Seoul: Kia Corporation, South Korea's second-biggest carmaker, on Monday revealed the design of the EV6, its first dedicated all-electric model built on Hyundai Motor Group's EV platform, ahead of its global unveiling later this month.
The EV6 is based on the group's own Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and developed under Kia's new design philosophy "Opposites United" that embodies its shifting focus toward electrification, Kia said in a statement.
The carmaker said it plans to apply the new design philosophy to all future models.
Kia plans to launch seven all-electric models by 2026, and the EV6 is the first model of the planned EV-only lineup. "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 Senior Vice President Karim Habib in charge of Kia's global design centre.
