Kia Sportspace - Another Sexy Sportwagon
Kia Sportspace - Another Sexy Sportwagon-July 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:48

Kia will officially reveal the Sportspace concept at the Geneva motor show in March 2015. The concept showcases a grand tourer type vehicle that’s comfortable over a long journey and stylish to behold.

I will admit to being a fan of the station wagon shape and this Sportspace concept is really hitting the right notes as far as looks go. According to Kia the Sportspace is “designed at Kia’s Frankfurt design studio, under the direction of Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer Europe, the Sportspace features a unique and captivating body shape. The car is born out of a commitment to provide stylish and exciting transportation for four which is also spacious and functional, without sacrificing the performance, sustainability and economy that Kia is known for.”

“We set out to design a car that is a totally new breed of grand tourer – one for active people who need reasonable cargo space on the weekend, but don’t want to compromise moving around in style, comfort and with an element of sportiness,” explains Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer Europe.

Whilst Kia may not have mentioned it in its release, it is widely believed that this concept shows that Kia may offer its next generation Kia Optima in a station wagon as well.
