As if Kias->ke41 weren't inexpensive enough, now the South Korean automaker has created two special editions based off of their c'eed->ke1899 and pro_cee'd models. They're called the VR-7 Special Editions and they are currently on sale. The special editions will offer additional equipment including reversing sensors and a number of other high level features.

The VR-7 Special Editions will come with a 1.4 liter petrol engine and a manual gearbox. It will be distinguished by 16inch Style ‘A’ Alloys, body color door panels, and heated and electronically controlled door mirrors. Inside, both Special Editions will get air conditioning, remote central locking, and front electric windows, as well as Bluetooth functionality with iPod connectivity. Tweeter speakers are added for a 6 speaker surround sound system.

The exterior will be available in Arctic White, Silver Storm, Phantom Black, and Tempest Grey (which is unique to the Special Edition). The interior will get leather trim on the steering wheel, gear shift, parking lever, and the floor console/front arm rest.
