2023 KIA EV6 GT AWD REVIEWED - ELECTRIC ROCKET

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT is presented as an "electric rocket," delivering astonishing performance with 576 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time as low as 3.45 seconds in GT mode. While its 206-mile estimated range is on the lower side for its class, the reviewer highlights its incredibly fast charging capability (10-90% in under 30 minutes) as a mitigating factor, especially for those with home charging access. The interior is praised for its dual 12.3-inch displays with excellent graphics and customizable layouts, comfortable sport seats, and ample power outlets. However, minor criticisms include the manual seat controls despite a sunroof, the wireless charging pad's incompatibility with larger phones, and the use of plastics in frequently touched areas. The reviewer is particularly impressed by the vehicle's performance, comparing it favorably to more expensive rivals like the Porsche Taycan and noting its rear-biased handling. Despite its performance prowess, the EV6 GT is not recommended for off-roading due to its low ground clearance and lack of appropriate tires. The reviewer concludes that the EV6 GT offers exceptional value for its performance level, flexibility, and design, provided it can be purchased at MSRP, though concerns about Kia dealerships are noted.
