				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.slashgear.com/tags/nissan">Nissan</a> pulled out all the stops at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show taking place this week. The company unveiled <a href="http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/releases/nissan-shows-off-multi-faceted-performance-lineup-at-2013-chicago-auto-show-juke-nismo-revealed" target="_blank">two new NISMO vehicles and new commercial vehicle</a>, one of which is a new 2014 370Z, the other a 2014 Juke crossover vehicle, and lastly a NV200 cargo van. Nissan&#8217;s NISMO cars are the company&#8217;s definition of &#8220;cutting-edge performance, technology, and aerodynamics.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/2014-nissan-370z-nismo-580x354.jpg" alt="2014-nissan-370z-nismo" width="580" height="354" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-268538" /></p>
<p><span id="more-268537"></span></p>
<p>The 2014 370Z NISMO comes with a handful of new exterior and interior enhancements that offer an improvement over the 2013 model. However, they&#8217;re mostly cosmetic changes that include a new front spoiler, rocker panel extensions, rear bumper, side mirrors, and rear wing, with red pinstriping to finish off the details. The car will have the same 350-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine when it goes on sale this summer.</p>

</p>
<p>The Juke has to be one of Nissan&#8217;s strangest-looking vehicles to date, but the company gave the crossover vehicle NISMO status at the Chicago Auto Show. The new vehicle features a modest performance upgrade, going from 188 horsepower at 5600 rpm to 197 horsepower at 6000 rpm, but it&#8217;s still sticking with the 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine block. The Juke NISMO does features some nice-looking exterior changes, though, including red pinstriping and black wheels to give it a meaner look. No pricing or availability details were announced.</p>

<p>Finally, there&#8217;s the NV200, which most of us may not be interested in, unless you need haul some cargo. The NV200 is Nissan&#8217;s latest commercial cargo van. The new vehicle touts tall rear doors, a low load floor, and a 1,500-pound payload capacity. It&#8217;s front wheel drive and it has a 131-horsepower 2-liter four-cylinder engine, which is rated to get around 24 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, which isn&#8217;t too shabby for cargo van. The NV200 will start at just under $20,000 and will be available starting in April.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week at the 2013 Chicago Auto show the next generation of KIA crossover vehicles has been revealed in a teaser image. This image shows a Cross GT concept vehicle with just a few details being revealed, most of them inside smooth lines and a laid-back feel. This vehicle has been tipped as a lovely Urban Vehicle with two-door action and next-generation innards &#8211; this we can guess while details involved are quite scant at the moment.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/original-580x363.jpg" alt="original" width="580" height="363" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-267952" /></p>
<p><span id="more-267951"></span></p>
<p>Another interesting choice by KIA here is the treatment of the photo &#8211; or concept drawing, shall we say. Here we&#8217;ve got a set of extremely simple yet stark colors that push against one another to create an illustrated look. In fact what is happening is that this Urban Vehicle is being masked as much as possible without losing the interest of the viewer &#8211; and the interest is what we&#8217;ve got!</p>
<p>This machine will likely be revealed within the next few weeks at least in part while the details this week stay in the &#8220;non-existent&#8221; category. The KIA Cross GT is shown here with emphasis placed on the &#8220;cool&#8221; factor while the forward-facing appeal. This Cross GT is being tipped as coming in at a larger size than the Sorento crossover revealed previously, this being suggested by <a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1082024_kia-cross-gt-concept-teased-chicago-auto-show" target="_Blank">Motor Authority</a> to leave room for three rows of seating &#8211; we shall see!</p>

<p>Have a peek in the timeline below for several entries in our massive Car hub, each of them blasting forth from KIA itself. We&#8217;ve had several test drives of future vehicle releases very recently with our man Cory Gunther taking the wheel down in Arizona with the new <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/2014-kia-forte-test-drive-luxury-features-in-a-compact-sedan-30267425/" target="_blank">2014 KIA Forte</a> as well as the <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/2014-kia-sorento-test-drive-luxury-inside-and-out-01267838/" target="_Blank">2014 KIA Sorento</a> &#8211; have a peek!
