It charges faster than anything else on the road, and that's just one way Kia's EV6 car punches way above its weight class.
“Whoa.” That’s the actual word that escaped my lips when I first engaged Sport mode on the EV6. It could be used to describe most of my experience with the vehicle during a first drive event, though.
At the core of this performance is powertrain technology that in many ways has evolved above and beyond that of automakers like Mercedes. The most impressive part of E-GMP is that it’s an 800-volt architecture, which means that it charges quickly. The vehicle will support charging up to 350kW at compatible DC fast-charging stations. That’s faster than anything else on the road right now and is only matched by the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
So much room for activities Inside, again, it’s bigger than you think. The vehicle feels spacious. The large windows only enhance the mid-sized vehicle’s dimensions. Tall people should rejoice. At over six feet tall, I usually have to push the seat all the way back to drive. In the EV6, there was still room for those taller than me to sit comfortably behind the wheel.
The layout of the controls did take a few minutes to get used to, considering the vehicle’s interesting center console layout. Heated seats and steering wheel controls are at the end of the console. Once you find them, it makes sense. But, I’ll confess, I spent a few minutes trying to figure out their location.
Go go go Kia is launching the EV6 with six trim levels and a starting price of $40,900 . The least expensive version is called Light. It will ship with a smaller battery than the rest of the lineup at 58.0 kWh and a target range of 232 miles.
