Kia Will Enter Electric Pickup Truck Segment

March 5, 2022 – Starting next year, Kia will launch at least two new battery-electric models (BEVs) per year with a goal to expand the lineup to 14 BEVs by 2027. 

Besides the Kia EV6 – launched in 2021, and its upcoming GT version, the plan includes the Kia EV9 flagship SUV set for launch in 2023, two electric pickup trucks, and “an entry-level BEV model”.

The South Korean manufacturer noted that electric versions of mid-sized SUVs and pickups will be produced locally in the US from 2024: “In Europe, for example, small and medium-sized EVs will be produced starting from 2025. In the United States, where mid-sized SUVs and pickups are popular, electric versions of these models will be produced locally from 2024. In China, Kia plans to introduce mid-size electric vehicle models from next year, and India plans to produce entry and mid-size EV models from 2025.”
