Pride was Kia’s first front-wheel-drive, B-segment car—developed through collaboration with Mazda and Ford to meet global standards. In just ten years, over 1.2 million units were produced worldwide. It holds a special place in Koreans' hearts as the first “my car” for the baby boomer generation.
Pride was exported to the U.S., Japan, and Europe, becoming a true global mobility solution. It marked a major turning point in Kia’s expansion into international markets.
