The design highlights on the outside of both concept models from Kia are quite distinct from one another, obvious by the fact that while one is a small SUV, the other has a sedan body shape. The Kia EV3 concept, for instance, has a forward pushed windshield, a sloping roofline and a disconnected C pillar that links the glasshouse surfaces and gives the roof a floating effect. The wheel arches are prominently flared. On the inside, the concept EV offers a blend of style and practicality, boasting of soft mood lighting and an ultra-clean dashboard surfacing. Advanced ergonomic seat design comprises natural fiber structures to deliver a lightweight, slimmer seat design.
The Kia EV4 concept on the other hand, gets distinct character lines on its exterior body and has a low nose, a long-tail silhouette, and a technical roof spoiler. The head lights are placed vertically on the far edges of the hood and front bumper. In the cabin, the electric sedan concept sports a unique HVAC user interface that incorporates a control panel that can be stored in the center console when not in use, and applied pin-style air vents. Handwoven fabric stripes applied to the vehicle’s storage area and dashboard create a 3D effect.
The Korean company is looking at projecting both Kia EV3 and Kia EV4 concepts as valuable baselines from where to expand its all-electric portfolio.
