Designed as a crossover utility vehicle for those who want something larger than a Sorento SUV, the Cross GT Concept was presented as a show car only. At least for the moment, when Kia refuses to offer more information related to eventual mass production.

According to Kia, the Cross GT is powered by a 3.8-litre V6 hybrid that can rely exclusively on electricity for about 20 miles, which isn't a lot, but not exactly a poor performance for a concept vehicle.

As far as the exterior is concerned, the car stands out through the three-piece glass roof and the suicide doors, two features that we might as well enjoy now, since there's little chance they'll be transferred on a production version.

All in all, we really think that a Cross GT-based production car has enough potential to outlive the Kia Borrego.
