KIA no3 2009 Concept in Geneva Autoshow
Rata PenuhKia will unveil this rather jazzy new concept at Geneva. Jazzy in looks and opposition too, as the No3 will take on the Honda Jazz when it goes on sale next year
This is the Kia No3 Concept, the very first Kia to be styled under the direction of ex-Audi scribbler Peter Schreyer.
The No3 is very close to a production car, with much of what you see here making the cut, except the mad glass roof and automatic sunblind. So get used to the looks, which are apparently inspired by a tiger – you can sort of see it if you squint at the feline headlights and Soul-style nostril grille, but the biggest big cat giveaway are the Tigger-esque seats.
But while the styling is fun, expect the usual dull but competent Soul chassis and 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engine line-up underneath; and a conventional metal roof to feature on the production car. Size-wise, the No3 is 4045mm long – 95mm longer than a Ford Fiesta, and 145mm longer than a Honda Jazz.
That means the No3 should be big on the inside, but it needs to be packaged brilliantly to take on the Honda, and drive really well to match the Fiesta – not easy tasks at all.
