Kia Motors, which entered the Indian automobile space last year, has become one of the biggest manufacturers in the country. After the success of the Seltos mid-size SUV, the brand will launch the all-new Kia Carnival at the Auto Expo. Kia will focus on SUVs in the coming times since they have become quite popular in recent times with Indian buyers. At the 2020 Auto Expo, the company will showcase a slew of products including a brand-new sub-4m SUV, that we all know as the Kia QYI SUV. This will take on the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Hyundai Venue.
Codenamed as Kia QYI, the all-new vehicle will be launched in the Indian market in the coming months. The concept vehicle to be showcased by the manufacturer at the Auto Expo will reveal the design of the upcoming vehicle.
The two teaser images released by the manufacturer shows the outline of the upcoming sub-4m Kia SUV. It will get a design that is similar to the highly successful Seltos. At the front, it will get the butterfly design grille with sleek headlamps on either side. The vehicle will get sharp LED DRLs that will be unique and will become the identity of the vehicle on the roads. The concept QYI gets aggressive bumper design too that makes it look intimidating.
On the side, the concept SUV gets large alloy wheels with heavily flared wheel arches. The window line of the vehicle gets a thick chrome strip that adds a sense of premium look to the SUV. The production version of the vehicle is expected to get 16-inch alloy wheels. The blacked-out B-Pillar and A-Pillar add a sense of modern design to the car.
At the rear, the concept SUV will offer sleek LED tail lamps with all-LED lamps. Both the tail lamps seem to be connected with a light bar. Even the rear gets an aggressively designed bumper with integrated exhaust tips.
Kia is yet to reveal the engine options for the upcoming vehicle. However, it is likely to share the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and the 1.4-litre diesel engine with the Hyundai Venue. The production version of the car is expected to be launched in 2021.
