STORY

The Enterprise was Kia's top sedan in South Korea from its introduction in 1997. It was a rear-wheel-drive car with V6 engines from 2,494 to 3,605 cc, and a rebadged Mazda Sentia (HE) rather than an in-house design. By February 2003 more than 22,000 had been sold, against about 100,000 of the Potentia, Kia's top sedan since 1992. Production is listed as 1997 to 2002, and the Opirus, which debuted at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, took over the flagship role in the Korean market.
