The Kia Pride is an automobile (of the size defined as a supermini or subcompact car) produced by South Korean manufacturer Kia Motors from March 1987 to 2000. It was a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva (introduced in Japan the previous year), which also sold in some markets as the Mazda 121. The Pride was replaced in 2001 by the Rio, which retains the Kia Pride name in South Korea. The Pride was sold in four-door saloon form (in LX, GTX, and β trim levels), as well as three- and five-door hatchback forms (the CD-5) and five-door estate body styles. Originally powered by 1.1 or 1.3 litre carburettedpetrol engines, the 1.1 unit was dropped in 1995 and the other received fuel injection in order to meet European Union emissions requirements. Production continued until the summer of 2000 when Kia launched the larger Rio. SAIPA built the Kia Pride in Iran under license using up to 85% local parts content. The Saipa Pride remained in production from 2001 to 2005. SAIPA then began production of a new model based on the Pride called the Saipa 141 (a five-door hatchback) while continuing to sell the Iranian version of the Pride under the names Saipa Saba (four-door saloon) and Saipa Nasim (five-door hatchback). A pick-up model of this car was projected from 2008 called Saipa Pick-Up. In Iran Prides continue to be the most common car with two out of five cars a Pride. When Kia began importing cars to Europe in early 1991, the Pride was the only model to be sold in the region — until the arrival of the larger Mentor three years later.
