The Kia EV6 has received a significant update and is now available in the United Kingdom. The electric crossover offers a range of features and performance options to suit various driving preferences. The EV6 is available in three trim levels: Air, GT-Line, and GT-Line S. The Air trim is the most affordable option, while the GT-Line and GT-Line S offer more premium features and performance.
All models are equipped with rear-wheel drive, but the GT-Line and GT-Line S are also available with all-wheel drive. The EV6 is powered by an 84 kWh battery pack that provides a range of up to 361 miles on a single charge. The rear wheel drive models have a combined power output of 225 horsepower and 258 pound feet of torque, while the all-wheel drive models have a combined power output of 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque.
The EV6 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 5.3 seconds. In addition to its impressive performance, the EV6 offers advanced features, including a large touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, and a suite of driver assistance technologies. The EV6 is a stylish and practical electric crossover that will appeal to a wide range of drivers.
The Kia EV6 Air, the base model of the electric crossover, boasts a stylish exterior with standard 19-inch alloy wheels, body-colored and flush-mounted door handles, and LED front lighting units. Inside, it offers a comfortable and functional cabin with parking sensors at both ends, a six-speaker audio system, black cloth and artificial leather upholstery, and a two-spoke steering wheel wrapped in artificial leather.
Stepping up to the mid-spec GT-Line variant adds a touch of sophistication with unique exterior styling, rear privacy windows, a solar glass windscreen, and dual LED headlights with adaptive high beams. Inside, the GT-Line features black artificial leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, alloy pedals, and a wireless charging pad.
At the top of the range, the 2024 Kia EV6 GT-Line S offers even more luxury and technology. With 20-inch wheels, automatic flush door handles, a sunroof, heated outer rear seats, ventilated front seats, an electric tailgate, a 14 speaker audio system, a head-up display, a digital key and fingerprint recognition, and enhanced safety features, the GT-Line S is a premium electric crossover.
For an extra £950 ($1,247), including tax, customers can also opt for a heat pump to improve efficiency in colder weather. Deliveries of all three grades are expected to begin in Q3.
