where Kia is on a big electric adventure ? A few years ago, the Hyundai group’s premium brand, which had long been limited to diesel and gasoline, took a major turn. Gradually electrifying every model in every segment. Micro hybrid, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric : since then the number of models has multiplied. So much so that today the entire Kia line, with the exception of the city minicar Picanto, is electrified! She follows the same path paved by her a subsidiary of Hyundai, where only the i10 (the Picanto’s cousin) is not offered with an electrified option. But on pure and hard electricity, the novelties are completely fresh. Kia launched its own first real model in 2021: 5-door sedan with fake EV6 crossover look ! By a true model, we mean a car designed from the ground up to be electric, as opposed to a car Electric niro and soul derived from thermal models.

Electric turn and stylistic change

It a cousin of the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Genesis GV60 shows a very innovative style. She was even near the origins of a serious stylistic changes on Kia! A new logo, a new graphic charter and, above all, a new, more modern and innovative design. THE Kia Sportage, and more recently the Nirocontinued this revolution, forcing their predecessors to get rid of old age immediately!

But it will cope well with its arrival in Europe, thanks to its electric motorization commercial with us. Today, Kia tells us more about the EV9 series, its silhouette and some design elements that have just been revealed! Its form does not change either from the concept or even from the projectors.

They keep their own in front bright pixel designand behind these very bright LED strips in the shape of “3”. A long chrome strip seems to start from the base of the windshield and ends with a fold at the level of the quarter panel. Thus, the overall design looks more softened and less tortured only in concept. We will have to wait a little longer to see its final version. On a technical level, we are already talking about a range of 500 kilometersfor 80% charging in just 20 minutes…
