The Kia HabaNiro concept features butterfly doors along with a slew of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence technology.
"The HabaNiro is a genius work of skill and imagination," Kia Motors America COO Michael Cole said in a statement."Not only does its beautiful design incorporate the needs of future mobility, but its engineering and technology anticipate the way people will want to move in the near future."The highlight of the Kia concept is its upward-swinging butterfly doors which open to reveal a futuristic lava red interior.
The interior of the HabaNiro features a large full-width windshield heads-up display, bouclé fabric-trimmed front seats, and ventilation system that blows a"curtain of air throughout the cabin." The concept is also equipped with Kia's R.E.A.D. system that uses artificial intelligence-based bio-signal recognition tech to customize the interior space by sensing the driver's emotional state.The system also uses eye-tracking technology to trigger the car's rearview camera when it senses the driver looking for the rearview mirror.
The HabaNiro is powered by a pair of electric motors and is expected to have a range of more than 300 miles as well as part-time level-five autonomous driving capabilities. Unlike the near-production-ready concepts that dot the auto show floor, the HabaNiro will never reach dealership lots. However, elements from the concept's design or technology suite will serve as guidance for future production Kias."It's a concept.
