SEOUL, Feb. 9 (Korea Bizwire) — Kia Corp. on Tuesday rolled out the one-seat Ray minicar that can be used for multiple purposes.
The South Korea’s second-biggest carmaker removed the passenger seat from the existing two-seater van model and created a separate loading space therein, expanding the maximum cargo capacity to 1,628 liters.
Additional loading space was created at the footrest of the passenger seat where drivers can store their personal baggage.
Kia stressed that the new van boasts the biggest cargo capacity among compact-sized minivan models.
Compared to the two-seater minivan model, it has a 30 percent larger cargo loading space with the maximum loading weight being expanded by 26 percent or 65 kilograms to 315 kilograms.
Excluding special purpose vehicles, the Ray became the nation’s first vehicle to be certified as a single-seat vehicle among domestic passenger and commercial models.
