The "Meteor" name was dropped from the sedan and wagon body styles, meaning they were now badged as "Laser", like the hatchback variants. There were a number of notable changes with the introduction of the KE. In October 1987, Ford introduced a facelift of the KC series, the KE. Fuel injection was optional on Ghia (standard on wagon) & TX3. The 1.6-litre engine was standard on GL, Ghia & TX3. The 1.3-litre engine was standard on the "L" (hatch-only – the wagon had a 1.6-litre engine). Buyers who ordered automatic transmission with this engine received an electronically-controlled 4-speed unit, which was quite advanced for a small car in 1985. For the first time, Electronic Fuel Injection, was available as an option on Ghia and TX3 models.

The 1.5-litre engine that was optional on GL, and standard on Ghia in the KB series was replaced with a new 1.6-litre unit. A notable change was the introduction of engines capable of running on 91RON Unleaded petrol (this became mandatory in Australia from 1986). The "L" & "GL" models were no longer available as a three-door.
Unlike the Sport, the TX3 was only available as a three-door. A new "TX3" variant, which was half-way between "GL" & "Ghia" in specification level, replaced the "Sport" variant from the KB series. All body styles were carried over, with the addition of a station wagon (badged as "Meteor", like the sedan) from 1986. The 1985 KC Laser/GC Meteor was the model's first major redesign.

However, pooling resources with Mazda allowed Ford to maintain a foothold in the region. In Australia and New Zealand where Ford was seen as a 'local' brand, 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. (Ford had acquired a 25% stake in Mazda in 1979.)
