![]() ![]() It was similar in size to best-selling European small family cars like the Ford Escort, but was priced similarly to smaller cars like the Ford Fiesta. It was launched in Europe in the spring of 1994 as the Kia Sephia in some markets and in others, including the United Kingdom, as the Kia Mentor. Kia licensed the engine design from Mazda, but manufactured it themselves. An update came in the 1995 model year when grille and tail lights were restyled and all US-market Sephias except California-market RS/LS models got upgraded to the new 1.8-liter DOHC four-cylinder BP engine as used in the Mazda Familia (BG). This was the first Kia to be exported to the US. In the United States, sales began in late 1993 for the 1994 model year. A total of 472,920 Sephias were sold over the life of the original Sephia. The Sephia proved quite successful, selling over 100,000 in its first full year in the home market (1993). The car was presented in September 1992 to replace the aging Capital, which was rapidly losing market share. Engines available were the B-series engines, with the 1.5-liter rated at 59 kilowatts (79 hp), the 1.6-liter 78-kilowatt (105 hp), and the 1.8-liter BP engine at 91-kilowatt (122 hp) from 1994.
