The first exterior and interior images of Kia's new BEV vehicle have just come out. Only electric drive for this SUV, which also wants to be a bit of a coupe. Let's find out together.
Here's how South Korean carmaker Kia continues its design revolution. The new photos of the # EV6 all-electric SUV were presented a few hours ago. It is the first vehicle developed on the E-GMP platform. It is a platform created specifically for vehicles developed with the Hyundai group's electric drive only.
The official presentation of the vehicle will arrive in the coming weeks, but the first photographs can already be seen.
The philosophy behind this vehicle is summed up in the words "Opposites United". Opposites attract, or rather they unite. According to Kia, in fact, from the contrasts and positive energies present in nature and in the environments that surround us, this new series of cars is born. The guiding spirit of all this is the positive energy that is released by the meeting of these forces, as stated in a note from the car manufacturer, which has been wisely interpreted by the Kia designers. The cars are therefore characterized by clean lines and muscular shapes.
This new philosophy is based on five fundamental pillars: "Bold for Nature", "Joy for Reason", "Power to Progress", "Technology for Life" and "Tension for Serenity".
Looking at the car externally, we notice a design that projects the Kia into a future full of hi-tech details . The optical groups have a clearly distinguishable light signature of an elegant and modern brand. It is referred to as the “Digital Tiger Face”, and it is a major revolution in the design of the automaker. The headlights also include a state-of-the-art sequential dynamic lighting system.
Under the headlights we also find a large air intake , which visually creates a very wide front. The side profile also highlights a modern crossover look and reduces the car's SUV size. The net lines are in fact well compensated in terms of volumes. The retracted windshield also gives the car a marked dynamism, making it look even slimmer.
For all lovers of alloy wheels , the latter are large and therefore allow the car to remain lighter and technically dynamic. The wheel arches are also made with a contrasting color to further define a muscular appearance of the car.
Even if in the final version that we will see circulating on our roads, there will be no completely blacked-out windows, this new Kia EV6 is certainly a successful exercise in style.
Finally, the rear has been optimized for maximum aerodynamic performance.
As for the interiors, they are very large and minimalist. The steering wheel has two spokes and obviously the gearbox in the center of the console disappears. The driver has a clear view and all instruments are directed towards him. The dashboard has a minimal definition with silver colors that define an even greater brightness. The latter color, well contrasted with other darker colored inserts, in the lower part, creates a greater lightness and upward perspective of the entire passenger compartment.
For the official presentation, however, we will have to wait a few more days.
