaced that car in the UAE.

All versions of the Ford Escort are fitted with an economical 1.5L engine delivering 120hp.

The level of equipment fitted is fairly basic across the range which keeps the price point competitive, but buyers will find a good level of comfort in the top Titanium spec model.
