Kia Launches ‘New Car-Level’ Morning Facelift Starting at 13.15 Million KRW

Exterior Design Changed
Lowest Trim Minus, Removed in This Model

Kia announced that it will launch the updated model year version of the Morning on the 5th. The company explained that it features exterior design changes equivalent to a new car, along with class-leading advanced driver assistance systems and convenience features. However, the previous model's minus trim priced in the 11 million KRW range has been discontinued.

The Morning combines a gasoline 1.0 engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission, achieving a class-leading combined fuel efficiency of 15.1 km/ℓ based on 14-inch wheels.

Standard features include an 8-inch display audio system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rearview monitor, power-folding outside mirrors, and a first-row C-type USB charging port. The smart key system with remote start function and second-row C-type USB charging port are optional.

A Kia representative stated, “The Kia Morning, our flagship compact car, returns with a completely renewed design and class-leading advanced driver assistance systems and convenience features. Based on its sophisticated city look design and enhanced product value, the Morning will provide customers with an attractive urban mobility experience.”
