Kia Motors Corporation has announced the launch of its new X-Car in Melbourne, Australia. The one-of-a-kind Sportage CUV was created in collaboration with Twentieth Century Fox and modelled after the popular X-Men character Mystique. Boasting a unique design with special textured 'tone-on-tone' matte and gloss blue paint finish, racing wheels and tires along with red and yellow bodywork highlights, the Kia X-Car and Rafael Nadal combine powers in an online video released ahead of this year's Australian Open.

The Sportage-based Kia X-Car is the company's second show car project in collaboration with Fox, following the Wolverine-inspired Sorento that was shown at the Australian Open 2015. The majority of the 110-strong courtesy fleet - 52 vehicles - is made up of midsize Sorento CUV. Also comprising the fleet are 30 Kia's Carnival MPVs and 28 C-segment Cerato sedans.
