The MK 3 Cortina was inspired by the contemporary "coke bottle" design. It replaced both the MK 2 Cortina and the larger. more expensive Ford Corsair offering more trim levels and the option of larger engines than the MK 2 Cortina. The Mac Pherson strut front suspension was replaced with more conventional double A-arm suspension (Also known as double wishbone suspension) which gave the MK 3 a much softer ride on the road' but did give the larger engines distinct understeer. Trim levels for the MK 3 Cortina were Base. L (for Luxury). XL (Xtra Luxury). GT (Grand Touring) and GXL (Grand Xtra Luxury).

The early MK 3 Cortinas came with the same 1300 and the 1600 cc engines as the MK 2 Cortinas. except for the 1600 CC GXL)these engines are known as the Kent. crossflow engine or over head valve (OHV) engine. There was also the introduction of the 2000 cc engine. the single overhead cam engine. now known as the pinto engine. SOHC. The OHV Kent unit was fitted with a single choke carburetor and was used for the early models up to GT trim. the SOHC twin choke carburetor Pinto unit was used for the GT and GXL models. The GXL was also offered in 1600 in the later Cortina MK 3 s.
