==1.6== The [[Naturally aspirated engine|naturally aspirated]] (NA) 1.6 L CVH debuted in the 1980 European Escort and the 1981 North American Escort. Bore and stroke are {{cvt|80x79.5|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} and total displacement is {{cvt|1597|cc|cuin|1}}. ==={{anchor|1.6EU}} European NA 1.6=== European versions produced {{cvt|79|hp-metric|kW|0|abbr=on}} with the Ford variable venturi carburetor, {{cvt|96|hp-metric|kW|0}} with the twin venturi 32/34 DFT Weber carburetor used in the Fiesta XR2 and the Escort XR3, {{cvt|105|hp-metric|kW|0}} with [[Robert Bosch GmbH|Bosch]] [[Jetronic#K-Jetronic (1973β1994)|K-Jetronic]] injection, {{cvt|90|hp-metric|kW|0}} with [[Jetronic#KE-Jetronic (1985β1993)|KE-Jetronic]] [[Manifold injection#Mechanical controlling|mechanical fuel injection]], and {{cvt|108|hp-metric|kW|0}} with [[Manifold injection#Electronic control unit|electronic fuel injection]] (EFI) and a [[Ford EEC#EEC-IV|Ford EEC-IV]] [[engine control unit]] (ECU) as found in the XR3i or Orion GLSI. A {{cvt|115|hp-metric|kW|0}} version was offered in the Escort RS1600i, developed by Ford Motorsport Germany for [[FΓ©dΓ©ration Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] Group A [[Homologation (motorsport)|homologation]]. This version featured a reworked cylinder head, solid cam followers and bronze bearings, and a host of other motorsport features. European versions of the carbureted 1.6 L engine from the 1986 model year on were revised and, like the new 1.4 L, benefit from cylinder heads with a heart-shaped lean-burn combustion chambers and a slightly raised piston crown. The carburetor is a Weber twin venturi 28/32 TLDM unit. Power output is improved to {{cvt|90|PS|kW hp|0}} with the benefit of improved torque and fuel economy. EFI versions used in the Escort XR3i, 1.6i and Fiesta XR2i retained hemispherical combustion chambers. From the 1989 model year all EFI variants are fitted with the Ford EEC-IV ECU.

Chery replaced the CVH with their own [[Chery ACTECO engine|ACTECO engines]]. Applications: * 1999β2006 [[Chery A11]] ===North American NA 1.6=== Standard 1.6 L output started at {{cvt|65|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|85|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}}. The early North American engines are built with cast pistons and connecting rods, a low-flow version of the CVH head, flat hydraulic lifters, a 0.229" lift camshaft, 32/32 Weber-licensed carburetor, cast exhaust manifold, and low-dome pistons. Over the years compression ratios ranged from 8.5:1β9.0:1, while power started at {{cvt|65|hp|kW|0}} in 1981, rising to {{cvt|74|hp|kW|0}} by 1985. A 1.6 L High Output (HO) motor became available in late 1982 through 1985. Changes to it included a 4-2-1 header, higher-lift (0.240") camshaft, a 32/34 Weber carburetor, a dual-snorkel air-box, and high-dome pistons making 9.0:1β9.5:1 compression making {{cvt|74|hp|kW|1}} in 1982 and {{cvt|80|hp|kW|1}} in 1983β1985. A 1.6 L EFI motor became an option in 1983 through 1985. It had all the features of the HO (Higher Output) motor but had a totally different intake system to allow for multi-point EFI running on Ford's EEC-IV ECU. The 1.6 EFI shares the same head as the carbureted 1.6 found in North America but without a mechanical fuel pump. The 1.6 EFI engine was replaced by the 1.6 HO in all high-altitude regions, making the 1.6 EFI a rare model.
