Exploring the Ford Granada Car
The Ford Granada was known as a large family car. It offered comfort and space for passengers. Over its production run, it had different body styles. These included saloons (sedans) and estate (station wagon) versions.
First Look: The First Generation Granada
The very first Ford Granada cars appeared in March 1972. You could buy them as a saloon or an estate car. Some of the simpler, less expensive models were actually called the Ford Consul. This helped people tell the different versions apart.
The Next Step: Second Generation Granada
A newer version, the second generation, came out in September 1977. Like the first, it was available as both a saloon and an estate. This generation got a fresh new look in 1981. This update helped keep the car modern and appealing.
A New Design: Third Generation Granada
The third generation of the car arrived in May 1985. This time, it first came out only as a hatchback model. In most of Europe, this car was called the Ford Scorpio. However, in the United Kingdom, it kept the name Ford Granada. The Scorpio name was used there for the more luxurious versions. Later, a saloon version was added in early 1990. An estate version followed in early 1992, giving buyers more choices.
