The Ford Verona was a car sold in Brazil in the 1980s. It was a locally designed two-door sedan version of the European Ford Escort Mk 3½, intended to cater for Brazilian demand for two-door sedans. It also featured the very eficient CHT 1.6 engine. It was different to the Ford Orion.

In 1993 came a new generation, based on the Ford Escort Mk 4. This version was powered by the classic Volkswagen AP engine instead of the traditional CHT engine and the gearbox from the Volkswagen Jetta. There was also a successful four-door sedan version as well.

The Mk 3½-based version was also released by Volkswagen under the name Apollo, and later the Mk 4-based version was named Logus . Both featured VW's own interior design.
