Lightweight components. Substantial design.
First seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007, the Kee is about driving: pure and simple. And the 4-seat sports coupe signaled that a design—and philosophy—transition was underway at Kia.
A pure expression of the performance coupe.
Sleek. Light. Sporty.
A sports coupe has to meet a criteria that’s innate in any sports car enthusiast. The car’s shape, proportions, and stance are all critical elements that in total must balance in such a way that they completely capture the audience’s imagination. With its broad stance and low profile, the Kee delivers an interpretation of the sports coupe that’s familiar but fresh.
And once the driver presses the starter button, the 197 hp, V6 engine immediately communicates that the Kee is a sports car that’s ready for any kind of road or challenge. By using lightweight aluminum materials or plastic panels where possible, the KEE’s weight is reduced. And with less weight, the driver is able to enjoy the truly responsive engine.
An exciting 2-door coupe with svelte, newly proportioned lines, the Kee demonstrates an uncluttered, pure, and timeless execution of style.
