First look: Kia’s all-new SUV

September 20th, 2007 Posted in Kia Vehicles   



By Michael Choo
International PR Manager

 

Here is the first full vehicle image of Kia’s 7-passenger SUV. Derived from the Mesa concept vehicle and larger than our popular Sorento model, this vehicle’s third row seating is designed to comfortably accommodate adults.

 

HM

 

This yet-to-be-named SUV code named the ‘HM’ will be available as a 2009 model in the U.S. and will make its debut at the upcoming 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

    Hm, don’t know what to say, this is probably in the Landcruiser range, right? Probably it’ll be a good competitor.

    Good to have posted the First Image of HM. It seems launch time of 2009 beginning is too long to wait !!

    Hope KMC will adopt Dual AC for the rear passengers too, in this marvelous 7 setaer SUV.

    I am looking for a 5+2 seat SUV (like the new BMW X 5),
    preferably with Diesel-engine or Hybrid.
    Will it be available in Germany?

    Looks good, and the ground clearance says that is a more dedicated off-roader although I think an actual, usable roof rack should be standard on big SUVs, it makes them look good. please release the entire photo quickly.
