[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Kia's first dedicated electric vehicle, the EV6, sold out within a day during its online pre-order event in the United States.

Kia Motors America announced on the 9th (local time) that the 1,500 units of the 'EV6 First Edition,' released exclusively online, were fully booked early due to strong demand from U.S. customers, leading to an early closure of reservations.

Customers who completed pre-orders will receive their vehicles in the first quarter of next year. The EV6 Edition comes standard with features such as an augmented reality (AR) head-up display (HUD), remote smart parking function, sunroof, 20-inch wheels, premium audio system, and the 77.4 kWh battery.

Kia plans to sell 20,000 units of the EV6 in the U.S. market next year.
