Just
ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show on March 3, Kia is teasing a new D-segment concept
car which most likely previews the next-generation Optima sedan.
The
11th concept car created by the company’s European design studio in Frankfurt,
Germany, features “confident, powerful lines which sweep elegantly from Kia’s hallmark ‘tiger-nose’ grille
towards the rear of the vehicle,” according to the release.
Kia also says the as-yet-unnamed
study has been created “as a spacious and versatile accessory to an active
lifestyle, as a purposeful, energetic design study for the style-conscious, and
as a sanctuary from the stresses of the modern world.”
Moving
on from the press blurb, the teaser photo allows us to notice that the study
does not look futuristic at all, leading us to believe it will transition into
a production model quite smoothly. The photo also allows us to notice the
similar shape to the current-generation Optima, as well as sporty
details like the vented fenders and the alloy wheels.
