Here’s a slightly different take on a crossover, then. Kia has released a teaser sketch of its KV7 Concept, which will make its world premiere at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next month.

The company has tagged it as a convention-challenging concept, and certainly, those rear gullwing doors do capture the attention in a big way. The vehicle’s lines are reminiscent of the Soul’s, and it does look like a – rather – stretched version of the latter.

Lots to swivel about too inside the B-pillarless design, and it looks like every seat in the house can do the about turn. Well, hopefully the driver’s won’t be able to when the vehicle is on the move! No other details have been released, so it’s that wait till Jan then.

      thats why its still a concept. :p\
      Gullwing doors don’t work in tight parking spots.

      Minivan sliding doors are still the best for a people mover…..

      i have had hard enough time in largish coupe, ie. camaro Z28 coupe in a tight parking lot. Those doors are looong. In summer I just leave the T Tops open to get in and out easier.
