KIA EV6 GT - IS IT REALLY A GT CAR? 500 MILE ROAD TRIP HAD SURPRISING RESULT

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT, the fastest Kia ever produced with 577 horsepower, was subjected to a 500-mile road trip to assess its GT credentials. The reviewer found the car to be an "utterly bonkers" and "rocket ship" in GT mode, offering instant torque, impressive traction, and a balanced, poised chassis on twisty roads. The reviewer also highlighted the useful Level 2 autonomous driving features, which significantly enhance comfort on long journeys. However, the "murdered out" spec with luminous green calipers was a visual highlight, and the interior was described as smart. The surprising result of the road trip was the real-world range; the reviewer achieved approximately 250 miles on a single charge by driving normally, with the flow of traffic, and utilizing Eco mode for the majority of the journey, even managing to complete the return trip home without a planned charging stop, despite initial concerns. Public charging experiences with Osprey and Pod Point were generally positive, though the reviewer noted the fragmentation of charging networks and the need for app downloads. The reviewer concluded that the EV6 GT is a "brilliant mile muncher" and a "true test for me of a GT car," proving that a long journey in an EV can be successful and not painful.
