Lacquer Peel Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Cars with a number of sheet metal changes can be ruled out, like the Antara and Captiva above. I think earlier versions were more similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, a thousand times no! The 3-door Kia Pride was basically a licence-built Mazda 121. It was built in Korea for Ford and supplied to US and Australia as the Ford Festiva. Kia developed other body styles - 5-door, 4-door, estate etc. These were never made as Mazda or Ford cars. Later, the Pride was built by SAIPA in Iran (still is) - and the versions there included a pick-up as well as hatch, saloon etc. The SAO Penza was a UK invention devised as a stop-gap for Kia dealers before the Mentor (Sephia) was ready. It was a South African Mazda 323, rebadged in the UK and only sold in the UK. It has nothing to do with the Pride, and the Pride is unrelated to the 323.
