Pop! Electric Kia city car breaks cover

Kia will unveil this cute all-electric Pop city car concept at the Paris Motor Show in September.

The zero tailpipe emission concept car is around the same length as a Toyota IQ, but seats three passengers, not four.

While the Gordon Murray T.25's three-seater arrangement has two passengers either side of the driver, as in the McLaren F1 supercar, the Pop appears to have two up front and a third passenger sat behind on what looks like a chaise longue.

The all-electric concept car follows last year's Ray plug-in hybrid and the company's announcement of the ambition to become the leading supplier of fuel-cell cars by 2015.
