Hyundai has been caught testing a new mid-size crossover vehicle in the desert southwest.

Last week, some Web sites identified the vehicle shown here as a Hyundai version of the upcoming compact Kia Rondo. That vehicle, our sources tell us, is exclusive to the smaller Korean automaker.

Instead, what you're seeing here is the Hyundai version of the Cee'd, a crossover vehicle - roughly the size of the Portico concept from previous Hyundai auto-show press conferences - that Kia will show in production form at the Paris auto show. Apparently, Kia will share the Cee'd with Hyundai, and potentially, both will be offered in theU.S. An official announcement on the new crossover is expected by the time the Detroit auto show rolls around in January. -Jeremy Kupfer for Brenda Priddy & Co.
