LIVING WITH A $60,000 KIA EV6 GT

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT is presented as a surprising performance crossover, boasting 576 horsepower and a drift mode, a significant departure from traditional Kia offerings. The reviewer highlights its exhilarating acceleration and surprisingly capable handling in canyons, praising its ability to manage its weight and control body roll, especially in GT mode. The unique styling and cool interior accents are also noted as positives. However, the reviewer points out a few drawbacks: the manual adjustment for the front seats at this price point, the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay despite a wireless charger, and the relatively small front trunk. While initial range anxiety was a concern, the reviewer found the real-world range to be around 200 miles, even with spirited driving and drift mode use, and had a positive experience with Electrify America's fast charging, concluding that range and charging infrastructure concerns are manageable. The EV6 GT is ultimately deemed a "sleeper" car, offering immense fun and performance that belies its Kia badge and crossover form factor.
