Kia will reveal an electric town car concept called the POP in Paris later this week (September 29). The POP is classic motor show concept stuff, drawn on a 'clean sheet of paper' and largely a flight of fancy.
It's a three-seat car only slightly longer than a Toyota iQ, which sits two up front and one behind - inside its purple interior, which is accessed through scissor-type doors.
We don't really know much else about it, but there's a chance Kia will use it to showcase an electric drivetrain, perhaps for use in future town cars.
The company will also give the new Optima saloon its European debut, a car due to replace the unloved Magentis next year. It made its world debut in New York earlier this year (2010) and will come to Ireland with a new 1.7-litre diesel taking the majority of sales. Kia has also confirmed a hybrid version will follow, though that may not be sold in Ireland.
