Powertrain options will be announced closer to launch.



Taking its name from the English word meaning "a beam of radiant energy or light", Ray features a simple, modern silhouette and distinctive exterior, plus maximised interior space for both passengers and cargo.



From the front, Ray combines Kia’s signature radiator grille with unique headlamps and LED daytime running lights.



Ray’s sliding passenger side rear door is designed for easier passenger entry and exit in tight parking spaces; it also provides for a wide, unobstructed side opening for maximum cargo utility.



The new model comes with prominent LED rear combination lamps and vertically positioned bumper reflectors.
