Kia to showcase it’s SEED Car at CES 2019 in Las Vegas

Kia Motors beside previewing a range of new technologies developed for the post-autonomous driving era, will showcase it’s SEED Car at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019, to be held in Las Vegas from January 8 to 11.

The ‘SEED Car’ is a four-wheel electric cycle with a range of 100 km (62 miles) based on a pedal-electric hybrid system, requiring pedal input from the driver but with a high degree of electric power assistance to make it effortless.

The concept has been designed to make urban driving easy, fun and safe, while exploring how Kia could make the final mile of any journey possible with a personal mobility device.

For longer journeys, the ‘SEED Car’ is housed within the ‘BIRD Car’ – an autonomous shuttle vehicle capable of travelling further than the four-wheel cycle’s range capabilities. Once within 100km of its final urban destination, the ‘SEED Car’ is ‘dispersed’ to complete its journey.
