The Kia EV6 is a battery electric compact crossover SUV produced by Kia.[6][7] Introduced in March 2021, it is the first Kia dedicated electric vehicle, and the first model developed on the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5.[8][9] It is also the first model to be named under the new nomenclature designated for a line of Kia electric cars, which will range from EV1 to EV9.[10] The EV6 is the 2022 European Car of the Year.
Overview
The EV6 was released on 2 August 2021 after a set of pictures were revealed on 15 March 2021.[11][12][13] Developed under the codename CV,[14] it is the first Kia model based on the E-GMP electric car platform.
The GT model is claimed to have a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time in 3.5 seconds, rapid 800V charging capability and vehicle-to-load function.[15]
It features a panoramic curved display panel inside, which opens up more space while a controller for transition between infotainment and HVAC below the navigation screen and touch buttons for using heated seat as well as steering wheel further enhance driver usability. The EV6’s boot space is 520 L (VDA standard) and it can be increased up to 1,300 L when the rear seats are folded. The crossover is claimed to be furnished with sustainable materials for its door pocket, crash pad, mood lighting, garnish and Nappa leather seats. It also has augmented reality head-up display, 360 camera option, remote controlled parking, along with safety technologies including Lane Follow Assist, Highway Driving Assist 2 (semi-autonomous adaptive cruise control) including auto lane changing, AEB collision avoidance, remote smart parking assist and Safe Exit Assist.[16]
