// About the Kia EV6
The Kia EV6 is a battery electric compact crossover SUV produced by Kia. Introduced in March 2021, it is the first Kia dedicated electric vehicle, and the first model developed on the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5.[3][4] It is also the first model to be named under the new nomenclature designated for a line of Kia electric cars, which will range from EV1 to EV9.[5] The EV6 is the 2022 European Car of the Year.

// About Tesla Model Y
The Tesla Model Y is a battery electric compact crossover manufactured by Tesla, Inc. Tesla unveiled it in March 2019,[3] started production at its Fremont plant in January 2020,[4] and started deliveries on March 13, 2020.[5]

It is based on the Model 3 sedan platform.[6] The Model Y shares an estimated 75% of its parts with the Tesla Model 3,[7] which includes a similar interior design and electric powertrain. Model Y offers optional third-row seats for a seven-passenger seating capacity.[8][9][10] The Model Y fills a smaller and less expensive segment than the mid-sized Tesla Model X.[11]

There were four planned powertrain configurations for the Model Y: Standard Range Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD), Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, Long Range with Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD), and Performance (with Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive).[12][13] The Long Range AWD model and the Performance model are currently being delivered.[14] The Standard Range RWD configuration was initially canceled in July 2020, due to the range (230 mi or 370 km EPA) being unacceptably low to Musk, but was orderable as of January 2021 (with 244 mi or 393 km of EPA range).[15][16] By February 7, 2021, the Long Range RWD appears to have been cancelled.[17] As of December 6, 2021, Tesla formally notified people who had pre-ordered the Long Range RWD that their chosen configuration is no longer available.[18]
