Not seeing the Flex resemblance at all, it's just your standard boxy 3-row SUV. Even the greenhouse isn't the same. You want a Flex SUV, look at the Rivian.

I don’t see Flex in the Rivian. The green C -pillar tells me that right there. Neither do the rear lights. The KIA totally looks like they copied the Flex

Their greenhouses are completely different and you can't even see the rear lights on the Kia, but somehow Kia is copying the Flex because they both have a joined black C-Pillar, which most SUV's have. Guess the Highlander is a Ford Flex copy too.

What, the color? lmao. Not even remotely similar in design. Maybe both having low rooflines, but these two look nothing alike.
