We got our first good look at the EV6 last March and, nearly a year later, finally got to sit in it, drive it, and push every button in the cabin last week during a day-long press event in Northern California. It's the first Kia vehicle to be produced under the company's new Plan S electrification strategy and is expected to be joined by nearly a dozen other new EV models by 2026 - with Kia noting that "All dedicated Kia EVs will begin with the'EV' prefix, followed by a number that indicates the car's size and position in the lineup, not its chronological place in the launch cadence." And that's just vehicles built on the Hyundai Group's (which owns Kia) E-GMP battery-propulsion platform. When the EV6 arrives in all 50 states later this spring, it'll be going up against the likes of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Volkswagen ID.4, the Tesla Model Y, the Ioniq 5 and Nissan's Ariya -- not to mention Kia's own Niro EV and its brother from a Hyundai mother, the Kona EV -- also probably the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra when they eventually arrive as well. The EV6 will be made available in three trim levels: Light, Wind, and GT-Line.
