Kia Pop

The Kia POP is an electric concept car that Kia Motors presented at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. It was developed by the European Design Centre of the South Korean brand in Frankfurt, Germany, and it represents the designers' vision of the future of urban electric transport. The concept is about three metres long, has chrome colouring, three seats, oblong side windows and front-hinged doors, and its designers drew inspiration from areas outside the automotive world in order to break boundaries. The interior is purple, chosen to express a calm and peaceful environment and inspired by a picture of a space shuttle. An electric motor with a power output of 50 kW and 190 Nm of torque drives it, powered by compact lithium polymer gel batteries that give a range of about 160 kilometres on a single charge.
