THE EV6 GT IS KIA'S MOST POWERFUL CAR EVER. EV ROAD TRIP REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT is presented as the brand's most powerful car ever, boasting nearly 600 horsepower and supercar-rivalling acceleration. The reviewer, Jonny Smith, undertakes a real-world road trip to Belgium to assess its practicality and performance beyond track-focused tests. While acknowledging the GT's immense power, rapid acceleration (3.5 seconds to 62mph), and engaging driving dynamics, particularly in GT mode, Smith expresses reservations. He notes that the GT trim sacrifices some range compared to lower trims (263 miles vs. 315-328 miles) and comes at a significant price premium (£63k), placing it in territory with more established performance brands. Despite the impressive performance, Smith questions whether the added hardcore elements and reduced range justify the cost over a lesser EV6, which he found to be a "thoroughly enjoyable car" with excellent value and range. The reviewer highlights the adaptive suspension, larger brakes, and unique GT styling cues, but also points out the manual seat adjustment in the GT and a slight reduction in boot space. Ultimately, while praising the EV6 GT's capabilities, Smith leans towards recommending a non-GT EV6 for its better balance of range, performance, and value.
