2013 Kia Tam Spyshots and Information

 WOW is word we say about the range of sub-compact car From Kia,The Korean is expand large in this segment.There have Rio hatcback (2 door and 5 door)and Rio Sedan that will get replacement this year.Apart from that, The Venga MPV debuted in  2009 and The Soul SUV in 2010.if that not enough because Kia is planing a new boxy Sub compact(b-segment) to compet with Nissan Cube, Toyota Bb and  Scion Xb.

The photographers captured this mobile box testing in the snow of Northern Europe and reveal a conventional boxy hatch design but with relatively in sub-compact dimensions.The concept of Box On Wheel like we found on many of Japan’s Kei car.The Tall boy design,long wheelbase and very boxy and simple lines.

Design of a space efficent in mind and influences certainly be taken from Kia KV7 van concept showcased last month at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Car advice told us that on the left side it’s a conventional rear door while the one on the right side is a sliding door,Interesting!!.Expect Headroom on the inside seems to be really good, taillights look a lot like the Soul, and some website predict that this may not be anything like a commercial model if one is ever released.What support these words is Nissan Cube is sale only a fews thousand in Europe last year and the Daihatsu Materia is not success too.

We don’t have information on the engine yet but our expectation is will be what they got in the new  Rio including four cylinder petrol engines;A 1.25 liter,1.4 liter to 1.6 liter with a 70 to 109 Hp.While diesel will be Kia’s ‘U2? power unit fitted with 16 valves and a Waste Gate Turbo. The 1.4 litre generates 90 ps and 216 Nm of torque which deliver maximum torque from just 1,750 rpm.

The Kia Tam, as it’s currently called( may change when release), will be launched at the end of 2012 as a 2013 model.-autoten.com
