Kia has
officially unveiled the updated Ray in South Korea. Looking instantly
recognizable, the facelifted model has a new front fascia with a revised
grille, circular fog lights, and restyled headlights with integrated LED
daytime running lights.
The Ray has also been equipped with a modified rear
bumper, updated taillights, and new 15-inch alloy wheels. A variety of
customization options will be available including contrasting colors for the
roof, grille, mirror caps, and tailgate appliqué.
The interior largely carries over but drivers will
find a new three-spoke steering wheel, a revised gear knob, and additional
metallic accents. The Ray also offers a seven-inch infotainment system as well
as an assortment of options such as mood lighting and color contrasting floor
mats.
Speaking of options, the Ray will be available with
a pet-friendly package that includes a removable cage, a rear seat cover, and a
"fence" that separates the first and second row. Customers can also
order a new "trendy" trim which adds faux leather seats with a heated
front row.
Kia declined to give detailed performance
specifications but the car can be ordered with an improved 1.0-liter petrol
engine that produces up to 78 PS.
Pricing starts at 13.15 million won (US$ 12,098)
while a van variant will also be available for as little as 12.1 million won (US$
11,132).
