Hello.

I am Uniji (YukaPost), an automotive influencer.

Kia has announced the launch of the 2025 Morning, signaling changes in the domestic compact car market. This model focuses on enhancing safety and convenience rather than exterior design, with the inclusion of standard Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) being a key feature. Additionally, some trims have added convenience features, further boosting the vehicle's appeal.

The most notable change in the 2025 Morning is the standardization of advanced driver assistance systems. All trims now come equipped with features such as ▲Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist ▲Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning ▲Intelligent Speed Limit Assist ▲High Beam Assist. The forward collision-avoidance feature even detects pedestrians and cyclists, providing safety comparable to that of a mid-size vehicle, despite being a compact car.

Additionally, the driver attention warning system now includes a notification for when the vehicle in front starts moving and a rear passenger alert system. The premium Signature trim features Smart Cruise Control and Highway Driving Assist, along with a stop-and-go function that reduces fatigue during long drives.

The interior of the Kia 2025 Morning has also seen significant improvements. A new 4.2-inch color TFT LCD Supervision cluster provides drivers with clearer driving information. Higher trims feature a full auto air conditioning system, enhancing convenience, while the Signature trim supports Smart Cruise Control and Highway Driving Assist.

The 2025 Morning minimizes price increases through subtle changes, with the selling prices set at 13,950,000 KRW (approximately 10,600 USD) for the Trendy, 15,750,000 KRW (approximately 11,800 USD) for the Prestige, 17,750,000 KRW (approximately 13,300 USD) for the Signature, and 18,700,000 KRW (approximately 14,000 USD) for the GT-Line. This marks an increase of up to 750,000 KRW (approximately 570 USD) compared to the previous year. Kia also introduced a van model during this facelift, with the Trendy van priced at 13,750,000 KRW (approximately 10,400 USD) and the Prestige van at 14,400,000 KRW (approximately 10,800 USD), each increasing by 750,000 KRW (approximately 570 USD) and 700,000 KRW (approximately 530 USD), respectively.

This 2025 Morning facelift emphasizes improving user experience over design or powertrain changes. A Kia representative stated, "We aimed to enhance customer satisfaction by standardizing advanced safety systems." Despite a shrinking domestic compact car market, the Morning continues to maintain strong competitiveness as a practical choice.

In conclusion, the '2025 Morning' presents small yet significant changes, offering safety and convenience that surpasses that of compact cars, making it an appealing option. Furthermore, in line with the slogan 'Should we catch Casper?', we anticipate a positive market response, and we appreciate your valuable comments. Wishing you a joyful and happy day, I conclude this post.
