2022 KIA EV6 GT LINE FIRST EDITION

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT Line First Edition is presented as a compelling first entry into the all-electric market for Kia. The reviewer highlights its aggressive exterior styling, particularly the LED lighting and 20-inch wheels, though notes the presence of fake venting. Inside, the cabin impresses with its use of recycled materials, vegan leather seats, and a modern, futuristic design featuring a dual-purpose haptic feedback screen and a 12-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The reviewer praises the spaciousness of the rear seats, despite a slightly high knee position, and the ample cargo space (28 cu ft with seats up, 58 cu ft down). Performance is noted as strong for the GT Line with its dual motors producing 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque, offering instantaneous acceleration. However, the reviewer corrects an earlier misstatement, clarifying that the estimated range for the AWD GT Line is approximately 275 miles, not 320. A significant critique is the overuse of piano gloss black plastic in high-touch areas, which is prone to fingerprints and wear. The reviewer also points out the unique remote parking feature and the customizable interior sound settings as notable features. Overall, the EV6 GT Line First Edition is deemed a well-thought-out and impressive debut, with the limited 1500-unit First Edition model offering a premium experience.
