Kia will debut an electric city car concept called the POP in Paris. 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, accessed through scissor-type doors.
We don't really know much else, but there's a chance Kia will use it to showcase an electric drivetrain, perhaps for use in future city cars.
The company will also give the new Optima saloon its European debut, a car due to replace the unloved Magentis in the UK next year. It made its world debut in New York earlier this year (2010) and will come to the UK with a 1.7-litre diesel and a 2.0-litre petrol engine, both new. Kia has also confirmed a hybrid version will follow.
