Kia could be about to launch a new range-topping 4x4 that would rival the likes of the VW Touareg, Land Rover Discovery and even the mighty Range Rover. The Cross GT (pictured above) is a concept car for the moment, but it will be shown at the Chicago Motor Show and Kia has a habit of putting its concept cars into production.
According to Kia, the Cross GT is “Inspired by nature, driven by technology” and is designed to sit in the range above the recently-updated seven-seat Sorento SUV. Nothing is known yet about the car's powertrain or interior, but according to Kia insiders its a definite nod in the direction of Kia's planned upmarket push. Flushed with success, the Korean car maker believes it should be able to compete with Volkswagen and Ford with models such as the Rio and Cee'd and take on the likes of BMW and Mercedes with high-end models like this.
A workable plan? We'll find out more in the coming months.
