Teaser sketches of the updated Kia Ray have surfaced this week, ahead of the new version’s debut before year’s end.

When it comes to styling, the QX50 never looked bad, but it did look forgettable when compared to the Mercedes-Benz GLA-based QX30, mid-size QX70, and body-on-frame QX80. The bland styling, however, is not on the agenda of the second-generation QX50, confirmed for MY 2019.
