Kia officially launched the 2025 Ray EV in Korea with the same low starting price of under $21,000. However, the new model year gains additional features. With incentives, the entry-level electric car can be bought for as little as $15,000 (20 million won).

The “New Kia Ray” was reborn as an entry-level EV last year. After opening pre-orders last August, starting at around $20,500 (27.35 million won), the Kia Ray EV secured over 6,000 reservations in less than a month.

“We hear you! Here is another hideous SUV with absolutely awful, wildly inefficient energy-to-range figures. Enjoy!”

It’s made exclusively for the SK market.
It also likely wouldn’t pass US safety ratings because it’s lightweight and tiny.

If it does it’ll get the import tax so look forward to it being in the high 20ks.

I don’t know that they’re allowed to. I saw China is building some of them in Mexico because of it.
