Here are the latest spyshots of Kia's upcoming premium front-wheel drive sedan, code named 'VG'. Due to make its debut in August 2009, the VG is Kia's answer to the Buick Lucerne and Toyota Avalon.The VG is underpinned by Hyundai/Kia's new 'NF' chassis and it will be more of a performance-oriented car than a luxury one. Measurement wise, the VG will be wider and longer than the Amanti; though it will not replace the Amanti as a successor to that, code named 'CH', will debut in September 2010. The VG will be powered by a 3.8L Lambda V6 producing north of 280 horsepower. It will be coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
It is definite that the VG will be available in North America. Pricing remains speculative, but we expect it to range from the high $20s to low $30s. More information will be available soon. Head over to Leftlane to view more images.
