Kia’s surprise debut for next week’s Geneva Auto Salon is a secret no more, at least in what concerns its appearance and name, after photos of the concept car surfaced on the internet today.

The car is named Provo and it’s a study for a sporty looking three door hatchback, described by the Korean maker as a “racy new urban concept“.

No other information is available on the Provo, but if you don’t mind us playing the speculation game, we’d say Kia might be cooking up a sporty challenger for the Mini Coupe.

The car’s athletic bodywork with muscular fenders and a sharp face are joined by an equally sporty atmosphere in the cabin, which features a flat bottom steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara, diamond stitched leather surfaces for the seats and space for four passengers (though, the rear area doesn’t really look like a comfortable place to be from these images).

We’ll update this post as soon as Kia comes out with an official release.
