View Kia HabaNiro Concept Photos

Kia's concept for the New York auto show is called the HabaNiro (we'll spare you Kia's spicy puns), and it's a pretty traditional electric compact crossover-but Kia doesn't want you to think of it that way. It says the HabaNiro "can't be so easily defined," so we're going to let Kia's fairly ridiculous press release do a lot of the talking here. According to them, the HabaNiro is new category of car: an ECEV, or an "all-electric Everything Car" that's a combination of "commuter, crossover, sport-utility, state-of-art technology workroom, and adventure vehicle." Kia also describes it as "a wonder car" and says that it has "more advanced tech than what helped land men on the moon."
