- JAMES ATTWOOD

Kia has committed to expanding its line-up of small electric vehicles in the coming years including a new electric city car and a compact crossover as part of a wider ramp-up of its bespoke EV-branded model range.

The Korean firm will launch 15 new electric models globally by the end of 2027, which includes a major focus on the European market, with a goal of growing electric sales by nearly a third in the next seven years.
