Although the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/frankfurt-auto-show/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a> may be home turf to a half dozen German automakers, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/">Kia</a> won't have far to go when it wheels its new concept over to the Messe for the exposition in a couple of weeks. That's because the show car you see here was designed less than a kilometer away from the convention center at Kia's European design center.<br />
<br />
It's called the Niro, and it's designed to gauge public interest - particularly the European public's - for a potential new B-segment model. Kia's not saying much else about the project, only that it was directed by its chief European designer Gregory Guillaume and that it "combines a mischievous character in a clearly robust and substantial yet stylish bodyshape" and that it incorporates stainless steel and other materials into its shape.<br />
<br />
What we can see from the images (which you can view in the gallery above) distributed with the press release (below) is a compact crossover coupe with Kia's trademark grille (part of the neon green accents), a contrasting greenhouse, and butterfly doors to access a molded cockpit with widescreen infotainment display. For more than that, though, we'll have to wait until the concept is revealed in Frankfurt on September 10.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/29/kia-niro-concept-frankfurt/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Kia reveals Niro concept in Frankfurt, by Frankfurt and for Frankfurt</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/29/kia-niro-concept-frankfurt/">Kia reveals Niro concept in Frankfurt, by Frankfurt and for Frankfurt</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:26:00 EST.
