While KIA is doing some great things... won't survive Chinese EVs at higher quality and lower price. Already happening outside of US markets. US markets can only protect against higher quality lower priced EVs for a limited time as the US trade restrictions and tariffs already showing weakness in Mexican North American markets with consumers in Texas and southern states starting to take notice of sub-$20k EVs...
KIA has shifted to competing with Chinese brands by manufacturing its EVs in China and exporting since it stands slim chance to gain market share in China against BYD and other Chinese brands. But its pricing won't be able to compete with Chinese EVs ... so will have to show that the quality is superior.
Like it but too expensive
Wow Nice vehicle.
Wonder if it is rated for cold weather operation for northern Canada
It does have a heat pump, so it should be fine.
@@offtheshelfrides unfortunately most Heat Pumps only works at Temps above -15'C

With the Tariffs and Ban against Chinese hardware and software......they won't be in the U.S. anytime soon.
