“With EV6 we aimed to create a distinctive, impactful design by using a combination of sophisticated, high-tech features on pure and rich volumes, while providing a unique space as a futuristic EV," said Karim Habib, Kia's senior vice president and head of global design center, in a statement.
The EV6 is based on Hyundai Motor Group's new Electric-Global Modular Platform or E-GMP, which is the company's foundation for electric vehicles going forward. Generally, cars based on E-GMP can provide range of more than 500 kilometres (311 miles) on one charge, and accelerate from zero to 100 kph (62 mph) in less than 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 260 kph (162 mph). These are top figures for the platform; the EV6 in particular may have different specs.
There's no exact date for the official EV6 launch yet, but Kia said it's happening in March.
