Kia Kue concept to be unveiled in Detroit

At the Detroit auto show in January, Kia will unveil Kue concept vehicle — a crossover that Kia says holds clues to future styling for the automaker’s vehicles. The concept was produced by Kia’s design studio in California and is "focuses more on giving the driver an exhilarating driving experience on the way to the home-improvement center than on how much it can haul," Kia says.

The Kue’s wheelbase of more than 114 inches puts it on par with the Mazda CX-9 crossover, set to go on sale early next year. But the Kue’s overall length of 186 inches is just 2 inches more than Mazda’s smaller CX-7 crossover. There are no info yet if the Kue is going to be put into production.
