Kia once turned heads with the Stinger, a car known for its sharp looks and fun drive. It was a bit of a standout because Albert Biermann, a big name in car design, helped make it. Sadly, the Stinger didn’t stay around for long, but Kia hasn’t slowed down it seems.

The car is expected to have a 370-mile (~595 km) range with nearly 600 hp.

Now, Kia’s eyes are set on something fresh and fully electric, rumored to be the EV8. This move is part of a bigger plan to push into electric cars, even as some other car makers take a step back. Kia, as part of the Hyundai Motor Group, is charging ahead, planning to bring electric cars that everyone can enjoy.

The EV8 is shaping up to be something special. Based on what’s been leaked, it’ll be built on a new, advanced platform for electric vehicles, suggesting Kia’s not playing it safe. The car’s expected to pack a huge battery, promising a range that beats many others on the road today. This could mean less worry about running out of charge and more enjoying the drive.

Power is another big deal for the EV8. It might come with a choice of engines, but the top option could offer some solid speed, making it a strong follow-up to the Stinger and a tough competitor for other sporty electric cars. Kia’s push into electric cars, with the EV8 leading the way, shows it’s serious about the future. The EV8 might just be the start of a new, exciting chapter for Kia and its drivers.
