Ford Laser/Ford Liata (BH/KJ). 1994–8 (prod. unknown). 4- and 5-door sedan, 3-door coupé. F/F, 1324 cm³ petrol, 1686 cm³ diesel (4 cyl. OHC), 1489, 1597, 1840 cm³ (4 cyl. DOHC). Laser grew in size as with equivalent Mazda Familia (BH), with three-door on shorter wheelbase. More sheetmetal differences this time: three-door had round headlights, not unlike contemporary Ford Taurus Mk III; Australian designers penned smart five-door sedan with some resemblance to Ghia Saguaro concept at rear. Three-door dubbed Laser Lynx in some markets; five-door dubbed Laser Liata in Australia. No Laser tag on Taiwanese models; cars were simply Ford Liata. Not built in Australia this time. Competent and dull as buyers expected from Laser, but less popular in Australia as Korean imports made inroads.
