At SEMA 2024 in Las Vegas, Kia America is unveiling two all-new concept vehicles. Designed by the team at Kia Design Center America (KDCA), these vehicles represent the brand’s vision for a future where vehicles offer unmatched adaptability, utility and sustainability.
Aimed to provide superior performance on and off the road, these concepts embody Kia’s commitment to innovation, style and environmental responsibility.
As stated, the Kia Concepts highlight the exciting possibilities for eco-friendly vehicles designed for rugged terrain and versatile functionality.
These are two unique lifestyle-oriented vehicles, designed to harmonize form and function. Each concept reflects Kia’s commitment to a responsible relationship with nature, offering exceptional adaptability and style.
The EV9 ADVNTR Concept EV SUV is an all-electric SUV with three rows of seats built to thrive off conventional paths. As Kia’s most adventurous SUV to date, the EV9 ADVNTR embodies the spirit of exploration and independence. This concept has a modified front and rear, creating a rugged look suitable for extreme environments.
Features include a 3-inch lift kit and rugged tires that maximize off-road performance, ensuring riders can tackle challenging terrain with confidence.
Reinforced folding panels increase durability, while new elements add a distinctive, aggressive look.
Designed for versatility, the roof rack can accommodate luggage, a tent and more, ideal for weekend getaways or spontaneous outdoor excursions.
The PV5 WKNDR Concept EV Van is based on Kia’s Purpose Beyond Vehicles (PBV) platform, which aims to provide flexibility for business and personal use.
With its elevated design and all-terrain tires, this van is the perfect companion for extended weekends in the countryside, combining practicality with modern adventure features.
The modular design of the interior stands out, while the highly adaptable cabin allows for easy customization, making it a true “Swiss Army Knife” on wheels.
The “Gear Head” function offers protected storage outside the vehicle, freeing up interior space while keeping essential equipment accessible outside the vehicle. It can also function as a mobile pantry for those who enjoy cooking in scenic locations.
Solar panels and hydro turbine wheels provide battery charging options, enabling self-sufficiency in remote locations.
The versatile compressor allows users to adjust tire pressure for rough trails or inflate air mattresses for camping.
The PV5 WKNDR EV Van is designed to support a variety of outdoor activities with sustainability, practicality and functionality at its core.
Kia’s concept vehicles at SEMA 2024 represent a bold step toward sustainable adventure and adaptive functionality. Designed for those who crave an outdoor experience without compromising on modern conveniences, both the EV9 ADVNTR SUV and the PV5 WKNDR EV Van highlight Kia’s commitment to creating vehicles that respect nature and enhance the user experience.
