It’s also equipped with a dual charging system that is compatible with domestic chargers as well as commercial charging points. The charging port is located on the front right fender of the car. Apart from getting a spacious and comfortable cabin, the K-ZE gets features such as rear parking sensors, rear-view camera and a central screen with connected navigation and services.
