The first official pictures of Kia’s concept car for the 2013 Chicago Auto Show are released ahead of its official debut. The Kia Cross GT is a large crossover vehicle that could be the replacement for the Mohave/Borrego SUV.

Save the signature ‘Tiger nose’ front grille, not much else about the Cross GT seem to be production-intended. It features small headlights, large wheels, massive gills, a fancy glass roof and all in all, too many curves and twists for a production Kia. But it has the making of a premium car, which can introduce the Korean car maker to a whole new market.

Kia is expected to reveal more details on the Cross GT and its purpose at the Chicago show.
