Exterior Features
The front fascia now comes with a new “Digital Pattern Lighting Grille” that features an available animated Star Map LED pattern. Once known for the “Tiger Nose” grille, the front fascia is now a “Tiger Face” grille, fangs and all. Designed with triangular fender flares, a swept-back roof, geometric wheel arches, flush door handles, and a longer wheelbase leads to rear, slim taillights. With LED headlights available, LED fog lights, DRLs, and taillights are also expected. Like the EV6, solar control glass, a sound-absorbing windshield and front door window glass, rear privacy glass, and automatic headlamps should be standard, plus an option to add a sunroof.
Interior Features
Able to offer six- and seven-occupant seating configurations, the first-row seats can swivel around 180 degrees and foldup the second-row seats to make a table, or the second-row seats can swivel 180 degrees to interact with the third row. Seats with 8-way power adjustments, heating and ventilation are also available. A floating panoramic dashboard offers a lot more space for the driver and passenger, two 12.3-inch touch screens integrated with a one 5-inch segment display make the whole cockpit digital with a new high-definition audio visual, navigation and telematics (AVNT) screen. Making the interior out of non-leather polyurethane seating surfaces, select BTX-free interior trim, and select fabrics and carpets composed of partially recycled materials embrace the more environmentally-friendly aspects of a BEV. With plenty of storage options for the front and rear passengers, there is an optional, full-color heads-up display and steering wheel LED lighting illuminates the Kia logo.
