Produced in collaboration between Kia Italy, Innocean Italy and Roberto Palomba (Palomba Serafini Studio), and inspired by Kia’s slogan "Movement that Inspires", the new installation was created to highlight the dynamism of the EV6 and Kia’s brand philosophy. First revealed during the EV6’s Italian National Test Drive occasion in November last year, it evokes the idea of a car that appears to be moving even when static.
The project was shared through three videos, first posted on a dedicated landing page on Kia Italy’s official website, as well as on Kia’s SNS channels. The first video called "Inspiration" helped to illustrate the genesis of the project from the artists point of view, while the second video called "Creation" focused on the realisation of the installation. The final video called "Installation" showed the artwork in its final form.
Further highlighting the EV6’s standout design and electric capabilities, Kia’s renowned crossover is also the first Asian vehicle to be exhibited permanently at MAUTO, the Automotive Museum in Turin. The EV6 has become part of the museum’s permanent collection within the exhibition centre dedicated to engines. The EV6 is on show alongside the "Moving Inspiration" installation created on the occasion of the vehicle’s commercial launch.
In March, the Kia EV6 claimed overall victory in the prestigious 2022 Red Dot Design Awards by picking up the "Red Dot: Best of the Best" accolade for its pioneering and forward-looking design. The all-electric crossover was also named winner of the Red Dot category: "Innovative Products". As well as scooping these Red Dot awards, the EV6 has also won "2022 European Car of the Year", "German Car of the Year 2022" in the Premium category, "Irish Car of the Year 2022", UK’s "What Car? Car of the Year 2022", "Crossover of the Year" at the TopGear Awards 2021 and the inaugural "Best Cars of the Year" Awards 2021/22.
