Let’s look at KIA EV6 first, which is a high-performance pure electric coupe imported by KIA. Using the latest "Opposites United" design concept, the whole vehicle presents a distinct Crossover style. The front of the car has sharp lines, the headlights are flattened, and the three-stage air intake is matched with the aerodynamic suite to create a sporty atmosphere.

EV6 has officially announced the selling price, and launched three models in total, with the selling price range of 282,800-419,800 yuan.
On the side of the car body, KIA EV6 uses a hidden door handle, with exclusive 21-inch dynamic wheels and fluorescent brake calipers to set off the sporty atmosphere. In the rear part, KIA EV6 is equipped with a spoiler tail, a three-dimensional penetrating taillight group and a bottom diffuser. The fighting effect and face value are full, which is very in line with the preferences of young people.
The interior layout of EV6 is not as radical as its appearance. The conjoined screen with knob shifting can save a lot of space. It is worth mentioning that EV6 is equipped with an integrated sports seat, which can provide good wrapping and support. At the same time, various environmentally friendly materials such as recyclable materials and linseed extract are used in cushions and door panels, which are low-carbon and reduce the odor inside the car again.
In the vehicle system, KIA EV6 is equipped with KIA’s innovative vehicle interconnection system "Kia Connect", which supports the functions of finding the location and charging price of electric vehicle charging stations. Kia also began to pay attention to improving the level of intelligent cockpit.

Looking at Kia EV5 again, from the appearance of the Shanghai foreign version of EV5 at the Shanghai Auto Show to the pre-sale of the domestic version, it is not difficult to see that Kia attaches importance to the China market, and the localization is going quite smoothly. Kia EV5 was born on the special platform of Kia pure trams, and positioned as a compact pure electric SUV. The new car retains a large number of design elements of concept cars, and its modeling focuses on personality and technology. Especially the style of the front face is very avant-garde. In addition to the penetrating lamp strip, sharp headlight shapes are also integrated on both sides, and with the large-scale blackening decoration on the top and bottom, the layers are highlighted and the design is more sense.
Coming to the side of the car body, KIA EV5 has a large inclination A-pillar and a distinctive triangular window style of the rear C-pillar, which reduces the wind resistance and brings a more recognizable design. Coupled with a smooth roof, the overall line looks very smooth. In the details, you can see the hidden door handle and low wind resistance wheels, which reflect the distinctive characteristics of new energy vehicles. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the domestic KIA EV5 are respectively 4615/1875/1715mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm.
