THIS KIA EV6 HAS A SECRET…

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT receives a mid-cycle refresh with subtle exterior tweaks, including updated lighting and a new bonnet profile for the GT, along with new alloy wheel designs. Inside, the cabin benefits from an updated steering wheel, more ambient lighting, and the removal of the scratch-prone piano black trim. The infotainment system sees minor improvements but remains not the most intuitive. A key addition for the GT is the ability to mimic internal combustion engine gear changes, a feature the reviewer found added a dimension to the driving experience, though it lacks the realism and intensity of some competitors. Performance is blistering, with 650hp enabling a 0-60mph time of 3.5 seconds, though real-world range is noted at around 220 miles, lower than its claimed 280 miles due to aggressive driving and motorway use. While the EV6 GT offers impressive power, configurability, and a 7-year warranty, the reviewer concludes that it falls short of being truly thrilling as a performance car, suggesting rivals like the Tesla Model 3 Performance or BMW M340i offer more driving enjoyment for similar money. The reviewer recommends the standard EV6 for practicality and suggests a secondary fun car if performance is the primary goal.
