JAKARTA - Kia recently announced plans to reveal its global vision and strategy in terms of electric vehicles (EVs) at the 'EV Day' event which will take place on October 12 in Yeoju, South Korea.

In addition to providing insight into their future plans, the manufacturer will also showcase five electric vehicle models that have been introduced on Wednesday, October 4.

These five models will be the center of attention in the event, including models such as EV5, EV6 GT, and EV9, which are part of the early ranks of Kia electric vehicles. However, there are two other models that will be further disclosed next week.

In the images released, one of the models is between EV6 GT and EV5, but it is still difficult to identify. Meanwhile, a subcompact SUV model appears to be in the middle of EV5 and EV9, known as EV3.

Kia EV3's presence is reinforced by preview images and characteristics of the lights that have previously been leaked to the public. It also corresponds to more compact vehicle dimensions compared to other models, as seen in teaser images released by manufacturers.

In addition to showing off these models, Kia also plans to provide more detailed information about EV5 in this event.

As part of the event, Kia will present various keynote speakers who will discuss important topics related to their transition to providing sustainable mobility solutions. The topics will include Kia's electric vehicle strategy, "Opposites United" design philosophy, innovation in customer experience strategies (CX), and the introduction of new products.

Thus, Kia joins their corporate brothers, such as Genesis and Hyundai, in their move towards the world of electric vehicles completely. By 2025, Genesis plans to only produce fully electric-models, and Hyundai Group has also set a target production of two million electric cars annually for Hyundai and Genesis brands, as well as 1.6 million electric cars for the Kia brand by 2030.
