Toman voice Kia designers, and we explained through a press release that the Kia Provo, the concept that we will see in Geneva Motor Show, is a foretaste of a “possible” new B-segment Kia Now we know more about his technique and concept, the thing takes on special meaning.

The car measures just 3.88 meters, and according to its leaders “takes inspiration from cars like the Abarth 500, the Alfa GT and Innocenti DeTomaso” (yes, all very Italian). Its technical platform is the Kia Rio, something cropped. It has the everlasting 1.6 GDI gasoline direct injection and turbocharging, with 204 horses (the same of pro_cee’d GT), moving the front wheels through a dual clutch box. But that’s not all, as that the rear has a small electric motor of 45 horsepower to move those wheels, and also serve as a generator when braking.
Overall, the Provo could position itself as the alternative “chic” and “sport” of the Kia range, halfway between Rio and Kia Pro_Cee’d price, in the same way that the DS3 works that section for Citroën C3 parallel to conventional. Reception all depends on the audience you in Geneva Motor Show. And what can I count we like, but would have to see him dress production model, which would lose the huge 21-inch wheels, and many of the characteristic aesthetic details. From the result of the transition from concept to production model would see whether there is a potential commercial success. The idea sounds good, anyway.
