Complete Protection for Your Kia EV6
The Kia EV6 is a stunning electric vehicle that's winning awards and turning heads. With its dramatic styling and expansive glass, protecting your EV6 is essential.
EV6 Design Considerations
Unique characteristics:
- Aggressive front fascia with complex contours
- Large panoramic sunroof option
- Fastback roofline with expansive rear glass
- Shares E-GMP platform with Hyundai Ioniq 5
Protection priorities:
- Soft Korean paint needs PPF on high-impact areas
- Large glass areas benefit from ceramic tint
- Aerodynamic styling means every panel catches debris
