Kia Motors is all set to hit the Indian roads soon with its SP2i mid-size SUV. Recently, the first sketch image of the car was revealed by the company and now the interior also has been teased. The image clearly shows that the interior looks very similar to the one seen in the Kia SP concept displayed at the 2018 Auto Expo.

Trimmed in high-quality materials throughout, the expansive shapes and technical forms of the cabin create a youthful and luxurious vibe. With chic design details, such as metallic highlights in the air vents and a broad, sweeping dashboard, the cabin also maintains a focus on technology, creating a modern ambience to appeal to young-at-heart, tech-savvy buyers. The grab-bar on the passenger side of the centre console adds a sporty feel.

The dashboard centers on a new 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation system providing seamless access to a range of features. The tactile, user-friendly center console beneath allows certain features – such as ventilation and air conditioning – to be adjusted easily and safely on-the-move. Kia’s Sound Mood Lighting technology can alter the cabin’s ambient lighting to suit occupants’ preferences, creating a high level of personalized driving experience.

Byung Chul Juh, Head of Kia Styling at Kia Motors Corporation, comments: “We have focused on designing a cabin unlike any other in the mid-SUV segment, with a greater sense of depth and richness to the design. Our newest model will offer greater pleasure and satisfaction to our customers, with a premium-quality interior that benefits from sophisticated design details.”

Kia Motors is in a plan to launch the mid-SUV, which possesses the space and capabilities of a traditional SUV in a compact package, in the second half of 2019. The car’s trial production commenced on 29th January 2019 and will be manufactured at Kia’s state-of-the-art facility in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh.
