LOS ANGELES -- Kia plans to expand its global light-truck lineup and shared a preview with the release of sketches of the small new crossover.
It will be revealed this summer and go on sale in Korea later this year, followed by global markets.
The description of the vehicle, inspired by the 2019 SP Signature Concept, sounds like Kia's version of the Hyundai Venue subcompact crossover that goes on sale later this year in the U.S.
"The new vehicle," Kia said Tuesday, "possesses the space and capabilities of a traditional SUV in a compact package."
