Crossovers aren’t the most exciting cars out there, and we could say the same thing about the vast majority of electric vehicles as well. However, Kia is looking to change our perception with the new EV6 and its sporty GT version. Packing dual electric motors, all-wheel drive, and an electronic limited-slip differential, this electric crossover aims to be a true performance car.<\/p>\n
It certainly has the technical specs to support its sporty credentials, offering a generous total output of 577 horsepower and 740 Newton-meters (546 pound-feet) of torque. The electric punch grants the Kia EV6 GT with a sprint to 62 mph (100 km\/h) in just 3.5 seconds, en route to a top speed of 162 mph (260 km\/h), which is mighty impressive for an electric car.<\/p>\n

Available only with AWD and a 77.4-kWh battery pack, the GT will represent the crown jewel of the vast EV6 lineup. The family will also include a sporty-looking GT-Line available with either rear- or all-wheel drive and a choice between a smaller 58-kWh battery and the bigger 77.4-kWh pack. If efficiency is what you’re after, you will want the rear-wheel-drive model with the larger battery as that one will do in excess of 316 miles (510 kilometers) between cycles, according to the WLTP cycle.<\/p>\n
