KIA EV6 GT - FROM ZERO TO HERO

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Kia EV6 GT has undergone a significant transformation, moving from a car that was merely fast to one that is genuinely engaging and fun to drive. While the previous GT was criticized for its unsettled ride and lack of driver involvement, the revised model boasts retuned suspension, dampers, and spring rates, along with an electronic limited-slip differential and virtual gear shift technology, mirroring the success of the Hyundai Ioniq 5N. The reviewer highlights the car's ability to flow through corners with improved compliance and grip, making it a true Grand Tourer. The interior receives welcome updates, including electric seats with memory, a reduction in piano black trim, and new textured materials. Performance is boosted to 641 horsepower, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 161 mph. The larger 84 kWh battery offers a WLTP range of 279 miles, and charging is exceptionally fast, with 10-80% in 18 minutes. Despite its performance enhancements, the price has been reduced, making it better value than before. The reviewer struggles to find significant downsides, praising its design, refined driving dynamics, and overall package, suggesting it might be the best EV6 yet.
