![]() Kia is yet to reveal official details on the powertrain but it previously said the EV6, it’s first dedicated BEV, would offer a claimed range of over 500km with fast charging to top-up the battery in less than 20 minutes. We’ll have to wait until the EV6’s global premiere to get a look at the rest of the cabin design but the exterior is quite stunning. The bottom storage unit possibly gets a wireless charging pad. At the front edge of this central tunnel, it features controls for the heated and ventilated seats.įrom this angle, you can see that the bottom deck is simply for storage with two USB ports. It houses vehicle controls such as the on/off button, the rotary dial for the drive select (reverse, neutral, drive) that has a central button to engage park, and buttons for the parking sensors, cameras, and auto hold function. Most of the controls are on the upper deck which is at the same height as the front armrest. The EV6 has a two-tier central console tunnel. The only physical controls are the individual climate dials for each front occupant. So it gets a sleek control panel under the central vents with haptic touch for the climate control and hot keys for the infotainment system. In keeping with trends, Kia has reduced physical buttons for a more modern cabin experience. This suggests the EV6 should offer varied driving experiences, likely economical, optimised and sporty settings. It also has an extra button, under the spokes, for switching drive modes. The EV6 gets a new dual-tone two-spoke steering wheel inscribed with the new Kia logo which still has tactile controls in the form of buttons and switches. It also features a large display that spans from the driver’s side to the central console, joining the digital gauge cluster and the infotainment screen which is angled towards the driver. Also, Kia states it has created robust fabrics for the cabin using recycled plastics. This would open up more legroom in the front of the cabin but also allow the driver and front passenger to feel more connected. Here, it seems to have a flat floor and the central console is not physically attached to the dashboard. Kia states that Hyundai Group’s new E-GMP (electric global modular platform) that underpins the EV6 offers increased cabin space with new ways to utilise it. It has a clean-looking dashboard with integrated displays at the top and AC vents underneath. The cabin looks futuristic with its details but quite conventional in its overall layout. This angle also showcases how far the rear extends from the car’s C-pillar which should result in a spacious luggage area. Kia seems to have skipped on a sunroof or a panoramic glass roof for the EV6. The EV6’s wheel design is sharp and aerodynamically optimised. It has a rather clean design with only one notable character line between the muscular wheel arches. Its window line rises upwards to meet the sloping roofline at the rear which makes for a tapered tail end. ![]() The EV6 crossover looks quite athletic in profile with the swept-back windscreen. The gloss black cladding that merges into the rear bumper offers a good contrast to the white exterior. There’s also a roof spoiler joining the sloping roofline. ![]() Its LED tail lamps rise up from the arches towards the rear windscreen, like an integrated spoiler, and span the width of the rear end. You can also spot the front camera housed in the narrow grille and the sensor panel on the air dam for the EV6’s advanced driver assist systems.Īround the back, Kia has opted for a sporty look with the sharp design of the boot lid. The air dam design features several shapes and sharp elements for optimised aerodynamics to boost the EV’s range. This lamp and grille layout, which Kia calls ‘Digital Tiger Face’ will feature on its EVs, as opposed to the usual ‘Tiger Nose Grille’ design. It has sleek headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lamps which contribute to its futuristic look. The front fascia of the EV6 is distinctive from the current crop of Kia models. Let’s take a closer look at the EV6 below: The EV6 follows Kia’s new design philosophy, ‘Opposites United’, which will feature on all future Kia models, not just its EVs. While it’s slated to debut globally later in March, the carmaker has already revealed its exterior and front cabin design. Kia’s first-ever dedicated battery electric vehicle will be the EV6 crossover. While we wait on the juicy details of Kia’s first dedicated EV, let’s take a close look at its design ![]()
