We were impressed by a late prototype version of the car that we tried earlier this year, but now we’ve had a chance to sample more of the range, in full ready-to-buy form and on UK roads. The likes of the e-Niro and Soul EV remain strong propositions, and now the Korean brand is about to introduce a new pure-electric flagship to its line-up: the EV6. But the firm is pushing ahead with electrification too. Kia is on a roll with some of its more conventional models - such as the Sorento SUV, which has a healthy order bank and a waiting list that stretches well into 2022. Factor in great in-car tech and stellar battery management that’ll take you comfortably north of 300 miles on a single charge and you have one of the best EVs on sale today, at any price. It’s not quite as practical overall as its sibling, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, but it counters this with tighter body control for a slightly more sporty drive.
Kia’s first bespoke EV is another triumph for the brand, and a car that wears its £40k-plus list price with ease.
