Ford Orion Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1983–1986) — First Generation
The first-generation Ford Orion offers a compact sedan layout with a separate boot for everyday luggage. Your choice of powertrain helps shape how it fits commuting and longer journeys.
Ford Orion engine choices include the gasoline 1.3 MT and diesel 1.6 MT, both with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. Gasoline engines generally offer smoother running for urban trips, while a diesel can appeal for fuel economy on longer journeys. Both examples let you select gears to suit hills and traffic.
