History
History of the Kia EV6
The EV6 is the first electric vehicle designed from the ground up by Kia, unveiled in 2021 for the 2022 model year. This compact crossover with "crossover-coupé" styling marks the brand's electric turn and is aimed at urban and family buyers seeking performance, range and fast charging. Offered in rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive versions, it includes a high-performance GT variant. The EV6 helped elevate Kia's technological image and received numerous awards. On the tire and wheel side, it is generally fitted with large diameters (often 19 to 20 inches): in Quebec, a second set of smaller wheels with winter tires is strongly recommended to preserve range, comfort and traction, the instant torque of EVs making winter tires all the more useful on snow and ice.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS Kia populaires au Québec (Sportage, Sorento, Telluride) utilisent fréquemment un entraxe de 5x114,3 mm, ce qui facilite l'interchangeabilité des jantes entre plusieurs modèles. Les diamètres montés en usine vont souvent de 17 à 20 pouces selon les versions, les VUS plus cossus recevant de plus grandes jantes. Pour l'hiver québécois, il est courant de monter un ensemble de jantes plus petites (par exemple 17 ou 18 pouces) chaussées de pneus d'hiver à profil plus haut : on gagne en confort, en protection des jantes et en motricité sur neige. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte, l'entraxe, le déport et l'alésage central propres à votre modèle et à son année.
