Model overview

The Kia EV6 is a compact battery-electric SUV made by Kia. Launched in 2021, it is the first Kia electric vehicle. The car is the first model ever produced on the Electric Global Modular Platform, similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5. It is also the first model to be named under the new convention for electric cars, which will vary from EV1 to EV9. The EV6 won the 2022 European Car of the Year award.

The EV6 is available under four trim levels: Light, Wind, GT-Line, and 1st Edition. Various combinations of battery packs and electric motors result in different power outputs and ranges for each trim. 

The GT-line model is said to have a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time in 3.5 seconds, rapid 800V charging capability, and vehicle-to-load function.
