Rumour: Kia to launch Venue / Brezza rival in 2020

According to a media report, apart from the Carnival MPV, Kia is planning to launch a compact SUV in 2020.

The new model (Codenamed: QYI) is expected to compete with the Hyundai Venue, Maruti Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV300 in the compact SUV segment. The car could be unveiled at the 2020 Auto Expo, while its formal launch is expected in July next year.

The QYI is expected to share its underpinnings with the Hyundai Venue and could also be offered with the same set of engines. The report suggests that the QYI will get the Venue's 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and could get more than one automatic transmission option.

It has also been reported that the QYI could get dual-tone colour options and features such as a touchscreen infotainment head-unit with UVO Connect.
