2023 KIA EV6 GT

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Kia EV6 GT is presented as a high-horsepower, performance-oriented electric vehicle, boasting 576 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque. While the reviewer praises its aggressive acceleration, sharp handling thanks to chassis stiffening, adaptive dampers, and a limited-slip differential, significant drawbacks are highlighted. The primary concern is the reduced range of 206 miles compared to standard EV6 models, leading to potential range anxiety for daily use. The reviewer also notes the cabin's surprising level of road and wind noise and expresses reservations about the aesthetic of the neon green brake calipers, particularly with the red exterior color. Interior features like manual sport bucket seats and the lack of ventilated seats are mentioned as cost-saving measures. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer acknowledges the GT's superior performance over other EV6 trims and suggests it's best suited as a weekend "toy" for those with the budget, rather than a primary daily driver.
