A More Conventional Design Loved by Fleets

The fourth‑generation Cortina adopted a more conventional design compared with its predecessor. This styling shift was largely appreciated by fleet buyers, who favored its straightforward appearance.

Engine Line‑up Started Modestly

When the Mk4 arrived, its engine range began with an under‑powered 1.3‑litre unit delivering 47 kW and a 1.6‑litre engine producing 63 kW. These powerplants set the baseline for the model’s performance.
