After showcasing its full EV lineup for the first time, Kia<\/a> said it will \u201ctake the lead\u201d as the industry shifts to electric. Kia will offer an electric vehicle across nearly every segment with the new EV2, EV5, and several more.<\/p>\n

Kia wants to take the EV lead with its new lineup<\/h2>\n

The South Korean automaker has already carved a niche for itself with the EV3, EV6, and EV9, but Kia has much bigger plans.<\/p>\n

Kia returned to the IAA Mobility Show<\/a> after a four-year hiatus in a big way, showcasing its entire European EV lineup for the first time.<\/p>\n

At the event, we got a closer look at the upcoming EV2, Kia\u2019s smallest and most affordable electric car, and the new EV5, a midsize electric SUV set to face off against the Tesla Model Y.<\/p>\n

The EV5, which will launch across Europe later this year, is arriving in the region\u2019s largest and fastest-growing segment. Kia already opened EV5 orders<\/a> in the UK earlier this month, starting at \u00a339,295 ($53,000). Powered by an 81.4 kWh battery, the electric SUV offers up to 329 miles of range.<\/p>\n

Kia also gave us a closer look at the Concept EV2. The production version of the new entry-level EV is set to launch in Europe next year, following the EV5 and EV4.<\/p>\n

The EV4, Kia\u2019s first hatchback, was showcased at the event. Kia is building the electric hatch in Slovakia<\/a> as its first European-made EV. It\u2019s available in the UK, starting at \u00a334,695 ($47,700).<\/p>\n

Kia also showed off its sporty \u201cGT\u201d models, including the EV9 GT and new EV6 GT, the most dynamic EV it has ever made with 641 horsepower.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not all. Kia used the opportunity to show off its first electric van, the PV5. The PV5 is currently available in Passenger and Cargo variants<\/a>, but Kia plans to launch several new variants, including an open-bed (like a pickup) and light camper.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re at the Munich Motor Show, stop by Kia\u2019s exhibition, and you can test drive the EV3, new EV6, EV6 GT, and the EV9 to see it for yourself.<\/p>\n

Kia said it \u201cwill take the lead in popularising EVs\u201d as it continues to expand its lineup with an electric option for nearly everyone.<\/p>\n

The EV3 was the best-selling retail EV<\/a> in the UK in the first half of the year. With the Sportage-sized EV5 and EV4 rolling out, Kia aims to take the EV lead in other parts of Europe.<\/p>\n
