Kia’s continual improvements are getting noticed.
The 2022 Kia EV6, the first dedicated battery electric vehicle coming from the automaker, won one of the 2022 WardsAuto’s 10 Best Interiors & UX Award winners, being recognized for its modern, world-class interior design and innovative user experience.
Built on an all-new platform (E-GMP), specifically developed for electric cars, the EV6 features an awe-inspiring interior design with high-quality materials, offering comfortable seating for the driver and passengers, as well as an immersive user experience.
“We are honored to receive this award for the EV6, which represents an important step toward Kia’s transformative ‘Plan S’ global electrification strategy,” said Steven Center, COO and EVP of Kia America.
“The EV6’s modern, bold design elements and interior solutions thoughtfully integrated with intuitive technology reinforce Kia’s future-forward vision for electric vehicles.”
Kia’s EV6 CUV incorporated sustainable design elements when building the EV6, such as the use of vegan leather, 100% LED lighting, and interior parts made of recycled PET bottles.
Not only does the interior provide ample headroom and legroom, both in the front and back, but the front seats, rear seats and steering wheel are all heated.
The electric vehicle also features two 12.3-inch (31-cm) screens, the driver information screen and the center infotainment one, that combine in a curved display that lets the driver access navigation, entertainment, and vehicle information features. The Wards accolade acknowledges its well-performing voice-recognition system and advanced driver assist.
"The Kia EV6 is a solid overall value, with a stylish and sporty interior and highly innovative morphing controls that save space and reduce clutter," said Drew Winter, WardsAuto editor and judge. "That, plus its very spacious and comfortable cabin and top-notch materials, put the EV6 firmly on our 2022 WardsAuto 10 Best Interiors & UX list."
WardsAuto evaluates new or heavily redesigned vehicle interiors and user-experience technology and scores based on a variety of metrics, including design and aesthetics, comfort, materials, fit-and-finish, connectivity and infotainment, displays and controls, advanced driver assist systems and value.
2022 marks the first year that the 10 Best Interiors and 10 Best UX awards is now one award, setting a higher standard for automakers to bear.
