In Argentina, the Sierra was offered as a five-door hatchback beginning in the summer of 1984.
A station wagon body style was added in September 1985.
The sporting XR4, with three-door bodywork arrived a couple of months after the original introduction.
The facelifted post-1987 model did not reach the Argentinian market, where the range continued with a Merkur XR4Ti-like grille until 1991 for XR4 and 1992 for five-door models, when it was replaced by the Volkswagen Santana-based Galaxy.
Argentinian Sierras can be distinguished by a more sculpted front bumper with an extra cooling inlet.

The 1.6L was offered in GL model only, while the LX, Ghia, Ghia S/SX and XR4 were available with a 2.3-litre inline-four with some differences in specs.
Both engines, as for the preceding Taunus TC3, were from the "Pinto" family.
The power ranged between 75 PS (55 kW) for the 1.6 and 120 PS (88 kW) for the XR4 and later Ghia S versions.
Some Ghia models also featured automatic transmission as an optional.
The station wagon was called the Sierra Rural.
Ford had previously used the name "Rural" for station wagons in Argentina, such as the Taunus, in a similar way to "Turnier" in Germany.

The GL model was the base model replaced by the LX with the same equipment.
The XR4 was eventually complemented by the five-door Ghia S/SX.
