The Ford Sierra, a revolutionary car for its time, was launched in 1982, with 1983 marking the start of its full production run. This model marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the Ford Cortina, with its aerodynamically advanced design and a focus on passenger comfort and spaciousness. The Sierra's distinctive fastback design, inspired by the Ford Probe concept car, was a bold statement that set it apart from the competition. It featured a spacious, modern interior, with a dashboard that housed a comprehensive array of instruments and controls. The Sierra was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, offering different performance levels and fuel economy options. It was initially offered in various trim levels, ranging from the basic L to the luxurious Ghia, each with its own set of features and specifications. The Ford Sierra was a technological marvel for its time, offering innovative features such as fuel-injected engines, power steering, and optional anti-lock brakes. It also introduced a new level of safety to the compact car segment, featuring a rigid passenger cabin and crumple zones designed to absorb impact energy. The Sierra's introduction marked a watershed moment in the development of the compact car market. It challenged conventional design norms and offered a blend of comfort, performance, and safety that was highly appreciated by consumers. The Sierra's success was further amplified by its diverse range of body styles, including the 3-door hatchback, 5-door hatchback, 4-door saloon, and the performance-oriented XR4i, capturing a wide spectrum of buyers and cementing its position as a true icon of the 1980s.
