Kia VG Concept Leaked Prior to Seoul Motor Show

Leaked photo with Kia VG concept

Just before the beginning of the Seoul International Motor Show, here we have the fist leaked photo showing the Kia VG concept expected to be displayed during this event. Obviously, since we're dealing with a leaked photo, there are only a few things related to the car available at this point. However, the guys over at thecarblogger.net, who actually published the leaked image, wrote that the production model will go on sale later this year in Korea and in early 2010 in the United States.

Moreover, it may seem like the car will come in a choice of multiple engine configurations, including a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder to be addressed to the Korean market. A different and more powerful unit, a 3.5-liter V6 Lambda will also be available, but it's still unclear whether the South Korean manufacturer plans to sell it on the domestic market alone.

Aside from this fact, Kia recently rolled out the first official photos with the 2010 Sorento which is expected to be showcased at the Seoul auto show as well. Just like in VG's case, details regarding the new Sorento are fairly scarce but rumors are claiming the model will be powered by a 2.2-liter engine to produce around 200 horsepower and fuel consumption of 33.1 mpg in combined cycle.

Other engines may reach the upgraded lineup too, including a 2.4- and a 3.8-liter V6 that will be exclusively addressed to the European and United States markets.

But, once again, this is all speculation so we're expecting for some official specs on April 2nd when the Seoul Auto Show finally opens its doors.
