KIA'S FASTEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE CAR EVER! EV6 GT

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT is presented as a significant engineering feat, boasting 577 horsepower and a 0-62 mph time under 3.5 seconds, positioning it as Kia's fastest and most expensive car to date. Despite its initial high price tag of £60,000, the reviewer argues that current market trends, with other EVs reaching similar price points for less performance, make the EV6 GT a more justifiable purchase. The design is lauded for its subtle yet aggressive GT-specific enhancements, including larger lime green brake calipers, unique alloy wheels, and revised bumpers, maintaining the EV6's inherent sporty and futuristic aesthetic. Practicality is largely retained, with a minor reduction in boot space (480L vs 490L) attributed to the larger rear motor. The interior receives praise for its premium feel, featuring supportive winged bucket seats with Alcantara and lime green accents, though the manual seat adjustment is noted as a drawback for a car in this price bracket. The dual-screen infotainment system and user-friendly center console are highlighted as positives. Performance is exceptional, with multiple drive modes offering a versatile driving experience from efficient to full attack. However, real-world range is significantly impacted by cold weather, dropping from an estimated 250 miles to around 200 miles, a common EV concern in winter. The reviewer concludes that the EV6 GT is a highly impressive and well-executed performance EV, offering a compelling blend of sportiness, refinement, and practicality, even comparing favorably to much more expensive German rivals.
