This rather special Kia Pride still has a five-speed manual transmission and a clutch pedal.
Kia turns 80 this year, so its UK division decided to give itself a nice little present. In collaboration with Electrogenic, Kia UK turned an old Pride hatchback into an electric vehicle. The battery-powered hatchback retains its retro looks and five-speed manual transmission but packs an electric punch. You have probably never heard of the Kia Pride. It was a rebadged Ford Festiva subcompact hatchback sold in the 1990s with a tiny gasoline engine, but it got the job done.
