Official specs list no approved towing capacity for trailers on this generation in Europe. aftermarket bars are for bike racks only. Payload reaches up to around 461 kg depending on version. The city car setup suits light daily loads rather than heavy work.
The cabin feels quieter thanks to added soundproofing panels and foam. Seats use materials from larger Kia models for better long-trip comfort, with fully adjustable headrests and a more reclined rear bench with stronger side bolsters. Higher grades add heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and an electric sunroof. Space is improved with more legroom and a larger boot that folds flat.
