The design process of concept cars involves a combination of creativity and innovation. It is a space where designers can think outside the box and explore new ideas, much like building an abstract art exhibit. This process encourages designers to take risks and push boundaries, allowing them to create unique and forward-thinking designs. The use of unconventional materials and features, such as a spinning turbine-style wheel and solar panels, is a testament to the creative freedom that concept car design affords.
The design of concept cars is not just about aesthetics, "but also about functionality and feasibility." Designers must balance creative vision with practical considerations... such as safety and feasibility. The Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) and PV5 WKNDR concepts demonstrate Kia's commitment to innovation and its willingness to experiment with new ideas.
By challenging its designers to think outside the box and explore new concepts... Kia is able to stay ahead of the curve and create designs that are truly revolutionary.
Designing concept cars seems kind of like being back in grade school, when kids are encouraged to dream up things like a bedroom with a bouncy-house floor or a spaceship with an ice cream machine on board. At least concept cars have a chance of making it to production at some point, even if that timeline is a long way off. At Kia's EV Day in Barcelona, Spain in March, the brand unveiled a new modular electric van it's calling the Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV). The PV5 is the first in the automaker's plan, with four variants: Cargo, Passenger, Crew, and a Wheelchair Access Vehicle option. The designers pushed that a little further with the PV5 WKNDR concept, an EV made for camping and overlanding.
It's not as tall as a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van so it doesn't exceed 8 feet, and it's a bit shorter than a Ford F-150 pickup.
