Summary[edit]

Description

The Kia Pride Hybrid (and its twin, the Hyundai Verna Hybrid) was the first South Korean electric hybrid automobile. It was offered strictly for fleet sales and only in the South Korean domestic market.

This example belongs to Jongno Fire Department in downtown Seoul.

In North America, this particular model was marketed as the second-generation Rio. However, for the Korean domestic market, even though it was a Rio replacement, it revived an old name, Pride, which had previously been used on Kia's small Mazda-designed hatchback built between 1987 and 2000. The original Kia Pride was also known as the Mazda 121 or the Ford Festiva in various markets, and was a rare early Korean car that was highly regarded for its quality.

Hyundai-Kia's second hybrid effort was the Hyundai Avante/Elantra and the Kia Forte, which combined an LPG engine with an electric motor, and available to retail customers within South Korea but not available for export. The third effort, the Hyundai Sonata and the Kia K5/Optima, was the first Hyundai-Kia hybrid to be exported.

The vehicle in the back is the Ssangyong Musso SUT.
