29 Jul 2012|4,286 views
It seems like Kia has alot on their hands recently, first unveiling sketches of the would-be 2014 Kia Forte and now, they have released preview sketches of the all-new Kia Carens (or Rondo) compact MPV. The third generation vehicle will have its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show on September 27.Compared to its predecessor, the new Carens/Rondo looks significantly improved as it incorporates the Kia family design language. It sports a sleek, cab-forward design plus a lower roofline, longer wheelbase, larger wheels and a chrome beltline as an accent.
Despite the sportier demeanour, Kia says the main design priority was spacious practicality which was conceived around the theme ‘dynamic space'. This seems vague at present but the only sensible thought is that there would be some clever seating arrangements for 5 and 7-seat layouts to be presented.
