THE MOST EXCITING KIA? WE TEST THE 2022 KIA EV6 GT-LINE AWD FOR A FULL WEEK

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD is presented as a compelling, exciting, and potent electric vehicle, positioned as a potential successor to the Kia Stinger GT. The reviewer highlights its striking, curvaceous, and otherworldly design, which garners significant attention. Performance is praised, with the dual-motor AWD system delivering 320 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque, offering instantaneous acceleration that makes merging and maneuvering effortless. The 800-volt architecture enables exceptionally fast charging (10-80% in 18 minutes). Interior features like the dual 12.3-inch screens and comfortable, ventilated seats are noted, though the touch-sensitive climate controls and gloss black plastic are minor critiques. The reviewer appreciates the vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability and the fun driving dynamics on back roads, emphasizing its low center of gravity and all-wheel-drive grip. While acknowledging its range is under 300 miles (around 250 in sport mode), the EV6 GT-Line is recommended as an excellent first EV for families or individuals due to its blend of performance, technology, comfort, and distinctive styling.
