Scorpio has appeared in April 1985. The only available body was 5-door hatchback. In fact, the basic body existed until 1995. Main features have not changed throughout this period. The variations affected engines, transmissions, electrical installation, and injection. However, those were just small-sized alterations.
In 1990, there was a facelift also, 4-door sedan was introduced, and 1992 brought restyling and wagon body introduced.

In 1995, Ford presented new model (picture n7) that had only a few common things with the previous one (some engines and rear axle hanging) and was issued until the end of 1998.
Scorpio has become unpopular and Ford has omitted his famous line (Granada-Scorpio) from the EuroFord program.
