Kia has made the 2024 Morning the first South Korean compact car to come standard with an electronic parking brake (EPB) and auto hold function.

The Signature trim receives further upgrades with 16-inch wheels and rear disc brakes now included as standard features.

For improved driver convenience, all trims of the 2024 Morning now come equipped with intelligent driving control systems and fire extinguishers.
