Overview

• Launch versions use a single 201 hp front‑motor with 58.3 kWh or 81.4 kWh batteries, delivering 0–62 mph in 7.4–7.7 seconds depending on pack.
• Kia quotes WLTP ranges of about 255 miles for the small‑battery hatch (267 miles sedan) and up to 380–391 miles for the 81.4 kWh models, with some UK trims rated at 362 miles; a 10–80% charge takes roughly 31 minutes on 400‑V hardware.
• Production is split by body style with the hatch built in Slovakia and the Fastback in South Korea, European sales begin this autumn, and U.S. sales are planned for early 2026 with the sedan only reported for that market.
• The hatch emphasizes practicality with a 435‑liter boot, nearly 30 inches of screen space across dual 12.3‑inch displays plus a 5.3‑inch climate panel, and extensive use of sustainable materials.
• UK pricing starts at £34,695 for the hatch with Air, GT‑Line and GT‑Line S trims, and first drives highlight secure handling, well‑weighted steering and a supple ride.
