I'm not saying small MPVs need to be sexy, but I don't think it's as nice as Kia's other offerings or as interesting to look at as the Opel Zafira or Citroen C4 Picasso.


It's OK, though

Maybe I'm crazy, but the interior looks a bit old and cheap in comparison to other Kias.....

Payman

Other than needlessly large headlights, it looks pretty good. The interior is very restrained for a Korean, and it looks great.

TurboDan

It looks decent. Not a fan of the stack under the LCD screen. Looks like mid-90s GM crap. Aside from that, they did a decent job.

Madman

Not bad at all.  Much better looking than the awful Toyota Matrix.  Has this been confirmed for the US?

Kia is probably working on a minivan-type of SUV for the US market. Or a Crossover. :lol:

You aren't funny. The SUV this size is the Sportage and it does decently in your market
