Kia announced that on the rst day the dedicated website opened, more than 21,000 potential customers lodged online reservation for the upcoming EV6 model in South Korea alone. That's an outstanding result, almost matching the 23,760 Ioniq 5 preorders (in 24 hours) reported by Hyundai (also in South Korea). Let's recall that the Kia EV6 was unveiled on March 30, 2021 and will be launched on the market in the second half of this year. We don't know the number of reservations in Europe, but we guess that it will be quite high, and maybe even higher than in the case of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 that was very well received.
