Kia EV6
The EV6 is the first in a new line of electric vehicles from Kia. Size-wise, it slots between the Sportage and Sorento, but with a lower profile and longer wheelbase—as long as the three-row Telluride’s. Two battery options will be available along with a choice of rear-wheel drive (single motor) and all-wheel drive (dual motors) configurations. There’s even a performance model called EV6 GT that produces 577 horsepower. Maximum range exceeds 450 kilometres.
