Kia: This is how the EV6 crossover sprints 🎥
POWER-STROMER Electromobility comes with the accelerator pedal depressed. While the entry-level model of the Kia EV6 comes with rear-wheel drive and 125 kW (170 hp), the all-wheel drive version already offers 173 kW (235 hp).

The top-of-the-line GT model of the EV6 crossover is even said to squeeze a massive 430 kW (equivalent to 585 hp) onto the road.
With a larger battery and adapted drivetrain, the outputs are 168 kW (229 hp) (with rear-wheel drive and 239 kW (325 hp) with all-wheel drive. The top model GT even puts an incredible 430 kW (585 hp) on the road. Not even German premium manufacturers offer such a wide spread.
Range is 500 kilometers
In the top version, the Kia EV6 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and runs at up to 260 km/h. That's actually a Porsche Taycan Turbo. That actually puts it in the realm of a Porsche Taycan Turbo. Kia follows Tesla's strategy of increasing the fascination for e-drive in affordable segments via engine performance.
The batteries are designed for 800-volt charging so that up to 500 kilometers of cycle range can be squeezed into the car in a relatively short time.
Premiere of the study at the Geneva Motor Show
The previously Kia-typical tiger nose has been withdrawn in favor of the new brand logo and digital elements. This is also intended to anticipate the future development of Kia design.
In the development process, the Imagine by Kia study from the 2019 Geneva Motor Show served as the starting point. Here, it has been sharpened once again and given more tension and sculpture.
In addition, there is a trunk in the front
Ample space in the generous interior is provided by a 2.90 meter wheelbase, the luggage compartment holds 520 to 1300 liters and there is also a front trunk.
Unlike other brands, Kia has taken the trouble to enlarge it again for the rear-wheel drive variant.
Autonomous driving on the highway possible
A wide dashboard stretches out in front of the driver and front passenger, the central console hovers between them, and the steering is done with an elegant two-spoke console - when the car is not steering itself.
The Kia EV6 should also drive itself smoothly on the highway - under the watchful eye of the driver, of course, and with his hand on the steering wheel.
