South Korean automaker Kia is well and truly looking to make a splash in the burgeoning Indian automotive market with the launch of the Kia SP Concept, a curvy compact SUV that is designed to bring a combination of modern, sleek style and unquestionable performance to Indian drivers.
This particular compact SUV offers all the luxury and spaciousness associated with a luxury sedan, with the ability to navigate all kinds of terrain—a feature that will be most useful on Indian roads. The vehicle is currently being promoted in a bright orange color, although whatever color buyers go with, they can rest assured knowing the vehicle will stand out thanks to a classic Kia grille and double-tiered headlight design.
Being unveiled at the AutoExpo in the Indian capital New Delhi, this compact SUV is a fine example of automotive design being tailored for the challenges of a specific market.
