Designed at Kia's Namyang design centre in Korea, on a specially-adapted version of Kia's compact global platform, the Novo has a coupe-inspired silhouette. The Novo's minimal front overhangs, longer rear overhangs and fastback roofline, as well as a slim, long glass area, give it a raked, sporty profile.
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 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 gearbox to power the front wheels. The result is decisive, sporty performance and impressive fuel economy for Kia's latest star.
Although there are currently no plans to bring the Kia Novo concept to production, 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 lineup.
