Sneak Peek of Kia Kue Concept

DETROIT — Kia Motors has released a sketch of its coming Kue concept, set to be unveiled here at the 2007 North American International Auto Show this coming January.

According to the company, the Kia Kue employs a different approach to the crossover utility vehicle segment by ramping up the emphasis on performance.

"Kue is designed first and foremost as a driver's vehicle. While possessing SUV characteristics and capabilities, the Kia Kue focuses more on giving the driver an exhilarating driving experience on the way to the home improvement center than on how much it can haul," the company said in a statement.

The Kia Kue has a monocoque platform and sits on 22-inch tires with a wheelbase of more than 114 inches, packaged in an overall length of 186 inches.

While only a concept, the company says it may hint at future styling for Kia products.
