Body shells for the Mk2 were built at Ford’s Halewood plant in England, and the model was also assembled in South Africa. This international production helped the Escort reach a wide audience across continents.

Enthusiasts could equip the Mk2 with the Zakspeed X‑Pack body kit, which featured a flat front, wing arches, a front spoiler, and rear inner arches. The kit highlighted the model’s popularity in the tuning community.
