<< Prev Page 2 of 2 Designed as a sanctuary from the frenzied outside world, the Kia Novo's cabin is a relaxing space in which to temporarily escape the stresses and strains of modern life. Focused solely on the driver, the minimalist interior provides few distractions from the task of driving, while all occupants benefit from plenty of space, a result of the car's long body and intelligent packaging. The long, wide dashboard, whose sharp lines are embellished with the use of leather, stitching and aluminium highlights, is angled towards the driver. The instrument binnacle shows relevant information through a compact three-dimensional hologram display, while a 'blind control' touch pad next to the steering wheel allows drivers to control the car's many functions without having to take their eyes off the road ahead. The touch pad incorporates a fingerprint scanner, which automatically sets up elements of the car according to the driver's preferences, such as music selection, audio volume and the type of information displayed. A wide touchscreen in the centre of the dash provides the car's full range of functionality to occupants. As well as the neat, simple design forms that make up the dashboard and centre console, the interior's four individual dark brown leather sports seats add to the minimalist ambience of the cabin, each made up of simple linear shapes and featuring built-in inertia reel seatbelts to minimize 'cabin clutter'. The Novo is powered by the latest high-tech production Kia powertrain to match its dynamic looks. A 1.6-litre 'Kappa' turbo gasoline direct injection (T-GDI) engine has been paired with the brand's seven speed DCT to power the front wheels. The result is decisive, sporty performance and impressive fuel economy for Kia's latest show star. The Kia Novo concept is fitted with innovative new 'adaptive concave profile' tyres, with a sunken middle section between two contact points serving to cool the rubber and channel excess road water away from the wheels for greater grip. The unique 20-inch tyres feature two slim contact points on the outer edges to provide lower rolling resistance and reduce road noise, while contributing to provide a high level of grip under cornering. There are currently no plans to bring the Kia Novo concept to production, though Kia has a history of delivering production vehicles that bear a strong resemblance to concept vehicles that precede them. The Kia Novo concept provides a glimpse into Kia's plans for its future compact car line-up. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
