Fresh off its official debut earlier this week in Geneva, a new report says the Kia Sportspace concept will hit production within 18 months.
According to Top Gear, a Kia spokesman confirmed that the Sportspace will become a wagon version of the Optima as part of Kia Motors Europe CEO Michael Cole’s plan to “enter segments that we’re not in to support our growth.”
Although the body style is extremely popular in Europe, chances are slim we’ll see the Optima wagon here in North America. The European market is also destined to see a performance version of the Optima, while a production version of the Kia GT concept is still a possibility for North America.
