The first generation, the WA, was designed by Mazda at Ford's request and launched in Japan in February 1986, with Kia building the car in South Korea from 1987 and exporting it to the United States as the Festiva from 1988. Mazda sold it in Australia and Europe as the 121. A 1.3 litre four cylinder drove the front wheels. Its model years run from 1986 to 1992. The Festiva was a small Mazda designed hatchback that Ford sold in several markets, some of them under other names.
