BEST ELECTRIC CAR IN AUSTRALIA? 2023 KIA EV6 REVIEW (GT) - EV TEST

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT is presented as a compelling, high-performance electric vehicle, potentially the best way to spend $100,000 on an EV in Australia for 2023. The reviewer highlights its "awe-inspiring" performance, capable of 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, and praises its striking interior and exterior design. While acknowledging the high price point, the reviewer argues it offers significant value compared to rivals like the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. The interior is lauded for its sporty and comfortable seats, premium materials, and ample storage, though the lack of electric seat and steering wheel adjustment in the GT trim is noted as a drawback for the price. Practicality is addressed with a 480-liter boot, sufficient for short trips, and good rear legroom, though foot room and headroom could be improved. The reviewer finds the driving experience exceptional, particularly in GT mode, with a well-tuned suspension and steering, despite some low-speed steering heaviness and noticeable tire noise. Efficiency is considered good for its performance class, and the 800-volt architecture supports rapid charging. Safety is rated highly with a five-star ANCAP score, though some features are trim-dependent. The reviewer concludes the EV6 GT is a "weapon" and a "bargain of the year" for those seeking a fast, yet family-friendly EV.
