Just to let you know that orange indicator lights(turn signals)are mandatory here in the UK.

That’s what P. Schreyer is aiming to do, exactly. It must be working.

I think KSport is right. Finally a Kia that people can say, “That looks just like a Kia, and nothing else”

yes. pete is building a new identity for Kia. The front definately reminds of the kue.
.
and that has to be a grille in front which is proved in three ways:
the first reason is very obvious: not having a grille on such a big opening is bad for the radiator which will be very proned to damage.
.
two: the gap between the horizontal lines is quiet large to be a radiator’s mesh.
.
third reason: the camo cover in front runs through the middle of the grille meaning its hiding something which is more than likely to be the logo which are always fixed on a grille.

It looks like a mix of kue and knd-4. front is inspired from kue while wheel arches and cladding remind me of knd-4.and of more interest,it features a check mark like body lines starting from a-pillar.looks nice that Kia is building its unique identity.

The holes shown in the picture are not big enough to be the fine holes of the radiator.

Oh yeah, I thought about the 4th photo that it was just parked but why is it that the pillars are not covered with tape like the one in Europe? That was what told me that that photo could have the grille displayed.

It could be chorme but I think it is just the color of the truck. Chrome can be difficult to notice when surrounded by silver but let it be surrounded by black and the chrome stands out. Then again the camo is sorta black but the chrome looks to be the same as the roof.

The reason that it is the back in the 4th picture is probably because it was parked, and they couldn’t get a clear shot of the front. I am 100% positive that that is a grille, otherwise why would they put chrome around it?

Or is it? Why do you think in the photo in Korea, the SUV is parked so that no one can see the front? What if the grille is only on the 4th photo and they removed the grille for the one testing in Europe?

yes. Thats Kue’s grille right there.

The grille is there. The lines are not small enough to be a radiator.
