Expand Expanding CloseKia is following in the footsteps of Ford, GM, and Rivian as it prepares to “be reborn as a central brand.” With plans to build a second factory for purpose-built EVs, Kia aims to take advantage of the growing need for PBVs.
Expand Expanding CloseDays after sharing details of its trim levels and its own internal range estimates, Kia has followed up with the official EPA estimates for its EV9 SUV ahead of pre-orders next week. Here’s what we’ve learned.
Expand Expanding CloseAfter revealing a slate of new electric models at the brand’s EV Day in Korea, Kia is already planning its next-gen lineup. Kia will launch an EV2 electric car starting at around $30,000 that could serve as a worthy follow-up to the Soul EV.
Expand Expanding CloseThere’s no denying that Kia is on a roll with its EV design language. The spaceship-sleek EV6 still turns heads, and the upcoming EV9 and EV5 SUVs feel like a breath of fresh, boxy air on the staid sport-utility formula. Now Kia has a new EV concept, the EV4 sedan – and it’s certainly unlike anything else on the road.
Expand Expanding CloseI won’t lie: We don’t know a lot about the Kia EV3 Concept from a technical perspective. Like, basically anything. We don’t have battery capacity, range, power output, or even dimensions. It’s a compact crossover based on the E-GMP platform that slots in roughly where the Kia Seltos does at the moment, which should give you a sense of what kind of size class we’re talking about here. Kia announced the EV3 Concept at its EV Day event in Korea.
Expand Expanding CloseThe Kia EV5 was first announced in concept form last month. Today, Kia is releasing more details on the production version at its EV Day event in Korea. Nearly everything on paper about the car sounds great: a boxy, mid-sized electric SUV designed to comfortably seat five with 330 miles of range and attractive pricing. The EV5 will start around $35,000 for the basic FWD model and go up to $50,000 in the top-tier long range AWD trim. That pricing appears to be a global estimate from Kia’s CEO, according to InsideEVs, who attended the launch — so don’t take this as an indicator of US pricing. Unfortunately, Kia is signaling that the Inflation Reduction Act means the car may never come to the US at all (more on that later).
