Ford Contour Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1994–1997) — First Generation
The first-generation Ford Contour is a sedan suited to daily commuting and longer trips. If you’re buying one today, maintenance history and mechanical condition deserve as much attention as the version you choose.
Ford Contour engine choices include four-cylinder and V6 gasoline units, with the V6 offering stronger acceleration and the four-cylinder generally favouring fuel economy. Manual and automatic transmissions were available, depending on the version: a manual gives you more control over gear selection, while an automatic eases driving in stop-start traffic.
