On display from Kia will be several vehicles showcasing the company's latest design language.
But the big news for the Korean company is the world debut of its outrageously eye-catching POP concept.
The all-electric city car measures just 188 inches long and features a huge, windshield that sweeps back to form a panoramic sunroof, diagonal windows, a glass hatchback and a single bench seat that Kia claims will seat three.
The Sportage returns, slightly larger and with all-new styling. Underhood is a 2.4 L 4 cylinder, or a 2.0 L turbo-charged engine, with a choice of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmissions.
Available in front, or all-wheel-drive with a front bias for fuel efficiency and a torque-distributing "Lock Mode" for greater traction.
On display, the newest Optima is available in a 2.4 litre base or 274 hp turbo-charged model, and a newly unveiled Hybrid reportedly powered by the same 169 hp, 2.4 litre Theta II engine/30 kw electric motor partnership found in the Hyundai Sonata. The Optima Hybrid is expected to arrive in showrooms in early 2011.
