Hyundai Motor Group’s Kia brand debuted the first of eleven all-electric vehicles to be made over the next five years on a dedicated battery-powered car platform: a crossover sport-utility vehicle that arrives in US showrooms in early 2022.

The South Korean automaker’s new EV6 will jostle with other new electric crossovers including the Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y. The launch is part of an industry-wide shift toward EVs in anticipation of higher demand and tougher carbon-emissions standards.
