Kia is examining a possible entry into the mini SUV segment. The Niro study gives a first glimpse of a potential series model - and wing doors seem to be back in fashion.
At the IAA from September 12 to 22, Kia will unveil the Niro study as well as the new Soul. The concept vehicle is seen as the first preview of a mini SUV. The European Kia design team headed by Gregory Guillaume, which is located right next to the Frankfurt exhibition center, is responsible for the study.
Kia Niro with higher quality comfort elements
Due to its high wheels, the Niro conveys a lot of potency - regardless of any performance data that Kia has not yet announced. And the gullwing doors are also dynamic and seem to be making a small trend at this IAA. Opel already used gullwing doors for its Monza concept vehicle. In the event of a possible series production, conventional doors would most likely be used.
The study vehicle is equipped with many elements that have so far only been used in higher classes, but are also increasingly used by other manufacturers to "descend" into lower segments. The importer from Korea wants to show that the study produced in Europe also meets the highest European standards. (AG)
