\u201cA revolutionary new Kia electric vehicle\u201d is how the CV (name not final) is being teased by the company on a dedicated section of its website in the United Kingdom. Launching locally this summer, the EV will be a sister model of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the upcoming Genesis GV60<\/a>. It\u2019s labeled as a \u201cfully electric family sports coupe,\u201d but in reality, it\u2019s going to be a crossover like the other two models with which it will share the E-GMP platform.<\/p>\n Kia UK is eager to share some preliminary specs, announcing the CV will offer more than 300 miles (483 kilometers) of range in the WLTP cycle. Fast-charging capabilites will provide support for a 10% to 80% charge in only 18 minutes, much like it\u2019s the case with the aforementioned Ioniq 5<\/a>. One other key spec released has to do with performance, with the company\u2019s British division claiming the 0-60 mph run will be done in three and a half seconds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Much like every other Kia sold in Europe, the CV<\/a> is going to benefit from the firm\u2019s industry-leading full seven-year warranty. The dedicated section on the company\u2019s website suggests the styling will take after the 2019 Imagine concept pictured here, so it should look quite interesting in production guise. The road car will serve as Kia\u2019s first vehicle developed from the ground up as an EV, bringing a flat-floor layout and a low-mounted battery pack.<\/p>\n
