While the whole car is yet to go fully on show, the significance of something as little as a name can’t be overstated. That’s because this is the first of many specifically electric vehicles from Kia, with their own naming structure and their own style. Sound familiar, Volkswagen? Yes, there will be larger models to come, with numbers higher than 6 and potentially smaller cars denoted with lower numbers.
“EV6 is the embodiment of both our brand purpose, ‘Movement that inspires’, and our new design philosophy,” said Karim Habib, Senior Vice President and Head of Kia Global Design Centre.
“It has been designed to inspire every journey by offering an instinctive and natural experience that improves the daily lives of our customers and provide user ownership that is simple, intuitive and integrated. Our aim is to design the physical experience of our brand and to create bold, original and inventive electric vehicles.”
