Video preview: Kia No3 concept
By now we have seen plenty of exciting pictures previewing the all-new No3 concept car from Kia Motors. What we haven’t seen so far were some video previews, that ussually come included in the official press packs. While browsing for some fresh new Geneva Auto Show, we came across the Kia No3 video which shows the No3 concept driving in the parking garage.
The No3 concept is scheduled to make it’s official public premiere today at Geneva Auto Show. The No3 concept car previews the forthcoming Kia MPV, which belongs to the fast growing B car-segment and is expected to go on sale later this year or early in 2010 (Kia has yet to provide more detailed information).
The No3 is based on the same platform as the 2010 Kia Soul, meaning it measures about the same in size as it’s sibling Kia Soul model. The concept is 4045 mm long, 1760 mm wide, 1600 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2615 mm. Compared to the Soul, No3′s wheelbase has been extended so it’s cabin provides even more generous passenger space.
Stylish Kia No3 incorporates the H-shaped front grille, known also as a new face of Kia. The Nor concept was penned at Kia’s European design center in Frankfurt and features a very unique extended windscreen, panoramic glass roof, beautiful set of 19-inch alloy wheels and Titanium Grey exterior color… Stay tuned for more information and images on this new striking Kia concept!

The No3 looks awesome doesn’t it? Unlike other mini-MPVs, this one looks really sporty!

The H-Grille isn’t actually a grille, it’s a glossy panel… Hybrid? Electrical?

yea lol. just a glossy pannel. its not electric for one. the engine noise is definitely ICE.

It is a nice design, the car looks similar to many others from the rear view but it is very distinct and fresh in it’s front look. Large, attractive wheels for this car…also the panoramic roof is going to be part of the production car, too.

The video makes me like it even more.

I hope this is the New Rio since this is a Next gen Rio platform, The Soul and Hyundai i20 are on the same platform.

Scratch that, I might get one just for a tuner. An Obscene exhaust system would sound as racy as the way this thing looks.
