Seoul Motor Show: Renault-Samsung QMX

It's the Quest Motoring Experience, and it's a version of the Renault Koleos mini SUV for the Korean market. And by Korean market, we don't mean the place where we get our coffee, energy bars and the odd onion or copy of Sport Compact Car. It's got Renault's spanky 1.7-liter turbodiesel four under the hood, producing 177 hp and 5,769 lb-ft of torque (or whatever). It also has hill start assist, descent control and a clamshell tailgate for ease of loading and unloading batches of homemade kimchee. – Mike Spinelli More »

Seoul Motor Show: The Hyundai Veloster Concept

Another day, another concept car from the Seoul auto show. This one is the Veloster, a surprisingly generic product of Hyundai's Design and Technical Center in Namyang. It's powered by a 2.0-liter four from Hyundai's Nanyang-based rally program, hooked to a five speed transbox. No word on what the Veloster might hearken, but it might be some sort of ur-Tiburon related to Kia's Project Snowflake. – Mike Spinelli More »

Seoul Motor Show: The GM Daewoo L4X

The amortizing of GM's Holden-built rear-drive Zeta platform continues on the Korean Peninsula. It's a rear-drive show car dubbed the L4X, intro'd at the Seoul auto show this week, amid well-dressed salarymen and the prom queens who sweat them. The pre-production model, whose design is based on several Holden models like the Caprice and Statesman, will become the latest GM-Daewoo flagship when the series model arrives in late 2008. It's powered by Holden's 3.6-liter Alloytec V6 (258 hp) hooked to a five-speed automatic transmission. – Mike Spinelli More »

I'm a Seoul Van: Kia KND-4 Concept

While we were sorting through the New York auto show's new releases, refreshes and free coffee that tasted like a composite of Bon Ami and roasted peanuts, news from the Seoul auto show was breaking. One such story was on a new concept 4x4 dubbed the KND-4. It's one of those "active lifestyle" jobbies, with high ground clearance, LED lighting, 20" wheels and a sharp-angled C-pillar only a student of Philippe Starck could get excited about. Inside, it's got the requisite metallics, indirect lighting and active-matrix display screen for the Blu-ray entertainment system. Diviners of automotive fate might say Kia's introducing a new global design language for its SUVs to match its new C'eed and i30. – Mike Spinelli More »
