Kia EV6 named Car of the Year 2022
Electric crossover fights off Renault Mégane E-Tech, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and others to be crowned victor in Geneva
The Kia EV6 has been named the 2022 Car of the Year.
The EV6 was crowned this year’s winner in a ceremony at the Palexpo exhibition centre in Geneva, Switzerland, which would typically now be hosting the Geneva International Motor Show but for its cancellation for the third year running.
The EV6 – the first Kia to win the award, and the third pure battery-electric car to do so – scored 279 points as it saw off challenges from six other shortlisted cars in a closely fought competition.
Runner-up was the Renault Mégane E-Tech Electric, with 265 points, while the Kia’s close relation, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, finished in third, with 261 points.
They were followed by the Peugeot 308 (191), Skoda Enyaq (185), Ford Mustang Mach-E (150) and Cupra Born (144).
The EV6 follows the Nissan Leaf in 2011 and the Jaguar I-Pace in 2019 as winning BEVs (though 2018’s winner, the Volvo XC40, also has an EV option).

Kia EV6 racks up another award – named 2022 European Car of the Year
The all-new Kia EV6 has been named the 2022 Car of the Year in the prestigious European Car of the Year (COTY) awards. The innovative all-electric crossover was voted the overall winner by a 61-strong jury consisting of highly respected motoring journalists from 23 European countries.
Initially listed for consideration for the top award alongside over 60 models that launched during 2021, the Kia EV6 made it through each of the rounds as the COTY jury whittled the longlist down to a seven-strong shortlist, six of which were electric vehicles (EVs). This further demonstrates the growing importance of electric vehicles to consumers as society transitions towards a new mobility future.
The Kia EV6 then fought off competition from the Hyundai IONIQ 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Škoda Enyaq iV, Cupra Born, Renault Mégane E-Tech and Peugeot 308, subsequently being crowned 2022 European Car of the Year.
“It’s a great honour to have won the 2022 European Car of the Year with the EV6, the first ever Kia to win this prestigious award. The EV6 is truly a landmark development that’s been designed from the outset to make electric mobility fun, convenient and accessible by combining a highly impressive real-world driving range, ultra-fast charging capabilities, a spacious high-tech interior and a truly rewarding driving experience. The EV6 is an exciting sign of what’s still to come in our evolving electrified line-up,” said Jason Jeong, President at Kia Europe.

Kia EV6 Grabs 2022 European Car of the Year Award
Kia’s first standalone electric vehicle has been awarded the 2022 European Car of the Year title, beating out six other finalists. Yes, the EV6 is the overall winner…
The new Kia EV6 has been named the 2022 European Car of the Year, becoming the first vehicle from the South Korean company to win the award.
Once the votes from the 59-strong jury had been counted, the all-electric crossover had garnered 279 points, which was enough to see it beat the Renault Mégane E-Tech Electric (265 points) and Hyundai Ioniq 5 (261 points) to the title, sitting atop an all-electric podium.
Other finalists that had been in the running included the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Škoda Enyaq iV, Cupra Born and Peugeot 308. As you can tell, electric vehicles (EVs) dominated this year’s competition, with six of the seven finalists taking the form of battery-powered cars and the seventh (the 308) being available in petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid form.

This is the 2022 European Car of the Year (and the cars it beat)
For the third time ever, a fully electric car has won the European Car of the Year competition. With 279 points to its name, the Kia EV6 has won the overall prize.
This also happens to be the first time that the full podium has been battery powered, with the Renault Megane E-Tech following in second place, with 265 points, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 managing 261 points.
In fact within the top seven only one of the contenders was not fully electric, this being the Peugeot 308 in fourth place with 191 points. It was followed by the Skoda Enyaq iV (185), Ford Mustang Mach-E (150) and Cupra Born (144).
One thing that makes this competition relatively unique is that it does not have any categories - although the runners up are announced, there is only one winner.
“We’re still independent from the motoring industry and we still have no category”, said the president of the COTY jury Frank Janssen. “We have only one winner at the end, we don’t provide a trophy for each of the participants, so that’s the reason why this prize is so recognized.”

Kia plans 14 pure-electric models by 2027
Kia aims to sell 1.2 million electric vehicles globally in 2030 and is embarking on a ploy to drastically expand its EV line-up, usher in enhanced autonomous driving technology and introduce new digital revenue streams.
The targets build on those announced as part of the Korean brand’s ‘Plan S’ electrification strategy two years ago and are broadly in line with ambitions laid out yesterday by sibling brand Hyundai. Kia’s overarching goal is to become a “global sustainable mobility leader”.
The brand has four primary targets for 2030: sell 1.2 million battery-electric vehicles, sell four million vehicles overall, roll out advanced connectivity and autonomous driving functionality to all models and become the leading provider of ‘purpose-built’ (ie produced at scale for a specific purpose) vehicles for third-party fleet operators.
The first of these purpose-built vehicles (PBVs) will be derived from existing vehicles, including a larger Kia Niro Plus derivative it will launch later this year. After this first wave, the firm will introduce a new bespoke EV platform for PBVs in 2025, which will be fully scalable to suit different applications.

Kia will launch two new EVs every year until 2027
The big plan includes two new pickup trucks and a proper entry-level EV. Exciting times
Kia boss Ho Sung Song has announced a fairly major future plan at the company’s 2022 CEO Investor Day, including an aim to launch two new electric cars every year from 2023 to 2027.
What markets and countries those EVs will make it to is unclear as of yet, but Kia has said that there will be two electric pickup trucks and an “entry-level” passenger car among them.
One of the first cars to launch will be the EV9 SUV that you see above. That’s set to arrive in 2023 and Kia has announced a few more details since we first saw the concept back in November last year. For instance, we now know that it’ll do 0-62mph in around five seconds with a maximum range of 336 miles. We still don’t know whether it’ll come to the UK.

Kia Confirms 2 Electric Bakkies are Coming
Kia has announced plans to expand its all-electric vehicle range to as many as 14 models by 2027, while also confirming two will take the form of battery-powered bakkies.
If you’ve been patiently waiting for a Kia-badged double-cab bakkie, prepare to wait a little bit longer. The good news, however, is that such a thing will eventually exist, with the South Korean firm having finally confirmed plans to launch not one, but two bakkies.
Interestingly, neither will draw its urge from a clattery turbodiesel engine, with power – in both instances – coming exclusively from electric motors and battery packs. Kia made the announcement when detailing its roadmap to 2030, which includes key business targets it plans to hit by the time the end of the decade rolls around.
By 2030, the automaker – which just grabbed the 2022 European Car of the Year award with its EV6 – wants to achieve annual sales of 1.2 million fully electric vehicles (EVs) and reach four million annual vehicle sales in total. Naturally, it plans to accelerate its transition to electric mobility by aggressively expanding its pure-electric product line-up. Starting in 2023, Kia says it will launch at least two new EVs each year, eventually building to the aforementioned full line-up of 14 models by 2027.
