Ford Laser 1990 Review

Ford Motor Company is an American multinational vehicle manufacturer located in Dearborn, Michigan incorporated by Henry Ford in 1903. This was his third attempt at founding a vehicle dealership. Ford could only make a few cars each day at the time. Today, Ford owns 32% of China’s Jiangling Motors.Under the Ford brand, selling automobiles and commercial vehicles. So far, Ford joint ventures include Changan Ford in China, Ford Lio Ho in Taiwan, and Ford Otosan in Turkey. Here’s CarsGuide’s review of the Ford Laser, manufactured in 1990.

Exterior Design

The front windshield is equipped with two wipers and two windshield washers. There are no fog lights on this car. A basic grill is available with the Ford emblem seen in the center.

We can see an antenna on the roof from the side. Body-colored door handles and side mirrors have been provided, with the total length of 3990 mm.

With the addition of a body-colored spoiler to the back of the Laser, you may observe a slight sporty appearance. Wipers have not been provided for the windshield. The original design is seen through the taillight. On one side of the taillight, there is a laser logo. A single exhaust pipe can also be observed.

In terms of ground clearance, the Laser has been granted a 150 mm clearance. However, because the Ford Laser is a sedan, it should have an average ground clearance of 165 mm.

When it comes to the boot, there is generally plenty of room. In comparison to other cars of same size, the manufacturers have provided quite a large space for the Laser.

Interior Design

Fabric seats are provided for the driver’s cabin, and have been built in a way that offers a basic level of comfort. There is plenty of leg and headroom. In the passenger compartment, there is a standard-sized glove box. Door bins with ample room have been provided. The doors have also been outfitted with speakers. We may also see a simple design for the meter panel.

The passenger cabin has also been outfitted with fabric seats. Although it has three seats, the center passenger may be uncomfortable due to the hump in the middle of the floor. However, two passengers can travel comfortably. Legroom is insufficient. Also, the headroom is inadequate for a tall individual. Two seat-back-pockets are also included. There are no door bins on the passenger cabin doors.

Performance

A 1300cc engine powers the laser. This engine generates 80 horsepower and 123 Newton-meters of torque.

The 1300cc engine is coupled to a five-speed manual transmission. In addition, we regard this Laser as a four-wheel drive car.

The Laser accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds. It has a fuel consumption of 11 kilometers per liter. The fuel tank holds 55 gallons. So, based on this capacity, you may drive 605 kilometers.

Ride Quality

When it comes to the ride of the Laser, it has a turning radius of 4.8 m. A vehicle’s turning radius is the amount of space necessary to make a semi-circular U-turn without skidding. This indicates that as a vehicle’s turning radius shrinks, we can turn it in less space.

The sounds from outside can be heard inside the cabin. However, we may typically gain valuable driving experience.

Safety & Technology

Let us now discuss the laser’s safety as specified by the manufacturers. Airbags have been included to protect the driver and passengers inside collisions as well as head-on collisions.

ABS is a safety device that has been installed on all four wheels of the Ford Laser. The ABS prevents the wheels from locking when sudden braking is applied.

As a result, you have control over the vehicle and damage to the brake pads is decreased. Aside from that, the Laser’s safety features include things like stability control, traction control, and EBD. Based on these data, the Laser obtained a three-star safety rating.
