Kia QYI compact SUV India launch confirmed for H2 2020

Enjoying some real success on the accomplishment of the Seltos, Kia Motors India is currently preparing its second model for India – the Carnival MPV. In any case, that is not by any means the only model Kia has arranged for 2020 – the Korean carmaker has now affirmed it will dispatch its second SUV in the not so distant future.

Alongside the declaration of a climb in costs for the Seltos, it has now been affirmed the Kia QYI reduced SUV will be propelled in India in the second-50% of 2020. Subsequent to presenting the Carnival MPV at the 2020 Auto Expo, Kia is probably going to dispatch its conservative SUV (codenamed QYI) closer to August 2020, as the organization means to "further reinforce its Utility Vehicle brand picture in India", as indicated by the announcement.

Subtleties on the Kia QYI reduced SUV are rare now, yet what we can be sure of is that it will share its underpinnings with its cousin, the Hyundai Venue. All things considered, while it will get its mechanicals from Hyundai's smaller SUV, the Kia QYI will have a totally extraordinary (and progressively adjusted) structure. As spy pictures have recently uncovered, the Kia QYI will get Kia's mark 'Tiger Nose' grille, and is probably going to abstain from going down the split-front lamp course. It will likewise have a totally new inside and is relied upon to pack in heaps of highlights, including an enormous touchscreen infotainment framework and Kia's UVO associated vehicle tech.

Motor and gearbox choices for the Kia QYI are required to reflect those of the Hyundai Venue, so there will be oil and diesel alternatives to look over, alongside the choice of a manual and a double grip programmed gearbox. It will be intriguing to check whether Kia presents 'Tech Line' and 'GT Line' variations for the QYI, as it accomplished for the Seltos, to make more prominent separation between the standard and sportier renditions of the SUV.

While the last generation model may be uncovered later in 2020, it is not yet clear if Kia decides to make a big appearance the QYI as a daintily masked idea at the Auto Expo 2020, similar to how it exhibited the Seltos as the SP Signature a couple of months in front of its worldwide presentation.

At the point when it is propelled in the second-50% of 2020, expect the Kia QYI's cost to be in the scope of Rs 7 – 11.5 lakh (ex-showroom) as it will take on the Hyundai Venue, Maruti Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon, Ford EcoSport, Mahindra XUV300 and the forthcoming Renault HBC conservative SUV.
