How long is a Ford Escort in feet?

In feet, a Ford Escort's length varies by model year and market, but most versions are roughly 13 to 15 feet long.


That range covers early European hatchbacks, late-1980s US models, and late-1990s Escorts before the name faded from many markets. The exact length depends on generation, whether it's a hatchback or sedan, and trims, so for a precise figure you should consult the specific model-year specifications.


The following entries summarize typical lengths by major Escort generations you’ll encounter in specs. Note that exact numbers can vary by configuration.



  • 1968–1975 European Mk I Escort — approximately 13.0–13.4 feet (158–162 inches)

  • 1974–1980 European Mk II Escort — approximately 13.4–13.8 feet (161–166 inches)

  • 1980s U.S. market Escort (early generations) — approximately 14.0–14.8 feet (169–178 inches)

  • Late-1980s to mid-1990s Escorts (US/European variants) — approximately 14.4–14.8 feet (173–179 inches)

  • Late-1990s U.S. Escorts (final generations) — approximately 14.7–15.0 feet (176–180 inches)


Concluding note: If you need an exact measurement for a specific car, check the owner's manual or the official Ford specification sheet for that model year, or measure from bumper to bumper with the car on level ground.
