| |  The Ford Orion was a four-door saloon automobile model introduced by Ford's European division on July 22, 1983.
At that time, Ford's model lineup and image was changing. The company's older saloon lineup was replaced mainly by hatchbacks, from the Ford Escort to the Granada and the then new Sierra replacing the Ford Cortina. The Orion was designed to fill the market demand for a traditional four-door saloon, left by the demise of the Cortina. The Orion looked similar to a contemporary Escort at the front, but rear of the body was totally different; the Orion had a long flat boot (three-box saloon design) rather than a hatchback or estate body like the Escort. Despite appearances, the Orion was larger than the Escort, being almost the same size as a Ford Sierra.
