Hyundai Motor Group, parent company of Kia, is a global automotive corporation leading the era of electric mobility, is opening the 2021 EV Open Innovation Challenge following the successful completion of the EV and Battery Challenge launched in 2020.

Kia America today welcomed the third class of Great Unknowns Scholarship recipients from across the U.S. The 16 scholarship recipients are planning to pursue a college undergraduate degree in one of the following disciplines: Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Arts, or Math (STEAM). They were chosen based on financial need, academic performance, and how they are inspired to make a big difference.

The introduction of Kia America’s first dedicated all-electric model – the all-new 2022 EV6 Crossover – continues as the brand once again partnered with the 73RD EMMY® AWARDS and NBC’s “America’s Got Talent”. The initiatives follow the May 2021 launch of the EV6 in New York City’s Times Square and will continue to not only introduce the EV6 to U.S. consumers, but also introduce the transformed Kia America brand to the U.S. market through an all-new, 60-second creative campaign that debuts during the 73RD EMMY® AWARDS.
