KIA EV6 AWD 77.4KWH 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST (WINDY)

EV Channels Review

This video presents a highway range test of the Kia EV6 Wind AWD with a 77.4kWh battery pack, conducted under less-than-ideal conditions including three occupants and a significant crosswind. Despite these challenges, the reviewer aimed for a standardized 70 mph loop-style test on flat terrain. The vehicle started at 100% charge, with an EPA rating of 274 miles, but the tester expected less at highway speeds. The car achieved 223.7 miles with an average consumption of 3 miles per kWh, falling slightly short of a previous Ioniq 5 test (227 miles) but considered a solid result given the adverse wind. The reviewer praised the EV6's interior design and comfort, noting its quiet ride and spaciousness, even for taller passengers. The test highlighted the impact of cold weather on range in a previous road trip, contrasting with the warmer conditions of this test, where wind was the primary factor. The car demonstrated impressive range capability even down to 0% state of charge, entering 'turtle mode' but still reaching the charger.
