DETROIT, MI - Kia Motors America said Thursday it plans to reveal an electric, all-wheel-drive concept vehicle on Feb. 12 at the Chicago Auto Show.
The Korean automaker said the concept will be an off-roader geared toward city dwellers who seek the occasional urban escape.
"Intended to enable a wide array of outdoor activities from skiing and snowboarding, to camping, hiking and mountain biking, this rugged runabout captures the essence of adventuring at higher elevations with the promise of surefootedness in the wild," the company said of the yet-to-be-named concept.
The vehicle was conceived at Kia's design studio in California.
Press preview days of the Chicago Auto Show are Feb. 12 and 13. The show, at McCormick Place, is open to the public Feb. 14-22.
