Kia has officially launched The New EV6 GT in South Korea, a high-performance electric vehicle that aims to set a new standard in the EV market. Pre-orders for this advanced model began on November 26, signaling Kia’s bold vision for the future of electric mobility.
Unmatched Performance and Engineering
With the EV6 GT, Kia has achieved a balance of cutting-edge technology, exceptional performance, and practical functionality. Designed to provide an exhilarating driving experience, the vehicle combines a powerful all-wheel-drive system with innovative features that enhance both speed and control. Its dual electric motors produce an impressive combined output of 448kW (609 horsepower) and 740Nm of torque, offering a thrilling ride for performance enthusiasts. Moreover, the Launch Control function temporarily boosts power to 478kW (650 horsepower), propelling the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
Practicality Meets Efficiency
Kia has also focused on making the EV6 GT a practical choice for everyday driving. The vehicle is equipped with an advanced 84kWh battery that delivers a range of up to 355 kilometers on a single charge, as certified by Korea’s Ministry of Industry. Despite the larger battery size, fast-charging technology enables the EV6 GT to recharge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes using a 350kW charger, ensuring convenience for drivers on the go.
Precision and Stability in Driving
Driving dynamics have been fine-tuned with the inclusion of electronically controlled suspension and an electronic limited-slip differential, which provide superior stability and handling in various conditions. Additionally, a high-performance braking system ensures reliable stopping power while integrating regenerative braking for improved energy efficiency.
Comfort and Innovation in the Cabin
The interior of the EV6 GT reflects Kia’s commitment to comfort and modernity. Sports bucket seats, trimmed in suede, offer heating, ventilation, and power adjustments to cater to driver and passenger needs. The cabin is also equipped with advanced features such as augmented reality navigation, a digital key system, and a built-in camera for enhanced convenience and safety.
Striking Design Inside and Out
Kia has carefully crafted the EV6 GT’s exterior to be as striking as its performance. Customers can choose from a selection of five colors, including Snow White Pearl and Yacht Matte Blue, while the interior is offered in a sleek Black & Neon theme that emphasizes its sporty character.
Competitive Pricing and Accessibility
Despite its significant technological and performance upgrades, Kia has managed to maintain the EV6 GT’s pricing at ₩72.2 million (approximately $50,540 or €49,096, based on current exchange rates). With additional subsidies from the government and local authorities, the vehicle becomes an even more attractive option for potential buyers.
Kia’s Vision for the Future of EVs
As Kia continues to expand its EV lineup, including the launch of the EV3 and other updated models, the company is committed to making electric vehicles more accessible. The EV6 GT, with its blend of innovation and practicality, is a testament to Kia’s ambition to lead the global electric vehicle market.
A Kia spokesperson described the EV6 GT as a revolutionary product that embodies the brand’s vision for high-performance EVs. “This vehicle demonstrates Kia’s dedication to exceeding boundaries and setting new standards for electric mobility,” they said.
The New EV6 GT not only promises to redefine high-performance electric driving but also reflects Kia’s broader mission to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles worldwide.
