Competition with Mazda 323

The Ford Laser was, in fact, a restyled version of the 323 models produced by Mazda in Japan from 1980 onwards. (Ford had acquired a 25% stake in Mazda in 1979.)

Many buyers in Australia and New Zealand were totally unaware that the Laser was Japanese at all, with Ford being seen as a 'local' brand. In those markets, the Laser outsold its Mazda twin, but in neighbouring Asian countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, as well as Japan itself, the reverse was the case. However, pooling resources with Mazda allowed Ford to maintain a foothold in the region. This was also the case in South America, Africa, and the Caribbean, where the Laser was also sold, in many cases being locally assembled.

Australia

The Laser replaced the rear-wheel-drive Escort in Australasia in 1981, proving hugely popular as a hatchback, as well as a sedan (initially known as the Meteor), and providing a worthy rival to Japanese models like the Toyota Corolla; the Meteor nameplate died in Australia when the KE sedan was launched in 1987, but survived in South Africa until 1995.

New Zealand

In New Zealand, local assembly of the Laser continued under a joint venture between Ford New Zealand and Mazda, called Vehicle Assemblers of New Zealand (VANZ). Based in Wiri, Auckland, the VANZ plant also assembled the Mazda 323, until it closed in 1997.

Southern Africa

The Laser was first introduced in Zimbabwe in 1981, but was not introduced in South Africa until 1986, when it replaced the European-sourced Escort. At this time, Ford in South Africa had established a joint venture with Anglo American Corporation, which assembled Mazdas, known as Samcor, before it finally divested from the country in 1988. However, this badge engineering of the Mazda 323 as the Ford Laser and Meteor, proved less popular in South Africa than it did in Australia and New Zealand.

A pick-up version called the Ford Bantam, unique to South Africa, was also sold, before it was replaced by a version of the Ford Fiesta.

A limited production run 2.0iRS model using a 2.0 16V DOHC "Mazda 626 FE" engine was also produced in the early 90's yielding 109 kW.

North America

In 1987, a version of the Laser built in Mexico was exported to the USA, where it was known as the Mercury Tracer. In Canada, Ford opted to import Mercury Tracer from Taiwan instead. The Laser was the basis of later Escort models sold in North America, which is not to be confused with the model of the same name sold in Europe. In 1991, the American Ford Escort was replaced by a version of the Laser/323, although the Escort name was retained. The Escort Wagon seen in North America during that generation was unique to that continent and was not part of the Laser ranges elsewhere. Image File history File linksMetadata Cars_008. ...

Replacements

The Laser has now been replaced in most markets around the world by the European-sourced Focus, designated as one of Ford's 'world cars'.
