Kia dropped the LX manual transmission variant in the current offering, pairing the two two powertrain options (2.0-liter I4 that can deliver 147hp and almost 179Nm and the 1.6-liter turbocharged I4 that has a peak performance of 201hp and 264Nm) only to an automatic transmission.

Aside from that, the 10.25-inch display screen with navigation, dual automatic climate control, push-button start with engine immobilizer, wireless smartphone charger and dual USB chargers now come as standard for the S, X-Line and GT-Line of the latest offering.
