Little more than a year after Kia announced its entry into the Indian car market, it has revealed its first major step by unveiling the SP SUV. It’s a new D-segment vehicle and in production form, it will enter the same slot as its sibling, the Hyundai Creta.
The concept car is a bright orange and is x.xx metres, thus making it the right size for its segment. On the face of things, there's the signature Kia tiger nose grille, sleek head lamps and silver bash plate - elements that give the SP its unique look. The glass section narrows down at the rear and gives the car a unique look thanks to the chunky C-pillars and the white coloured roof. At the rear, you can’t miss those wedge-like wrap around tail lamps and the large chrome strip running across both brake lamps. The car gets a muscular stance thanks to the large 16-inch wheels which form a star-like design and have been painted in grey.
The orange and white interiors are standard Kia fare and borrow most of its design cues from the current crop of Kia cabins found in cars like the Niro and the much larger Sorento. There is no word yet on power trains of any kind, but we believe that Kia will offer a range of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines as well as AT and MT options for both fuel variants.
