Year to Year Changes
1992 Ford Escort/ZX2:
Escort added two 4-door notchback sedans, a regular LX plus an LX-E with the GT's engine. The LX-E had GT-style seat/door trim, 4-wheel disc brakes, and a sport suspension.
1993 Ford Escort/ZX2:
Escorts went on sale early this season, showing only minor styling revisions. All except the GT got a slightly restyled grille. The LX gained body color bumpers; GTs, new wheels and spoilers.
1994 Ford Escort/ZX2:
Antilock braking became available on the GT, and all models added a driver-side airbag. Front passengers stuck with the motorized seatbelt.
1995 Ford Escort/ZX2:
Dual airbags were installed, but Escorts retained motorized seatbelts anyway. A new instrument panel held revised climate controls, and the optional air conditioner was more powerful. An integrated child safety seat became available.
1996 Ford Escort/ZX2:
Seatbelts added an automatic locking retractor that eliminated the need for locking clips with a conventional child seat. A redesigned Escort went on sale in late May as an early 1997 model.
