The electric vehicle market has been experiencing an unprecedented boom, and this surge has been a boon for electric vehicle manufacturing giants like Tesla and BYD. These skyrocketing profits have compelled traditional automakers, long accustomed to gasoline-powered vehicles, to make significant changes. Kia is one of these automakers charting a new course in the electric vehicle realm. Recently, the company has revealed that their first fully electric vehicle in China, named the EV6, will be available for blind pre-orders from June 28. The EV6 is expected to officially roll out in the Chinese market this August.

This approach melds contrasting shapes, structures, and colors to give the EV6 GT a distinctive and futuristic flair.
