Kia released the first official images of the near-luxury sedan concept car, code-named KND-5, ahead of its debut at the Seoul Motor Show 2009 which opens to the press on April 2.

Based on the VG, the Kia KND-5 features an exterior with a newly interpreted line and the striking LED headlamps of a luxury sedan.

KND-5 employs the same color for its body on the door handles and has a powerful, muscular profile.
The panorama sunroof extends seamlessly from the front windshield to contribute to its open and sleek facade.

Hyoung-Keun Lee, Senior Executive Vice President & COO, International Business Division, said, “The aggressive and sophisticated KND-5 exemplifies Kia’s futuristic design and values. As a concept car that presents the new direction of luxury sedan design, KND-5 will likely generate a lot of buzz at the Seoul Motor Show.”
