Ford Contour Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1997–2000) — First Generation Restyling
When choosing a restyled Ford Contour sedan, look beyond the engine badge. A test drive helps you judge whether its response suits your daily journeys and whether the engine and gearbox work smoothly together.
Ford Contour powertrain examples include the gasoline 2.0 MT, 2.0 AT and 2.5 AT, all with front-wheel drive. The manual lets you decide when to change gear, while the automatics reduce effort in traffic. The 2.5 AT combines a larger engine with the convenience of an automatic transmission.
