Powered by 1.0L Boosterjet engine the iK-2 has a blackened A-pillar, large alloy rims, and muscular lines running across the top portion of the side profile. The front end U-Shaped grille gives it a peppy look and it has got a conventional looking front bumper with fog lamps which makes the look of the car all the more elegant.
