About this generation
For 1987, the Tempo received a facelift that updated its exterior styling and kept the model in Ford’s U.S. compact lineup. This revised phase continued the same basic Tempo architecture through 1991. All-wheel drive was also available during this broader lifecycle, though not on every body style or trim.
