It is fair to say that the EV6 meets the right criteria when it comes to design

The outside of the EV6 is equipped with stylish and modern LED lighting A taillight system that traverses the entire trunk makes it clear that this car is a bit different without being completely at odds with anything else on the road

Inside, Kia didn’t fall for this Tesla-like tablet design instead, it has followed Porsche’s lead, using a proper display behind the steering wheel and another above the center console, which is a more traditional approach to cabin design, which means That it isn’t quite as stunning right away, however, it will still look good in a few years’ time when the tablet screens have faded

There are plenty of physical controls that mean you don’t have to operate everything from a touchscreen If traditional car owners switch to electric, this is likely a big selling point for anyone not interested in high tech gadgets in their cars

You can choose from three versions of the car There are the EV6, the EV6 GT-Line and the EV6 GT This high-specification EV6 GT only comes with the long-range 774 kWh battery.The EV6 and GT-Line models come with either the 58 kWh or 77 kWh 4 kWh battery

The GT model will only be equipped with all-wheel drive, while the EV6 and EV6 GT-Line can choose between AWD and rear-wheel drive

Given the size of this car, the more than 316 mile range claim looks pretty promising. What’s even better is the car’s ability to charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes – you can get around a range of around five minutes Add 100km The numbers are a bit old now (2003), but the US Department of Transportation claims the average American commute is 15 miles each way.

Here is Kia’s introductory video for the EV6 where you can see this exciting addition to the EV vehicle world for yourself, feel free to skip the company stuff and go to 1:47 for the actual car

This is for sure one of the most exciting new cars of the year The design is invigorating and ready to match the ever popular Tesla The EV6 doesn’t fall into flashy traps with its design the front and back are both modern but functional; and the interior seems to balance high-tech without resorting to endless tapping on a touchscreen

The fast charging, long range, and the ability to use this car as a source of power on a camping trip or during a power outage are thoughtful and probably very useful, Kia may have put together the ultimate electric car package here
