It’ll be three...
It’ll be three for the price of one on Kia’s Geneva show stand this year! The Korean company will be revealing a trio of concepts based on its forthcoming Soul compact MPV.
The striking Mesa concept...
The striking Mesa concept is built on the platform of the next-generation Sorento, due late next year, and features a powerful V8 engine. It"s the work of Kia"s California-based design studio. Company vice president Yong-Hwan Kim said: "The Mesa exemplifies the future of the SUV market and is a glimpse of the dynamic designs to come from us."
Thanks to a monocoque construction, rather than a separate ladderframe chassis, the high-end 4x4 is designed to offer car-like road manners, yet still provide genuine mud-plugging ability.
Inside it"s luxury all the way, with dual full-length sunroofs and individual captain"s chairs. Those in the rear are kept entertained by a DVD player and a surround-sound speaker system.
