Spy Shots Of 2007 Amanti!

Hi All,

Lifted these from the edmunds board. Looks like the front and rear clips have been reworked (even larger front grille).

The interior is redone and looks even more refined. Top half of dash is completely different.

I dunno, I kinda prefer the current upper dash more. Interesting.

Wonder if the new Hyundai 3.8L V6 lurks under that big hood???

Nice find.

Its going to be nice to see that car when they arent spy shots.

Thanks!

Looks like Kia fixed the front cupholders for 2007, they actually look useful for other than a can of soda.

Still no plug outlet for audio in from an iPod.

Great pics.
I agree about the upper dash. I always liked the current one compared to most cars. But perhaps we will get used to the new one as it's not too bad looking. 10 spokes or 5 on the wheels (?). I like the 5 myself, but let's see when the new Amanti is released without all the disguise.

Also...DVD Nav finally?
Let's wait and see!

thank for your good job to bring the new amanti pic

Thanks all

Looks like the '07 will have "Smart Key" feature (keyless ignition and automatic entry)

I like both wheels. Looks like the multi-spokes are 17 inchers and the 5 spokes definately 16". The 5 spokes are more sporty looking than the current wheel. Maybe they enchanced the handling to back up the new wheels as well?

The taillights look XG350-ish from what we can see, hopefully LED like the Azera's

This article confirms the '07 Amanti will get the 3.8L V6. Good news as this means much more power AND better fuel economy.

In my post with the second set of pictures; Did anyone notice the Brake Calipers are on the back side of the rotors (9 o'clock vs 3 o'clock on current Amanti) in the first pic??? This probably means major suspension reworking. The Azera has the same setup...

Also, noticed the Dual Exhaust on the rear shot
