EURO-SPEC 2022 KIA EV6 LONG RANGE RWD: IN-DEPTH REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Euro-spec Kia EV6 Long Range RWD is presented as a compelling and sporty electric crossover, rivaling vehicles like the Tesla Model Y and VW ID.4. The reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, particularly the rear light bar and ducktail spoiler, and a well-integrated, tech-filled interior with physical climate controls and a large central console. Positives include ample rear legroom, a good turning circle, and the intuitive 'i-Pedal' one-pedal driving mode. However, criticisms are raised regarding limited headroom for taller rear passengers, poor rear visibility, and the reachability of the touchscreen for drivers in their ideal position. The reviewer notes that while the 225 hp RWD version isn't exceptionally quick, it offers good range (528 km WLTP) and efficient charging capabilities thanks to its 800V architecture. Despite some ergonomic quibbles, the EV6 is thoroughly recommended as a tech-packed, well-connected, and recommendable electric crossover.
