Kia Motors Europe exposera un élégant nouveau concept-car au 85e Salon International de l'Automobile de Genève, le 3 mars 2015.
Ce nouveau modèle du segment D est le 11e concept-car créé par le studio de design européen de Kia à Francfort, en Allemagne. Avec des lignes affirmées et puissantes qui s'élancent élégamment de la calandre « nez de tigre », signature de Kia, vers l'arrière du véhicule, ce nouveau concept-car incarne un design moderne et une énergie raffinée et discrète.
Le concept a été créé comme un accessoire spacieux et polyvalent pour un mode de vie actif, comme une étude de design volontaire et énergique destinée aux amateurs de style, et comme un sanctuaire pour échapper au stress du monde moderne.

10 commentairesThat front grill/headlight design looks nice. I hope the new Optima looks like it. Lower bumper looks similar to spy shots as well.
I'm very surprised about this concept, hopefully the production model of the next-gen will be closer to this, because before that, I was pretty disappointed about the final design of the Optima
I agree. This concept looks a lot mean and sportier. Although I must say, I'm pretty sure this is a hybrid/electric. That Tiger Nose grill has no mesh. It's probably a demonstrator for their new sedan design route and the hybrid system they are developing for future.
Honestly, imo it doesn't look good.
Optima.
It's the Sportswagon. I saw it today, and it looks really stunning...
What an amazing car, thanks for the post!
The front is so beautiful that i want to bite in. At the same time it is a little bit aggressive, which is also very nice. Yesterday a german internet magazine wrote that a caravan version is planned for europe. The realization of it would be great. And in addition with an optimized 1.7 crdi and a 2.0 R diesel engine it would sell like hell in europe. KIA comes like a tsunami.
One of the very few cars in the D segment with an orignal greenhouse. Unlike Altima, Avalon, Passat, Fusion, Buick Verno, Chrysler 200 which all didn't get those type of greenhouses until after the 2011 Sonata came out. Now all of a sudden the haters rather accuse the Genesis of copying yet ignoring it's taking after the Sonata's greenhouse.
Not sure if I agree about the C-pillar similarity between GT concept and the new Maxima. Nissan has gone for the new "floating roof" design that's old (Range Rover), but recently has become popular again (Hyundai i20, Mazda CX3 and Citroen Cactus are three good examples). GT concept is an evolution of Optima with continuous chrome accent all the way from the A-pillar to the back.
