NEVS has started for The presentation at the CES Asia in Shanghai next Wednesday.
For that they have posted a mysterious picture on Instagram and Facebook.
I have no clue what we are looking at, but I think it is smaller than one might think.

As Jacko already noticed, yesterday NEVS published some pictures of the real cars on their WeChat channel. This seems to be for their Chinese public only as the text is only in Chinese, but nevertheless the pictures are interesting for all of us.
The pictures don’t show nothing that we didn’t know, but as I expected the proportions of the car look better than on the CGIs, most of all the hood.
Nevertheless, the pictures on the wall show some details of the still unknown interior, like this full-sized sun-roof.
On the background can also be seen a picture of the dashboard, but because of the low resolution of the pictures it’s not much to see there. But it looks like a big screen where the radio used to be and new AC-controls. The steering wheels also looks different, but maybe is just my imagination.
There is also a Chinese site optimised for mobile devices, that seems to be related to NEVS, at least the design fits, which is showing an somehow interesting video.
It begins with the Ur-SAAB then makes a jump too the Phoenix Concept, then you can see the front of the NEVS 9-3 EV and at the end you see something strange, with proportions that don’t feel like a car or even a self driven pod. So it will be interesting what this “thing” stands for.

Plenty of pics available already…
Good pics there, Jacko. Do they give any insight into the above photo?
I haven’t found the connection between both, not even between the picture and the “pod” in the video.
Thank you for the hint.
Red J, by smaller do you mean a small piece of something (say a car) or perhaps a car smaller than the 9-3?
I’ve read many comments on facebook talking about it being part of a pod, but I think it is a detail view of a part of a car.
My guess is that it shows the top of a small comuter vehicle with room for 1-2 persons. We see the white rear and the glassed cockpit.
I guess the pic shows a small commuter vehicle for 1-2 persons. We see the white rear and the all glassed driver/passenger part.
Your answer is only 50% correct. It is a commuting or urban pod for up to 4 people.
Really good work NEVS. I am impressed and convinced regarding the redesign of the old good looking 9-3. I would order one right away if only I had somewhere to charge it.
