Hyundai, Kia to debut new cars in China
[THE INVESTOR] Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors are poised to unveil a series of new cars in China in a bid to help revive slumping sales, sources said on Sept. 26.
The carmakers have been struggling with plunging sales in China since late last year due to a Seoul-Beijing row over the deployment of an advanced US missile defense system here, which China considers a security threat.
Kia will introduce the new Pegas subcompact sedan in the rapidly growing market, targeting urban Chinese consumers.
The company is also slated to unveil the upgraded version of the Forte compact car in November. The automaker put the fully revamped K2 Cross compact SUV on the Chinese market last month.
Hyundai plans to launch the all-new ix35 SUV, a localized model developed based on the Tucson SUV, in China by the end of the year.
A week ago, Hyundai introduced an all-new small sedan, the Hyundai Reina, in China.
