Kia No. 3 Concept to show

Kia No. 3 Concept - Due to show at Geneva '09

But Kia aren’t going to be left behind, and have unveiled a concept car (which they admit is a precursor to a new model) – the Kia No. 3 Concept – which will be at Geneva next week, and which was also designed in Europe.

The Kia No. 3 is a tallish, 5-door MPV with some pretty original features. Most obvious is the striking roof, with panoramic glass featuring a diagonal supporting bar and automatic sun visor. The new ‘Face’ of Kia also gets an outing, together with a funky-looking interior and sexy paintwork.

Hyundai and Kia are rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with, producing proper Euro-quality cars. The Japanese are reacting by going the Hybrid/EV/Eco route, but the Koreans will have the edge on price, at least for now.
