Kia Cross GT Concept CUV on show in Chicago

The Cross GT Concept CUV is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 hybrid powertrain with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive. It’s a variation of Kia's parallel hybrid system – which sees a pancake-shaped electric motor sandwiched between the V6 and the gearbox. The hybrid powertrain generates 400 bhp (298 kW) and 500 ft-lb (678 Nm) of torque and provides a range of 20 miles (32 km) in all-electric mode. However, all this is theoretical because the powertrain is still in the concept stage.
