Kia Motors has revealed its new Futuron Concept, an all-wheel drive SUV coupe which proposes new designs for future electric vehicles. With a design based around the notion of dynamic purity, the Futuron Concept merges elegant proportions with pure shapes and surfaces. Its lightweight SUV coupe body incorporates a fully-electric all-wheel drive powertrain, wrapped in bold yet modern exterior surfaces, and with a flexible, high-tech interior.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Kia Futuron Concept is notable for its pure style, smooth form devoid of ornament. The result is a sleek and streamlined shape, creating an aero-efficient profile. The front fender flows backwards from the front of the hood before plunging into the cabin itself, establishing a connection between the driving seat and the road ahead. The concept\u2019s roof is a diamond-shaped panoramic glasshouse which sits atop the 360-degree core, in the best traditions of UFO and flying saucer design.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The front of the Futuron features a new reinterpretation of Kia\u2019s \u2018tiger nose\u2019 grille, a signature for Kia design now for over a decade. While maintaining the basic principle of the design \u2013 a clear outline with tabs in the middle \u2013 Kia\u2019s designers have expanded the boundaries, widening the shape across the front of the car to create a restrained, yet elegant \u2018tiger face\u2019. The newly-designed front of the car, like that of the Imagine by Kia Concept<\/a> first revealed earlier in 2019, expresses a new design interpretation for Kia\u2019s future electric vehicles. The layout of the electric powertrain and incorporation of Level 4 autonomous driving systems has enabled the creation of a spacious and flexible cabin unlike any other vehicle on roads. The two front seats are created out of flexible materials and can offer an upright \u2018driving\u2019 position, or a reclined \u2018rest\u2019 position, similar to the flexibility afforded to first-class airline passengers.<\/p>\n<\/div>
