The two-door 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 was introduced at the 1997 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It was based on the second-generation North American version of the Escort, first introduced in 1991 and substantially updated in 1997. The ZX2 had a completely unique exterior and interior design as opposed to its four-door siblings, although the entire model line shared the same wheelbase. It was equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, sixteen-valve Zetec engine. The car was intended to be a replacement for the Escort GT.
The Escort sedan was replaced in 2000 by the Focus; however a successor to the ZX2 was never planned. It remained in production after the sedan was phased out and renamed simply "ZX2." Production at Ford's Hermosillo, Mexico plant ended in 2003.
