By far, the biggest news to come from the 2025 Kia CEO Investor Day event was the announcement of a new electric pickup truck for North America. However, the Korean brand had another tidbit to share. It’s working on a new modular gas engine that will power ICE cars and hybrids. In addition, the turbocharged four-cylinder unit will also serve as a generator for upcoming extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs).
