2022 KIA EV6 GT - FULL OVERVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Kia EV6 GT is presented as a high-performance electric crossover that impresses with its audacious styling and advanced 800-volt EV platform. The reviewer highlights the GT's dual electric motors producing 577 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque, enabling a rapid 0-62 mph sprint in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 162 mph. The inclusion of an electronic limited-slip differential is noted as a key performance enhancement. While the GT exclusively uses the larger 77.4 kWh battery, other EV6 variants offer a choice of rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and a smaller 58 kWh battery, with the RWD, larger battery configuration achieving over 316 miles of range (WLTP). The video praises the vehicle's distinctive exterior design and the advanced dual 12.3-inch curved displays with the new Kia Connect infotainment system, including over-the-air updates and a Wi-Fi hotspot. However, criticisms are leveled at the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the absence of physical volume and tuning knobs, and a complicated touch bar for climate controls that requires taking eyes off the road. Despite these interior usability gripes, the EV6 GT is positioned as a strong contender in the electric vehicle market, particularly for those prioritizing performance and striking design.
