Inaugural 'EV Day' sees debuts of new compact crossover and not-a-saloon four-door saloon
Kia’s electric car naming structure can be a bit tricky to follow. The first BEV we received from the Korean car giant was the Soul EV back in 2014, followed by the bland e-Niro a few years later. Then came the, built from the ground-up to be an electric car and, therefore, justifying an all-new name. And now it seems the nomenclature has stuck, as the company has announced new EV3 and EV4 concepts, alongside a production version of the EV5 SUV.
Let’s start with the Concept EV3, as it’s slated for release next year and will likely become Kia’s new cash cow. Compact crossovers are immensely popular, after all, even if a fair chunk of them are far from thrilling. The Concept EV3, however, aims to take the tech and luxury of its impending EV9, and scale it down into a smaller package.
Over to the Concept EV4, which adopts the same cabin layout as the EV3, only now in a saloon body. Only Kia doesn’t want you to call it that, claiming that its ‘sleek low nose’ and ‘long-tail silhouette’ are more reminiscent of sports and racing cars, meaning it qualifies as ‘an entirely new type of EV saloon.’ However Kia wants to label it, the EV4 will still go up against the, Polestar 2, Hyundai Ioniq 6 and other four-door EVs commonly referred to as saloons.
