Kia 's Curvy CUV

Kia showcased this electric Naimo concept at the Seoul Motor Show. The'crossover utility vehicle' (CUV) is powered by twin 27kWh lithium-ion batteries located under the boot floor, which drive an 80kW electric motor with 280Nm of torque. According to Kia, it will have a full-charge range of 200km and a top speed of 150km/h. An 80 per cent quick-charge (using 50kW) takes 25 minutes, while a full charge can be reached in five-and-a-half hours via a more realistic 3,3kW outlet. Design features of the 3.9-metre Naimo concept include a wraparound windscreen; an asymmetric sunroof; low-drag, 20-inch alloy wheels; and a three-way, split-opening boot-lid for Versatile access'. Further concept elements include dot-style LED lights front and rear, a high-intensity air jet in place of conventional windscreen wipers, and small, camera-integrated door mirrors. Much like the Hyundai's Curb concept from the Detroit show, the Naimo features rear-hinged, rear doors and short overhangs to maximise space in the four-seater city car. On the inside, Korean oak is used for the entire floor and the door panelling, and Korean paper is used for the headlining. In contrast, modern interior features include a transparent LED display instrument panel and full connectivity.
