Kia in 2020 had unveiled its seven dedicated BEV models by 2027. It has first unveiled its EV6 hatchback on its E-GMP platform. As we all know that Kia is going to launch a total of seven EVs by 2027. Their names will range from EV1 to EV9 and all will be crossover SUVs including the existing EV6.

Hyundai which is a sibling brand is also readying a new electric SUV and has confirmed that it will make its appearance in LA. The new E-GMP architecture features a skateboard style layout, it is oriented around a rear-wheel-drive layout and is designed for both modularity and production scale. The E-GMP architecture will be the foundation for future EVs for the Hyundai, Kia and Genesis brands. The Group projects selling 1 million EVs by 2025, when it will have 11 dedicated EV models.

The E-GMP architecture enters the market in 2021 with Hyundai’s Ioniq 5, followed by a Kia crossover and “a series of other models.” Hyundai’s E-GMP takes advantage of electric motors’ generally smaller size to create a platform with a RWD base configuration. Compact motor size and no requirement for a conventional longitudinal driveshaft enable easy configuration for all-wheel-drive applications.
