Kia and Hyundai to build EVs in Mexico

Yes, I explored the Zacua a few years ago. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to meet several of my expectations of a vehicle. Both levels are two-seaters, which would make it impractical for picking up people at the airport or driving them anywhere. The cargo capacity is small which would make it challenging taking dogs to the veterinarian, etc. The charging system is limited to J1772, meaning no DCFC charging. I couldn’t find that it has any collision safety rating.

The Zacua seems to be a niche vehicle that would fit well for a daily commuting vehicle, especially in a place like Mexico City as it is exempt from no hoy circula. Unfortunately, my needs are not consistent with that niche.
