IF that car would be available in the UK, I could buy it today. This is a much more important car than KIA EV9. This is everything we need for commuting in English cities built around Roman Empire roads and parking spaces designed after the size of Mini from 1970. and yes... ACC or Traffic Jam Assist would be welcomed. Thank you for bringing these cars to our attention. Great job mate.

If this car came to the Canary Islands, it would be a success as a vehicle for rental and use in the city. Sadly the last key cars to arrive were some Nissan Cube and some Daihatsu Sirion. It will have to be raised with the importer Domingo Alonso

What a great little car! I'd love to see these in Romania where the only affordable alternative is the Dacia Spring. But after owning a Sportage for almost 7 years now, I'm partial to Kia ☺️. And this one would make so much more sense for the city than my big bulky Sportage. Would be easier to drive along narrow streets and easier to park. Plus my daily drive is less than 15 km taking the kids to and from school and to and from different extracurriculars. With that range (full regen in the city) I'd probably have to go around 2 weeks between charges or more. I would really like to see it available here too. Also love the passenger side. And the fact that it still has some usable booth to stop by the supermarket on the way home. Kia, please bring this to Europe as well, you are discriminating us for not being South Korean 😅

Mitsubishi had the same problem as the Ray (being underpowered) with their i-MiEV. They had a tiny gasoline engine in the back driving the rear wheels. As soon as they made the vehicle electric, it was SO much better and eventually was sold outside of Japan. Maybe the same thing will happen with the Ray EV.

I like this one very much🤩 only if it was in right hand drive & had 50 km more range, plus a vented front passenger seat it’d be perfect at around the 20k-22k price mark. Tbh tho it doesn’t need as much hp as it has got, they should trim off some of it for more range, a car of this type torque is more important it’s not like anyone is buying this car to go on the racetracks. A next gripe the sliding door should go further back for though it’s easy at the side to get in without pillars people who’re taller & thicker in body will find themselves getting hanged on the door. I can see this car being used for all kinds of purposes like a family car, grocery getter, taxis, delivery vans & so on! They need to make it global they’re missing out on profit.
