The Kia Ray is a city car manufactured by Kia exclusively for the South Korean domestic market. Based on the Kia Picanto/Morning, it was specifically developed in compliance with the "light car" (Korean: 경차, romanized: Gyeongcha) category that offers tax incentives for cars with exterior dimensions below 141.7" in length and below 63.0" in width.

Only available in the local Korean domestic market, the Kia Ray is equipped with a 998cc gasoline engine which generates 77 hp at 6,400 rpm.

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.[2] 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 Kia Ray EV was launched in 2011 as 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 86 miles depending on driving conditions.
