Kia to Unveil KV7 Concept at Detroit Auto Show

The concept features rear gullwing doors, second-row swivel captain’s chairs and an exterior design that resembles the Ford Flex. The concepts that preceded the Soul, Forte Koupe and Sportage looked a lot like the production vehicles, so expect the same thing to happen here, according to Kia.

This concept could point toward the automaker’s intention of adding a larger family crossover to its fleet. Kia dropped the Borrego last year, and the automaker is missing a large crossover that can compete with the Chevrolet Traverse or Ford Flex. The Sorrento, which can seat five or seven passengers, is significantly smaller than those competitors.

Kia will have more information on the KV7 in the coming weeks.
