Would it not be better slotting between? I would have thought that the Sportage would technically be a C'eed Crossover, unless that is moving up a size

I just copied that quote ready to comment but you already spotted it. Odd.

Possibly...

The current Soul is underpinned by the current Cee'd as is the Sportage. I believe the Sportage is the C-SUV competitor to the Honda CR-V, Ford Kuga, MG GS, Ssangyong Korando, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Qashqai. Would this "crossover" model compete directly with the Toyota CH-R as a C-CUV? Will there also be a Hyundai equivalent?

Speed it up KIA

Hopefully it won't take KIA as long to get the Cee'd shooting brake into production as the Stinger (Kia Concept GT to Stinger took over 5 years). The only thing I don't like about the concept is the "pre-chewed by dogs" look of the seat covering material. As long as this doesn't make it to production (or at least is a delete option) it could well be my next car.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be on sale by March 2019 for you (and me) Bob Cat Brian!

If KIA get the shooting brake

If KIA get the shooting brake on sale by March 2019 and it looks like the concept, it will definitely be my next company car. Stunning vehicle.
