    Geneva Motor Show Tease: Kia Midsize Sedan Concept

      Kia has a new midsize concept for Geneva. A possible preview for the next Optima?


    Kia has released a teaser shot of a D-segment (midsize) sedan concept that will debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. The company isn't revealing much about the concept, but did say "with confident, powerful lines which sweep elegantly from Kia's hallmark 'tiger-nose' grille towards the rear of the vehicle, Kia's new concept car embodies modern design and refined, understated energy."

    Now some believe that this is a preview of the next-generation of the Optima midsize sedan. We'll find out if it is and have more information and pictures when the concept is shown on March 3rd.

    Elegant energy – Kia to show new concept car at Geneva

    Kia Motors Europe will exhibit a stylish new concept car at the 85th Salon International de l'Automobile in Geneva on 3 March 2015.

    This new D-segment model is the 11th concept car created by Kia's European design studio in Frankfurt, Germany. With confident, powerful lines which sweep elegantly from Kia's hallmark 'tiger-nose' grille towards the rear of the vehicle, Kia's new concept car embodies modern design and refined, understated energy.

    The concept has been created as a spacious and versatile accessory to an active lifestyle, as a purposeful, energetic design study for the style-conscious, and as a sanctuary from the stresses of the modern world.

    • I think this design will look better on a sedan than an SUV, but I like the direction they are going. And this is one generation, I bet the same happens to the generation after this, and we start seeing EV cost and weight going down. 10% less weight 20% lower cost 40% more energy efficient
    • True. But isnt there an entity that needs to actually and officially put a stamp of approval on them? Doesnt that also take time?  If safety of the people takes precedence over money...  Ha ha ha!!!   Im sure, like you said, nothing major will be of issue and minimal changes, if any required.
