Kia�s exciting all-new ex_cee�d cabrio concept car will be premiered at the 77th Geneva Motor Show on 6 March.

The styling of the eagerly anticipated ex_cee�d cabrio is the work of Peter Schreyer, Kia�s new Chief Design Officer, and hints at the future direction Kia vehicles could be taking under his guidance.

Based on the new three-door cee�d hatchback, due to go into production at the Zilina factory in Slovakia from December, the ex_cee�d shares the same platform, but features all-new exterior panels and a powered folding fabric roof.

By adopting a fabric roof, the ex_cee�d deliberately goes its own retro way rather than following the trend towards cabrios with folding metal roofs. Peter Schreyer paid special attention to designing a classic cabrio with a traditional soft-top roof: �I�m convinced that the fabric roof will have a renaissance. We�ve all lived with the romantic idea of open-air driving for a long time and for me, the fabric roof is the quintessential element of a truly rewarding cabrio.�

With its slight wedge shape profile, muscular wings over 19-inch alloy wheels, and aggressive nose with dynamic front styling, the ex_cee�d has instantly found a form that stands out from the cabrio crowd. The cabrio concept is finished in �meringue white� exterior paint with a �bitter chocolate� fabric roof � colours that are echoed by the interior�s two-tone leather.



�With this new cabrio concept car, Kia has once again demonstrated that it is a young, style-conscious company that knows how to combine elegance with dynamics,� enthused Mr Yong-Hwan Kim, Senior Executive Vice President and COO Kia Motors.

�The Kia ex_cee�d is a fresh aesthetic high-point in our history, an encouraging sign of the growing internationalisation of our brand and a step in the process of evolving into a European company with Korean roots,� he added.
