The CVH was enlarged to 1.9&nbsp;L for the 1986 model year North American Escort. Bore and stroke are {{cvt|82x88|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}. This stroke length was later used in the 2.0&nbsp;L CVH engine, and again in the ''[[Ford Zeta engine|Zeta]]'' engine which replaced it. The long stroke necessitated a raised engine block deck, a design also shared with later units. All 1.9s from 1989 on are equipped with a roller camshaft and roller lifters. The camshaft and water pump are driven by the timing belt. This engine is a [[Non-interference engine|non-interference]] design. Output is {{cvt|86|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|100|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} with a carburetor. In models with electronic [[Manifold injection#Single-point injection|single-point fuel injection]] (or throttle-body injection, called Central Fuel Injection (CFI) by Ford), an additional {{cvt|4|hp|kW|abbr=on}} is produced, while torque is little changed.

Multi-point fuel injection and hemispherical combustion chambers are features of the 1986 Escort GT's EFI HO engine, raising output to {{cvt|108|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|114|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}}.

The {{cvt|90|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} 1.9&nbsp;L CFI engine of the late 1980s, particularly when equipped with either the four- or five-speed manual [[transaxle]], was noted for delivering outstanding fuel economy. The four-speed Escort Pony models achieved better mileage than five-speed cars, with upwards of {{cvt|30|mpgus|abbr=on}} in city driving and {{cvt|40–45|mpgus|abbr=on}} on the highway not being uncommon.

The second generation American Escort received [[Manifold injection#Sequential injection|sequential electronic fuel injection]] (SEFI) for 1991–1996 (sharing the same head as the 1.9 CFI), but power and torque are little changed at {{cvt|88|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|108|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} respectively.
