Kia EV6: advanced safety for peace of mind 

When driving with your family, safety is a top priority. The Kia EV6 excels in this area, offering a range of cutting-edge safety features designed to protect your loved ones. One standout feature is the Surround View Monitor, which uses cameras to provide a 360-degree view around your vehicle. Enhanced visibility is especially helpful when parking in tight spaces or navigating busy areas with kids in tow. The EV6 is an ideal choice for families who want to prioritize safety.

Kia EV9: spacious seating for growing families 

For larger families, the Kia EV9 is a fantastic choice, offering seating for up to seven passengers and plenty of cargo space. With 81.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity, there’s room for strollers, sports equipment, and all the essentials for family road trips. If you prefer a more comfortable ride for second-row passengers, you can opt for captain’s chairs, which reduce seating to six but provide added luxury and easy access to the third row. The EV9 is perfect for families who need extra space but want to stay eco-friendly with an electric vehicle.
