Its manufacture began in 1982 in Genk (Limburg, Belgium) immediately extending to Germany and the United Kingdom. The Sierra was positioned above the Ford Escort and below the Ford Scorpio, replacing the Taunus. There are several engines for gasoline and diesel, starting from 1.3 L and 60 hp through some other four-cylinder inline and V6, to its largest engine that yielded 224 hp and was a 2000 cc, 4-cylinder and turbo Garrett engine created by Cosworth.
