yeah it’s fukin sick and makes em like half as efficient as a whole bullet imagine if we got put in bullet-shaped vehicles and shot everywhere instead of driving but the downside would be a lot of buildings would have comically large bullet holes in them from bad aim
Fugly from most angles.
A rare miss from Kia’s recently hot design team.
Remember back in 2016 when the interest rate on bonds from the Bank of Japan actually became negative? This is a similar case, where Kia would have to pay me to drive this thing in public.
Someone on the design team saw the geely farizon fx and challenged themself to make it 1) into a car and 2) worse, apparently. somehow a step down from the K4 sedan
I don’t mind the side profile. But the front and rear are just plain bad.
The headlight clusters eschew the bar trend and go to the other extreme of being pushed out to the edges just leaving vast expanses of nothingness up front and back. Which just makes it look cheap up front and bloated in the back.
The side profile is…something
The black accent on the D-pillar really hurts it. If that was body color it would have a much nicer roof line.
It would fix the roofline but it would still have those useless little winglets and overall disjointed design
For all the people who have been begging for an X6 with the proportions of a cab-forward Chrysler
"Did Bill ever get back to you on whether he wanted a hatch or a tray back?"
"No, haven't heard from him"
"Okay, put a placeholder there and when you hear back we'll sort it out"
It looks like a mix of a fastback, a shooting brake, and a wagon
There’s a reason all EVs look like a boat tail bullet cut in half.

The K4 sedan is a big oof as well.
what kind of website cancer is this
Pure cancer holy shit
one of the ugliest cars i've ever seen from the rear
The hatchback looks better, at least in the rear. What is it with Kia and making sedans that should be liftbacks? It's giving '70s Datsun vibes.
that does look 10x better
This makes a new Santa Fe's rear look good.
Holy shit you weren't kidding

A modern Pontiac Aztek :/

Gross.
The hatchback looks alright imo. I wasn't prepared for a fastback this ugly.
I like the crazy proportions, but I'm not a fan of the "folded paper" kind of surfacing on the new Kias

I dig it
Looks nice and modern.
Absolutely hideous - who is buying this thing for 40K CAD with a range of like 200 miles before the terrible weather takes another 30% off the top?

Making it a traditional trunk and not a liftback really killed this thing for me. Also no AWD.
It would have worked better as a wagon/estate.
Hyundai: "Lets make an EV with the worst possible looking side profile."
Kia: "Hold my Chimac"
It's like a crumpled paper grocery bag...
Discontinued the Soul and replaced it with this ugly thing with zero functionality.
Who decided to slap the rear profile of a Cybertruck on a Kia?
Steaming pile of melted shit.
