The brand-new Kia EV6 is the first all-electric Kia that\u2019s made on a dedicated platform that\u2019s made for electric vehicles. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This new addition to the market just might be the boldest and most exciting vehicle that has ever come out of this Korean automaker. We\u2019ve witnessed the evolution of Kia and have arrived at a place where this brand could lead the way in various areas of the market.<\/p>\n

A Few Things You\u2019re Sure to Love About This Kia<\/h2>\n

When you see the new EV6 and consider it as the electric vehicle that you\u2019ll drive, there are some things that will catch your attention. This vehicle gives a driving range of 300 miles on a single charge and offers ultra-fast charging capability to make it easier for you to continue your journey. You can select either AWD or RWD for your model and the EV6 is highly stylish to be one of the most attractive vehicles you can drive.<\/p>\n

The Ride Quality is Excellent<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll find a pair of wheelbases for the Kia EV6 which gives you the ride that will make you happy when you drive. The heavy battery pack is located under the floor to offer a low center of gravity, giving this vehicle impressive handling and stability when on the road. The agility you\u2019re looking for<\/a><\/strong> can be found when you\u2019re driving in the EV6.<\/p>\n

The Dedicated Platform Translates to Comfort<\/h2>\n

The platform used for the EV6 has never had to accommodate a gasoline engine and driveshafts. This means the Kia design team was able to use more of the vehicle size for the cabin to give you more comfort when you\u2019re behind the wheel. You\u2019ll love the look of this interior area and realize just how much more space you can have with a dedicated electric platform.<\/p>\n

Life Inspires the Design of the Kia EV6<\/h2>\n

Nature and life with its many contrasts are what the Kia designers say inspired the EV6. This EV is extremely stylish and will certainly give the lineup at Mazda a run for its money. You\u2019ll admire the smooth lines, the impressive lighting, and the practicality that\u2019s made to give you a fantastic vehicle to drive. The stance is aggressive enough to be fun and the curves are long and elegant, making for a seriously attractive vehicle<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Electricity Makes a Huge Difference<\/h2>\n

We mentioned the fast charging of the Kia EV6, now it\u2019s time to look at this a bit further. This vehicle uses an 800-volt fast-charging system that can pull power in quickly. When using a DC fast charger, you\u2019ll have an additional 70 miles of range in less than five minutes or you can charge from ten to eighty percent capacity in less than eighteen minutes.<\/p>\n

Power doesn\u2019t only flow into the batteries of the EV6, it can also flow out using the Vehicle to Load functionality. This can turn your Kia into a generator for your home or another EV to make sure you don\u2019t have to suffer during a power outage.<\/p>\n

Features You\u2019ll See in the Kia EV6<\/h2>\n

This electric vehicle is going to be fully equipped with everything you want to enjoy during your drive. This means you should have a dual-screen dashboard, full LED lighting, connected services, a remote engine starter, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and a package of standard safety features.<\/p>\n

These safety items should include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear seat reminder, and Safe Exit Assist. The connected services will include 911\/roadside assistance, battery status, charger locations, and charge scheduling to make it easier for you to drive the Kia EV6 with confidence.<\/p>\n

Several Ways to Power this Kia<\/h2>\n

Many electric vehicles offer at least two ways to have the power and driving range you want, but the Kia EV6 has four. The base, RWD model has a 58.6-kWh battery to give you 167 horsepower and 250 miles of driving range. Step up one level and you have an RWD setup with a 77.4-kWh battery that gives you 218 horsepower and 230 miles of driving range.<\/p>\n

Choose the two motor setup with a 77.4-kWh battery pack and you\u2019ll have 313 horsepower and 300 miles of driving. The GT AWD, which will arrive later, uses this same setup but is tuned to 576 horsepower although the range drops to 200 miles.<\/p>\n
