The wraps come off for real for the new 2013 Kia Carens at the Paris Motor Show in September

Kia has released a few sketchy details about the new Carens compact MPV, which will be properly unveiled at the Paris Motor Show on September 27.

The design sketch shows low, sleek lines with a hint of a pointy nose – are we crazy or is there a hint of the Porsche Panamera with a touch of Citroen DS5 going on there?

The roofline is lower, the wheelbase is longer, the wheels are bigger and there's a natty chrome belt going on around the car.

Kia says the theme of the car is "dynamic space" – we'll be able to tell you just how true this is when the covers come off in Paris. The sketch looks pretty roomy as well as sharp, promising further improvements from the Korean brand that is going from strength to strength these days.
