THE KIA EV6 GT IS A 575HP SUPERCAR-FAST ELECTRIC CROSSOVER

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2023 Kia EV6 GT, a 575-horsepower electric crossover that offers supercar-level acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in the low 3-second range. While its performance is lauded as "ridiculous" and "supercar-rivaling," DeMuro notes a significant drawback: the GT's range drops to just 206 miles, a considerable decrease from the standard EV6. He highlights the GT's unique features, including an electronic limited-slip differential, quicker steering, larger brakes, and distinctive interior upgrades like bolstered sport seats and acid green accents. However, he criticizes the manual adjustment for the $63,000 car's seats and the somewhat counter-intuitive dual-function center control screen. The infotainment system is praised for its responsiveness and features like "quiet mode," though the gauge cluster's limited display options are a point of contention. The blind-spot camera system integrated into the gauge cluster is called "revolutionary." Despite a stiff suspension in GT mode that impacts ride quality, DeMuro finds the handling impressive and the steering feedback excellent. He concludes that the EV6 GT is a compelling package for enthusiasts seeking practicality and performance, offering a strong alternative to the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and Tesla Model Y Performance, despite its range and ride compromises.
