The Kia Ray is a city car manufactured by Kia exclusively for the Korean domestic market.

The initial roll out was a limited production of 2,500 units destined for the South Korean government fleets, scheduled to be deployed in 2012. The Kia Ray EV was a predecessor to an all-electric crossover SUV that, as of 2011, Kia had planned to launch globally in 2014.[1] In May 2013 a fleet of 184 Kia Ray EVs were deployed in Seoul as part of a carsharing service called “Electric Vehicle Sharing” at a rate of US$5 per hour. The service had 15,000 registered customers by May 2013.[2][needs update]

The Ray has a unique door layout; the passenger side of the vehicle has a sliding door for the rear seats, while the driver’s side has a swing-out door.[3] The car has a kei car-inspired boxy dimensions. The Ray’s interior benefits from the square shape, as it has more space than most cars its size; however, it is only able to seat four people.

The Ray EV is the Kia’s first production battery electric vehicle. It is powered by a 50 kW (67 hp) electric motor, with a 16.4 kWh lithium ion battery that allows an all-electric range of 138 km (86 mi) depending on driving conditions.[4][needs update]

The Ray is also available in non-EV types equipped with gasoline and bi-fuel with a gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) combination.[citation needed] Both engines are available in four trims – Deluxe, Special, Luxury and Prestige. Only available in the local Korea domestic market, both engines produce similar power and outputs. The gasoline engine generates 78 PS (57 kW; 77 hp) at 6,400 rpm and 9.6 kg.m/3,500 rpm. Both engines have displacements of 998 cc, generating fuel economies of 17 km/l for gasoline, and bi-fuel delivering 16.6 km/l on gasoline mode and 13.2 km/l on LPG mode. Gasoline engine models weigh in at 998 kg (2,200 lb) with bi-fuel models weighing in at 1,042 kg (2,297 lb). Both are equipped with a 4 speed automatic transmission, and are currently sold in the Republic of Korea.[citation needed]
