Kia has released new images of its POP Concept, the three-seater compact electric vehicle created by the company's European design team and characterized by the asymmetrical layout, futuristic interior and original door opening system.
First previewed back in August, the Kia POP concept was designed by Kia's European design team under the direction of Peter Schreyer, Kia's Chief Design Officer, and Gregory Guillaume, Kia Europe's Chief Designer.
The design study has a futuristic interior that mixes organic shapes with simple lines. The exterior is characterized by the almost-triangular silhouette, with the side windows shaped like tilted rounded rectangles.
The original door opening system features an asymmetrial side-hinged rear door, while the side doors swing diagonally - a middle way between scissors and gullwing doors.
"A concept car like the POP could only have come from us," has commented Gregory Guillaume. "Designers very rarely have the opportunity to start from a clean sheet of paper and it's great to be in a position to operate with such freedom."
