Kia and Hyundai will invest no less than $18 billion in their transformations to companies selling only electric vehicles somewhere around the end of this decade. As part of their strategies, the South Korean manufacturers will develop an all-new electric vehicle architecture, which will reportedly support one of the industry’s largest batteries. The first production model to be based on that platform should be a Kia-branded sedan.
According to a new report from ET News, the project name of that vehicle is GT1 and it is expected to be positioned in the mid-size segment, likely as an ideological successor to the Stinger. Actually, the report claims it will be an E-segment vehicle according to Europe’s classification, which probably means it will be slightly larger than the current Stinger in terms of exterior dimensions.
