From the Seoul Motor Show, in South Korea, the Korean brand has unveiled the Kia Naimo Concept, a small city car with crossover looks that houses an electric motor under its bonnet. The name means square shape, which describes its design very well.

At 3.89 metres long, it is a four-seater with a peculiar design, but we will have to see how many of its design elements make it to production. The rear doors open against the direction of travel, and it has no B-pillar. It also has no windscreen wipers, as Kia has replaced them with a jet of air that sits below the glass.

Under the bonnet it has an electric motor capable of producing 109 CV, with a top speed of 150 km/h. Its range, according to Kia, is 200 km. In addition, 80% of the battery can be recharged in just 25 minutes (until now the norm was 30 minutes). As a design exercise it is quite eye-catching, and it makes clear that the SUV aesthetic is still in fashion.
