When it comes to the Kia EV6, you might think, “That’s it, the Koreans have decided to surprise the world again.” And you wouldn’t be far from the truth! This is Kia’s first electric crossover on the E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform), which they’ve done as if they’ve gathered all the trends of recent years and released them as one car.
A little bit of history
The EV6 was born in 2021 and immediately began to break the mold. Kia used to be perceived as the company that made “normal cars for a trip to the store for bread.” But with the EV6, they’ve entered new territory: battery-powered sports cars. This “electric pie” is built on the same platform as its sibling, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, but it looks like a car of the future from cyberpunk. Just like that neighbor who got into bitcoins and suddenly started wearing Elon Musk-style glasses.
Kia said: “Enough of us just being practical. Let’s also be stylish.” The EV6 does look as if the designers watched “Tron: Legacy” and decided it was time to create a car for those living in 2077.
Interesting facts about Kia EV6
- Record-breaking charging speed: Charges so fast that you barely have time for a coffee before the car is ready to go. It can reach 80% charge in just 18 minutes. That’s less time than you spend on your morning “scrolling” on TikTok.
- Range: With a full charge of the top version, you can drive up to 528 km. It’s almost as if you got into Los Angeles and drove to Las Vegas without stopping! Only here you ride on batteries instead of gasoline fumes.
- Power of the GT version: The EV6 GT version is a 585-horsepower electric monster that accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. Yes, it could safely compete in the street race “Fast and Furious 25: Electric Drive”.
- Rear optics: This is the element that everyone pays attention to. The “belt of lights” at the back of the car looks like it could transform into a robot and fly away. Although… who knows, maybe Kia has plans for a secret mission in the future.
- The interior of the future: Inside, the EV6 resembles a spacecraft that could very well take you to Mars. Everything is digital, from the huge display to the artificial intelligence that helps you control the car. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day the voice assistant suggests you buy crypto at a favorable exchange rate.
