It’s my pleasure to present you a design study of Kia Trinity sports sedan. The rendering was drawn by Lee Ha who has been a long time Kia enthusiast. Lee Ha is a talented car designer with nine years of car-drawing experience. His latest design study includes a series of design sketches showcasing a mid-sized four-door sporty sedan with Kia badge placed on its hood.
Kia Trinity sports sedan
According to Lee Ha, the Trinity sports sedan has been inspired by imposing exterior design of the lime-yellow Kia Kee concept, which has been first displayed at the Frankfurt Auto Show back in 2007. Among Kia fans and enthusiasts, the Kee concept has been recognized as a landmark in the Kia Motor Corporation’s evolution as it points the way to Kia’s sporty future.
Kia Trinity is a five passenger sports sedan that sports some very unique exterior design elements. It features an eye-catching set of LED day-running lights placed in the front bumper and a H-shaped signature grille. Just like Kia Kee, the Trinity also features a dynamic profile with striking greenhouse treatment and rides on a rubber-wrapped 20-inch alloy wheels.
About Kia Kee
Kia Kee concept is a two-door sports coupe, powered by 2.7L V6 engine. The engine mounted under the hood generates around 200 horsepower and is mated to the six-speed manual transmission. Coated in lime-yellow paint, the Kee is believed to be the first Kia concept car to be designed under Peter Schreyer’s guidance. It is also the first Kia vehicle that featured “the new face” of Kia, which has been already implemented across the entire Kia lineup.

I like the name of the company: Haleewood Designs. Get it? Lee Ha, Ha-lee-wood, Hollywood?

I also like the vehicle! Is this something Kia is looking at producing (concept or production) or just a design sketch specific to Lee Ha (and not connected to Kia)?

Lets see more radical designs. Thats what is selling.. Nobody wants to buy a box..
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:50 am
it’s not officially
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:11 am
Its ok but the 2 white squarish boxes on both sides on the Grille Area kill it.
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:12 am
Actually you can keep those if you raise the grille a little higher, or make the Grille Bigger.
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:14 am
Also slope the trunk down a little for a little more rear visibility. Other than those gripes, I think this is workable.
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:40 am
I think the white squarish things are supposed t o be LED Lights..
July 3rd, 2009 at 11:36 am
This is a very interesting render and the rendering style is almost immaculate!
.
Just a few things tho… the rear wheels in all three renders are off. In the front view the perspective is bad as it gets to the rear, the side view the wheel is just copied from the front and the proportions are off and the rear view the wheel just looks bent… its just a problem with the ellipse on the rear view. The grille is also out of perspective but otherwise the surfaces are well communicated and many thoughtful elements can be seen in the design. Excellent work!

Dreams….Dreams….Maybe for the next century….
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I thought Kee was designed 6 months before peter shreyer arrived at Kia… and he only added a new grill.
July 4th, 2009 at 4:51 am
Looks badass!
July 4th, 2009 at 8:44 pm

I currently am working on a revised version of this concept and a Opirus Amanti Sedan & Coupe So stay tuned.
July 6th, 2009 at 6:02 pm

July 6th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
hey!! haleewood i also have some kia inspired sketches.how can i possibly share them with you or kia.
July 7th, 2009 at 7:01 am
Thanks I’m glad you like it.
I would love to see some of your sketches. Email me @ Haleewood@gmail.com
1st of all start by making a name for yourself by putting yourself out there anyway possible from postings here and there and get to know people, like himi of kia-world.net
July 8th, 2009 at 7:01 pm

July 9th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Man i would totally get this car. It would show up Infinity for sure.
July 9th, 2009 at 1:41 am
Thanks guys…I’m glad you like this version of the car. Side and rear view to come…and a new sneak peak at Haleewood Designs Exodus Roadster for Kia?
July 9th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
So… not to splash cold water on top or anything, but is there actually any chance that Kia might be considering this as one of their next model? In 5 years?
July 9th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
in my opinion no. It a very nice looking car but i don’t see it happening. Haleewood please correct me if i am wrong, but you made this in your free time you don’t work for kia. The only way for kia to put this car in the market they would have to buy it form Haleewood and then do what ever they have to do.
Like i said before Haleewood if you do work for kia please correct me.
July 9th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
I only thought cars this awesome existed in my dreams…
July 9th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
WOW! I am a mother of three and this car looks great! My sons and husband love it & can’t wait for it to be available!
July 9th, 2009 at 9:03 pm

July 9th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
this car is great for anything! i can tell it’ll look hot whether i go out with my friends or just pick up some breads from the grocery store!
July 9th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Is this really going to be the new KIA? HaLeewood, you got some really killer designs. I really think if this comes out, it would be a big hit. The name itself says it all. The LED light really got me. I love it.
July 9th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Awesome designs! I’ve been looking for the perfect car that just spells out “SEBASTIAN” and this is definately it! Kudos to you, HaLeeWood!
July 9th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
July 9th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Sweet ride, Haleewood! I’m lovin it.
July 10th, 2009 at 4:30 am
this car really took me by surprise. Seeing one on the street is like god on the road.
July 10th, 2009 at 4:37 am
The grille looks a lot like the grille of the 2010 Borrego. http://www4.slikomat.com/09/0530/zx-2010-B.jpg
July 13th, 2009 at 5:26 am
isellkia…You are correct, that I do not work for KIA. I’m just a designer show casing my work out there in hopes for an Opportunity with KIA. So…all i have to do is wait. Thanks for your comments though I appreciate it.
July 14th, 2009 at 7:03 am
damn son looks sexy, finally you put that talent to good use, hope they use it lee
July 29th, 2009 at 4:41 am
It looks like an angry Puffer Fish on Steroids.. I want one!!!
July 29th, 2009 at 4:44 am
Gregory, are you any relation to Byung Mo Ahn, Kia CEO? I should already know this.
July 29th, 2009 at 7:53 am
i love the edges…. i love seeing a car with edges like this…. cool…
July 29th, 2009 at 7:56 am
Nu gu sim nika?
July 30th, 2009 at 1:21 am
Hello Everyone…Thanks for viewing. Show your support and lets see this on the road!
August 20th, 2009 at 8:00 am
@haleewood, the first sketch you drew, if KIA ever hire you as a designer, you should use that as a back design for 4 cylinder and for 6 cyl., you should use the back design from updated one. That makes sense i think. But i am not a designer or anything, but the updated grill looks big and awkward. I know you are still revising it, just letting you know from my perspective.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Thanks Jason…I’ll keep that in mind for my next rev.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:58 am
Your welcome. I wish you the best. Your future looks big and bright as stars.
