Kia's design department is on a roll! This sleek saloon, codenamed VG, is the latest model to emerge from the Korean manufacturer, and it could well be its best-looking model to date.
Combining the layout of a four-door saloon with the low roofline and short front overhang of a coupe, much like the Jaguar XF, it's changed very little from the concept that previewed it at the Seoul Motor Show earlier this year.
Power comes from a 277bhp 3.5-litre V6 driving the front wheels, although a 2.4-litre four-cylinder unit will also be available.
But here's the bad news... Kia is only planning to sell the VG in Korea, North America and selected European markets - there's no current plans to bring it to the UK.
No iKia
So, Kia have no plans to bring this vehicle to the UK? If true, that'd be a really silly decision. I refuse to believe it'd be because they don't want to produce a RHD version. They'd be cutting themselves out of three of the most important markets in the world (Britain, Japan, Australia). So why then? Over to you Kia...
