By Kia’s electric vehicle lineup is expanding, and the latest addition is an electric pickup truck based on the EV9 platform. Recently, spy shots captured a camouflaged prototype testing in the United States, revealing its distinctive styling cues. Let’s dive into the details of this upcoming electric pickup.
The prototype, spotted by KindelAuto, shares design elements with the EV9 crossover. The front end features EV9-like headlights, while the rear taillights draw inspiration from the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The vehicle’s camouflage hints at a stylish yet practical design, and it’s equipped with rear bumper steps similar to those on the Santa Cruz.
Interior Clues
Although the interior remains camouflaged, glimpses suggest that the electric pickup may adopt the dual-screen layout seen in the Santa Cruz. Expect modern technology and a user-friendly interface.
Production and Market Launch
While the exact production timeline remains unknown, the EV9 pickup could potentially be built at the Metaplant in West Point, Georgia. Kia aims to expand its electric offerings, and this pickup could be a significant addition to its lineup.
