The Kia Ray is a plug-in hybrid vehicle concept. The four-seat compact sedan based on the Kia Forte platform features a futuristic look.
The concept was conceived as an efficient vehicle, making use of light-weight and recycled materials and hexagonal roof-top solar cells embedded in the glass roof panel. The Kia Design Center America was responsible for the creation of the edgy and futuristic design of the Kia Ray.

This front-wheel drive with a four-wheel independent suspension is equipped “with an engine-power saving alternator management system and a toggle gear-shift up/down indicator to encourage economical driving”.
The Ray Pug-in Hybrid concept can drive for more than 80 kilometers with its electric motor fully charged. It features a fuel economy rating of more than 85.9 kilometers per liter, with a total range of 1200 kilometres.
