Kia announces new concept to debut in Frankfurt

Kia will unveil a new B-segment concept at next month's Frankfurt motor show, following from the similarly sized recent Provo and CUB concepts.

The unnamed concept, previewed in two renders, is said to feature a mix of contrasting materials inside the compact car and has been designed in Europe to suit European tastes and expectations. The interior render shows a one-piece seat base for driver and passenger, pierced by a pair of braces that support the IP.

Kia has confirmed that while there are no plans for production, the concept's unveiling is designed to gauge public opinion for its future production models.
