Kia has been excellent at building cars that seem more expensive than they are. The EV6 is the latest entry. The EV6 is powered by an electric engine, the rear-wheel drive model produces 167 horsepower in the Light trim, 225 in the Wind and GT-Line trims while the AWD model increases the horsepower to 320. The all-wheel drive GT increases the horsepower to 601 horsepower. With an acceleration of 0-60 MPH in 4.6 seconds the Kia EV6 is quick and nimble. The range on the EV6 is estimated between 230 and 310 miles depending on the trim and drive type. The new Light long range trim impresses with a range of 319 miles on rear-wheel drive and 295 miles on all-wheel drive. Kia claims a gain of 217 miles of range with only 18 minutes of fast charging. Standard equipment across all EV6 models include LED headlights and daytime running lights, dual zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, AM/FM/HD stereo, Bluetooth, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, navigation, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and 5 USB ports. Stepping into the Wind trim adds ventilated front seats, proximity key, front and rear parking sensors, remote parking, and a power liftgate. The GT-Line features sport pedals, heads-up display, 14-speakers, surround view cameras, left and right blind spot view, and a sport steering wheel. The new GT trim has a more powerful version of the electric engine, a sport suspension, larger front, and rear ventilated brakes, 21-inch wheels, ambient lighting, sunroof, sport bucket front seats, sport pedals, and a heated sport steering wheel. Safety features across the lineup include 9 airbags, an active lane departure system, forward collision mitigation with cross traffic, rear collision mitigation, traffic information system, speed limit assist, pedestrian detection, and a driver attention alert.
