When was the Ford Lynx introduced in the Philippines?
The Ford Lynx was an important vehicle for Ford Group Philippines when it was unveiled in September 1999. The Lynx (they’ve decided to ditch the Laser badge to avoid associations with the 80s wonder) is exported to our South East Asian neighbors and the practice continued until 2005.
What kind of engine does the Ford Lynx have?
You’ll be shocked when I say this to you, both 1.3 and 1.6 engines standard in the Lynx are supplied by Mazda. This is not a typo, both of these engines also powered the Mazda Familia sold during the 90s. From launch, the only option is a 1,597cc ZM-DE that has 118hp at 5,500rpm and 148Nm at 4,000rpm.
When did the Ford Lynx get the axe?
It got the axe in the middle of 2005 in favor of the Focus that was sold worldwide. From introduction to early 2002, GSi and Ghia variants paired with a Mazda sourced engine were the only choices; an update in 2002 had the LSi 1.3 version and the RS trim (which will be reviewed separately) completed the Lynx line-up in late 2003.
What kind of rims do Ford Lynx have?
MAF Sensors are sensitive, especially if the previous owner placed after market air filters or gas saving devices. Describing the Lynx can be either stately looking or executed in a tacky fashion. Pre-2002 models do have 15 inch silver coated rims that can look ugly if it has scratches.
When did the Ford Lynx Ghia come out?
Whatever the reason, the Ford Lynx, after making a big splash in September 1999, soon became close to extinct in the 1.6-liter segment. Despite combining the sporty attributes of the Honda Civic and a bit of luxury and class that became the trademark of the Nissan Exalta, it didn’t quite threaten the leaders in its class.
