Kia
Sportspace Concept
The
working week is over. The late afternoon sun is glinting on the ice crystals in
the road-side snowbanks and turning the snow-capped peaks ahead pink. The road
snakes ahead towards a weekend of fun and action. The journey demands a swift,
efficient and refined machine to allow the maximum pleasure to be extracted
from the time available.
This
is exactly the role for which the Kia Sportspace was conceived. Its muscular
proportions are ready to deliver a safe, secure but speedy passage to the
slopes. Its cosseting and refined interior provides convivial yet individual
space for its four passengers. Its sleek and elegant lines - both inside and
out - are functional but stylish, allowing its travelling partners both comfort
and convenience within a bodyshape that stands out from the crowd.
This
is a concept that has extracting the maximum from life at its heart.
Unveiled
to the world at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the Kia Sportspace is perhaps the
ultimate 'getaway' car - a thoroughly practical vehicle for everyday business
use, yet a stylish and athletic grand tourer in the classic sense - ready to
eat up the miles across continents, whether for business or leisure.
Conceived
and developed at Kia's European Design Centre in Frankfurt under the leadership
of Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer Europe, the Kia Sportspace is a car that
spurns traditional compromises. It is neither saloon car nor wagon. It is
neither hatchback nor shooting brake. It is instead a vehicle that can meet the
demands of those who refuse to be categorised when it comes to their lifestyle
or their motoring needs.
Indeed,
the Kia Sportspace stands as a very different type of vehicle in the segment.
It is neither meant to be, nor does it look like, a load-lugger - it is clearly
a sleek, road-eater that owners will want to get into and drive.
Sportspace
is powered by a high-performance, turbocharged powertrain, designed to fulfil Kia's
commitment to introducing more efficient, downsized gasoline engines. A compact
and lightweight 2.0-litre T-GDI (turbocharged gasoline direction injection)
engine generates 250 ps, driving the front wheels, resulting in high fuel
efficiency and spontaneous, powerful acceleration in all situations. It
perfectly supports the active driving experience promised by the dynamic
exterior design.
