Kia has revealed the first official images of the EV6. The EV6 is Kia's first dedicated Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) built on the company's new Electric-Global Modular Platform.

The Kia EV6 is also the first of Kia's next generation BEVs to be developed under a new design philosophy that embodies Kia's shifting focus towards electrification.

As part of the company's brand transition, Kia's new dedicated battery electric vehicles will be named according to a new naming strategy. The new approach brings simplicity and consistency to Kia's EV nomenclature across all global markets.

All of Kia's new dedicated BEVs will start with the prefix 'EV' which makes it easy for consumers to understand which of Kia's products are fully electric. This is followed by a number which corresponds to the car's position in the lineup. The EV6 will make its world premiere during the first quarter of 2021.
