[ionutp]

Kia is set to introduce a new affordable mini electric car, expanding its lineup of electric vehicles. The Korean automaker plans to launch up to 15 electric models globally within the next four years. Their aim is to cover various vehicle segments, ranging from city-focused EVs to full-sized SUVs. The smaller models will primarily target the European market, and in addition to pure EVs, Kia will offer models with multiple powertrain options.

Kia’s focus in Europe will be on smaller vehicles, including a subcompact crossover called the EV3, which will compete with the Peugeot e-2008.

The upcoming Kia EV5 is scheduled to debut in China this year, followed by releases in Europe and potentially the US in early 2024. Kia remains committed to offering hatchbacks and sedans alongside their SUV lineup, with a goal of achieving over 50% of its global sales from electrified vehicles by 2030.
