Kia bringing KV7 gullwing concept to Detroit

(Dec 23rd 2010)

Just past the break, you'll find a brief official statement from Kia on the KV7 concept. Enjoy!

Gullwing doors... they're not just for SLS AMG owners or Back to the Future fans anymore. Kia is bringing its KV7 crossover concept to the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, and the ingress/egress on it looks to be pretty simple. This is very clearly just the rendering of the concept vehicle, and we'd bet a pair of DeLorean-themed Nikes that nothing with these doors or interior finish enters production. However, the KV7 could offer some subtle styling clues as to the future of Kia's crossover design language. We'll be in a better position to break it all down when we see it up close in Detroit.

At the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Kia will make another dramatic design statement with the world debut of an all-new, convention-challenging conceptvehicle named "KV7."

Further information will be released in early-January.
