During a meeting with investors that took place not long ago, Kia confirmed that they will launch a pure electric pickup model. Now, the latest information from Korea continues to reveal many new elements surrounding the above initial news.
Specifically, Kia will have 2 new pickup models instead of one as previously rumored. One of them uses an all-electric chassis and the other runs a chassis with a regular internal combustion engine. Earlier information said that the company only had one pickup truck but had both motor and engine versions.
In addition, it is highly likely that the all-electric pickup will be a large size for markets that prefer this segment such as North America while a mid-sized internal combustion engine truck will serve developing regions.
Prediction of Kia pickup design.
In 2004, Kia revealed a KCV-4 Mojave pickup concept but did not materialize, instead offering a domestic SUV model Mohave/Borrego. This time with the help of electrified powertrain technology and fueled by the success of new pickups appearing on the market like the Hyundai Santa Cruz, Kia seems to have decided to conquer this segment.
Both Kia pickup models are expected to launch in the period after 2024 – when Kia adds the EV9 flagship SUV line to the global lineup.
