Kia has released a preview image of its Sports Coupe concept car which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt International Motor Show on September 11.

Designed in Europe, under the guidance of Kia’s chief design officer, Peter Schreyer, the all-new 2+2 concept’s name will be revealed at the show.

“I believe this concept car could be a ‘landmark’ vehicle in Kia’s history and I wanted it to appeal to the widest possible audience.

“This design is not the result of self-indulgent design excess. It incorporates a host of elements that will become the new face-of-Kia right across our product range and it is the clearest design statement about the way I want Kia to be seen as we go forwards,” said Schreyer.

The announcement by Schreyer opens up the possibility of Kia adding a model like Hyundai’s Coupe to its line-up in the future.

  • A spy shot of the new Hyundai Coupe can be seen in the next issue of AM on August 24.
