Kia Bringing New Electric Pickup Truck To US Market To Challenge the Tacoma And Ranger

Kia Motors says it is developing a new battery-electric pickup specifically for North America. The pickup is based on a new BEV platform “designed for both urban and outdoor use.”

 

During its investor day, the South Korean automaker says the new BEV will feature a “robust towing system,” advanced infotainment features and off-roading capability and features.

 

Kia does not specify the size-class of the pickup, but it is expected to be midsize rather than a fullsize truck. The automaker says it intends to sell 90,000 units a year.
