October 1987 brought the KE facelift, with new grilles, headlights, tail lights, bonnet and front guards, and the Meteor name was dropped so sedans and wagons were also badged Laser. The TX3 could now be ordered with a turbo and all wheel drive, the latter imported from Japan. Buyers in Australia and New Zealand often did not realise the Ford was based on the Mazda 323. The Laser was a Ford badged version of the Mazda Familia, and it was one of the smaller cars in the Ford range of that period.
