Kia have been constantly at the forefront of the EV revolution for several years now (along with its sister company Hyundai). The EV6 was initially announced in March 2021 as a 2022 model and shared the architecture with the Hyundai IONIQ5, but with completely different spec/options. I’ve lusted after this car since I set eyes on it… but would it, could it live up to my expectations? Let’s find out…
We never got to test the first gen version of the Nero unfortunately, but we got our hands on the All-New 2nd generation – an EV we’ve always wanted to drive.
We loved the Kia Stinger GT ever since we saw it back in 2017 (a 2018 model), but unfortunately haven’t been able to grab a set of keys until now… and it was worth the wait!
Late last month Hyundai revealed the U.S. specs on the 2022 IONIQ 5 that will be available this fall, with a larger rollout coming in 2022. While closely related to the Kia EV6, they are very different crossover EV’s.
Kia officially unveiled their EV6 crossover in March, but no prices were announced at that time. It is scheduled to go on sale in the second half of 2021 – probably in the fall. Now we have the prices coming out of South Korea, with estimates converted to $U.S.
