While the new Kia lineup does include its fair share of athletic AWD vehicles, like the Sorento and the Sportage, the brand has never really been known around Mechanicsburg, PA for creating gritty, hard-core off-roading machines.
But, in preparation for SEMA, Kia is offering something a little different. Last year, we were treated to a trail-running Kia Soul concept, and for the upcoming show the brand will be submitting two very distinct new off-roading models. One, a 4x4 lifted Kia Sorento, and the other? This beastie.
What do you think? Could the Kia Forte Koup pull off this aggressive makeover in the long-term? Or is this one idea that's best left on the drawing board?
Check back with the McCafferty Kia of Mechanicsburg blog throughout the next few weeks for more updates from SEMA, and more fun news from Kia.
