Still at concept stage, but looks nice for KIA

I hope they build it and bring it to the US so my friends can say it looks like an Audi and I can educate them by saying it's designed by the same guy.

front looks like an audi mixed with the camry se's grille.

i read that production car is gonna look nothing like that concept though....

phile

I can understand if the concept is one of those far-out designs (like the original Acura RDX concept) so obviously it's not going to see the light of day. But this thing is totally production ready. what's the point of the concept if the production car is going to look nothing like it.

DIS is probably on higher trim level with navi

yohan81718

kia is becoming like hyundai now.. (well.. they are pretty much same company now)

i heard this car's design executive is from audi...
i can't believe he chose that wheel..... it looks so out of date...

yohan81718

oh yea.. and it seems like they named this car K7, which is so lame...
they are trying to pretend like they're european or something

Infamous425

impressive

i'm the only one posting in this thread... lol
here are some production model pictures









supposedly this used platform of azera and should replace kia amanti
kdm version seems like a lot of new technology like rain sensing wipers, auto defogging, lane departure warning, etc etc... but i bet most of them will not come in usdm version as seen with genesis sedan

Is this for real or just for shows?

AsianRage

Looks like they took the Audi styling cues and and added more Asian

^ designed by the same guy

FiftyFive

Wow, i think the production shots look great.

The production car really looks good. Ofcourse, they lead designer came from Audi, so I wouldn't expect anything less.

LessisBestmakingendsmeet

That looks spectacular for a Kia. I would not have guessed it. Wow they have come a long way.

charliemike

That is a really nice looking car.

I am really curious what the next Hyundai Azera is going to look like ... It needs some help. 3/4 Genesis wouldn't be a bad thing. Oh, and RWD?

mcflyguy24

That looks freaking sweet! I really hope it get's all the options shown including the nicer interior when it gets here. I can't see this car not being a big sales hit for them.

AsianRage

I'm not surprised. It's a great design that he's cribbing from.

JediMindTricks

oh wow. looks very good, indeed.

CocheseUGA

Very impressive.

Honda is in trouble

So seriously, you will be able to get that car with a pure white leather interior and piano black trim? That's so "from the future". If I had that car I would totally drive it wearing all white clothes and clear shield-style sunglasses.

yohan81718

^ no

Don't forget to shave your head too for that "futuristic look".....in the future, hair is no longer needed.

I looked at a few on the prototype run line last week in Korea. Yohan's pictures are spot on. It looked really good in person. But there was a line or two on the front fascia that I just didn't like initially.

Overall, a promising car. I didn't get a chance to drive it.

But I did go along for a 140-mph ride on the test track (43-degree bank) in an Equus. I want one. That car is sick. The rear suspension drops for passenger ingress/egress and rises back up once in motion. Nothing new, I know, but very trick on a car projected to sell for $60k. At full drop, it looked like a low rider.

+1. They're asses are going to be handed to them very soon.
