South Korean automaker Kia has officially debuted the 2022 EV6 in Times Square. The EV6 is Kia’s first dedicated electric vehicle riding on Hyundai-Kia’s Electrical-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) like the Hyundai Ioniq 5. With that, the EV6 has inherited the powertrain configurations of Ioniq 5, and that’s a good thing.
Hyundai-Kia got it right in creating a modular, rear-wheel-drive platform that supports a second motor in the front. The EV6 also comes with what Kia refers to as the world’s first mass-produced integrated drive axle, a design that combines the driveshaft and wheel bearings to improve handling and ride comfort while saving weight.

First model to be launched under new IONIQ sub-brand to be underpinned by all-new EV architecture
Hyundai has confirmed that it will launch the all-new Hyundai IONIQ 5 in “early 2021” – the first model from the Korean car-maker’s fledgling pure-electric sub-brand that has been created to challenge Volkswagen ID models.
Set to be the first of three IONIQ EVs that will be launched in the next four years, the odd-numbered models will be SUVs while even numerals will be reserved for all other body styles, including sedans and hatchbacks.
