The main highlight here is electrification, with Kia planning to have 11 new EVs in its line-up by 2026 – a year earlier than previously announced. From that figure, seven will be built on Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) architecture, while the remaining four are based on existing internal combustion engine derivatives.
