Kia compact crossover is coming to the US next year

Kia is one of the last few mainstream automakers without a compact crossover in its US lineup, but that’s about to change. Kia has confirmed that it will add a new compact crossover to its lineup in the second half of 2019. Kia CEO Han-Woo Park confirmed to Automotive News that the compact crossover is coming. It will also be based on the SP concept that debuted at India’s Auto Expo earlier this year. The yet to be named compact crossover isn’t the only crossover that Kia will add to its lineup next year. The Kia Telluride is a new three row crossover that will arrive next spring.

Expect this vehicle to be called the Trailster and to fit in between the Soul and the Sportage in size.

Any idea what the power plant is going to be?

I would expect it to have the 2.0L 4cyl. No confirmation on that yet.
