The Ford Sierra, launched in 1982, was a revolutionary car for its time. It marked a departure from the boxy, angular designs of the past, embracing a more aerodynamic and modern aesthetic. The 1989 model, a part of the second generation, continued this trend, showcasing refined styling and improved engineering. It offered a range of engine options, from the economical 1.3-liter to the powerful 2.9-liter V6, catering to diverse needs. The Sierra's interior was spacious and comfortable, offering a blend of practicality and luxury. It was one of the first mass-produced cars to feature a driver's airbag, emphasizing Ford's commitment to safety. The 1989 Sierra was also notable for its introduction of the 'Sapphire' high-performance version, boasting a 2.9-liter V6 with 16-valve technology, achieving a top speed of 140 mph.
This extensive overhaul of the Sierra aimed to address criticisms of the earlier model, specifically its handling and ride quality. By incorporating advanced suspension technology, including a revised front suspension and standard anti-lock brakes, the 1989 model delivered a significantly enhanced driving experience. The Sierra's versatility was heightened with the availability of various body styles, including a hatchback, saloon, and estate, providing options for different lifestyles. It was a highly successful model for Ford, competing fiercely in the European market against the likes of the Vauxhall Cavalier and the Opel Astra. Its combination of style, comfort, and performance made it a popular choice among families, professionals, and enthusiasts alike.
