The Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD 1

Driving Kia’s EV6 SUV today. The Kia EV6 comes in four models. I drove the EV6
GT-line dual motor all-wheel-drive at $87,590 – powered by a 77.4kWh battery the
GT-line with two electric motors and weighting 100kilos heavier to the rear drive
models provides 239kW and 605Nm of torque and delivers a driving range of
484km which I found most accurate with a mix of urban and country driving.
Energy consumption varied and ran from around 15kWh/100km to
18.5kWh/100km. Charging, on a standard 7kW home charger around 71/2 hours,
on a 350kW fast charger if you can find one not in use around 20 minutes. I did
state this last week at 1 hour 15 minutes but was wrong. The Kia EV6 styling a
standout, sharp edge styling that gives it a premium feel and in my eyes it’s the
best-looking EV on the market. Large well shod 20-inch alloy wheels are tucked
right into the body’s corners provide a very roomy interior with great seats.
Despite an impressive dash and instrumentation the interior is somewhat bland in
terms of finishes. Premium spec’d however with all the driving aids and safety
elements and Kia’s 7-year/unlimited kilometre warranty. More driving impressions
in my next segment. I’m David Berthon
