The Ford Granada, a mid-size car produced by Ford Motor Company, had a long and successful run, spanning from 1972 to 1983 in the United States. The 1986 model year, however, marks a distinct shift in the Granada's identity. This particular year witnessed the introduction of the "Granada" nameplate to the European market, replacing the existing Ford Consul model. Though sharing the same name, this European Granada was a completely different vehicle from its American counterpart. It was a four-door saloon built on a platform shared with the Ford Sierra and was offered in a variety of trim levels, including the sporty Ghia and the luxurious Royale. Under the hood, the European Granada boasted a range of petrol engines, including the classic 1.6L and 2.0L units, and the more powerful 2.3L and 2.8L V6 options. Diesel engines were also available, offering fuel efficiency and torque. The car was praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and relatively good handling. It was a popular choice for families and individuals alike, particularly in the UK where it was marketed as a refined and sophisticated alternative to more sporty offerings. The 1986 Ford Granada was a testament to Ford's commitment to producing high-quality, well-rounded cars that met the needs of a diverse market, solidifying its position as a major player in the European automotive landscape.
