In 1987, the Sierra underwent a significant facelift, giving it an even sleeker and more modern appearance. Ford also added a new variant to the Sierra range: the sedan. From that time on, the base trim was called the C, and the L became the CL. In the course of 1988, a special model named Special was introduced. Also in 1988, the existing 2-liter engine was replaced by a new 2-liter twin-cam petrol engine producing 120 hp. A Cosworth version was also introduced, this time in a sedan configuration.

In 1990, several changes were made to the facelift model, including a more modern dashboard, clear glass turn signals, and smoked glass taillight units. The reliable, yet very outdated, 2.3 diesel engine was replaced by a 1.8 Turbodiesel with 75 hp. A new version was also introduced: the Sierra Azur.

From 1991, the Sierra was available with body-colored bumpers. A new version was also introduced, called the Solar. Alongside the Solar, a sporty-looking variant was launched, namely the GT. This was only available with a 2-liter fuel-injected engine.
In 1993, Ford introduced the successor to the Sierra: the Ford Mondeo. In total, approximately 2,7 million Sierras were built. Despite the Mondeo taking the Sierra's place, the Sierra remained a very popular used car for a long time. Today, small numbers of Sierras can still be seen on the road, primarily models from 1990 onwards. The first-generation Sierra is now becoming rare.
