Kia Ray was originally launched in 2011 and received a facelift in 2017. Fast forward to today, it's getting another update without switching to the second generation. The 2023 Ray is shown in only a few images without any technical specifications as the full reveal will take place in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the pint-sized hatchback shows its redesigned front grille still being labeled as a "tiger nose" while carrying the updated corporate badge. The biggest change on the outside is represented by the all-new headlights as they're now more upright and likely host the fog lights since they're not in the updated bumper anymore.
Being only a facelift rather than a next-gen car, the Ray has the same side profile as before, save for those swanky new alloy wheels. The back has gone through some notable changes since the taillights have been completely changed and they're now interlinked with glossy black trim pieces extending across the tailgate.
The interior hasn't been subjected to any major changes and you can easily tell the car has been around for a while. The only important modification has been made to the instrument cluster as it now features a 4.2-inch color display. Its dashboard looks far less modern than the newest crop of Kias, but that shouldn't be much of an issue since the Ray has always been about affordable motoring.
Kia has yet to reveal any technical information on the Ray EV. Previously, the EV only had a 100 km range and low charging rates. According to a previous report, the facelift is expected to have more than double the range from the pre-facelift and even faster charging times.
