The electric car market is going to be extremely interesting to watch because it can tighten the gap between premium and non-premium brands, especially in the minds of EV enthusiasts that are more concerned with specs that luxury. For instance, it\u2019s typically highly unusual to compare an Audi and a KIA, as the former is an expensive premium brand and the latter is not (not an insult to KIA, it\u2019s been making fantastic cars over the past few years). However, the upcoming KIA EV6 electric car<\/a> should absolutely grab the attention of all EV buyers, even premium ones.<\/p>\n

For starters, the KIA EV6 looks great. It\u2019s sharp, sleek, futuristic looking, and has shades of Jaguar\u2019s design language in it. I also love the fact that it\u2019s a five-door hatchback with muscular rear wheel arches, a sexy upward-sweeping C-pillar, and an almost shooting brake-style silhouette.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The interior is also quite nice looking, especially in EV6 GT (the performance variant seen in these photos) spec. The seats are sporty and supportive looking, the dash is simplistic but handsome, and its tech isn\u2019t too in-your-face. Nothing special but nothing offensive, either.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s impressive, though, is what lies beneath. The KIA EV6 is built on the brand\u2019s new dedicated electric platform, which will house several different EV powertrains. Two battery packs will be available; a standard 58 kWh battery and a long-range 77.4 kWh battery. Both battery packs will be available with either a rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The top-end KIA EV6 will come with dual electric motors and the 77.4 kWh battery pack, making 576 horsepower and getting from 0-62 mph (100 km\/h) in 3.5 seconds. While the standard long-range model (big battery, rear-wheel drive), will be able to achieve 510 km (316 miles) of range.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All KIA EV6 models will be equipped with 800-volt architectures and can charged from 10-80 percent battery in just 18 minutes. If you\u2019re in a pinch, 100 km of range can be put back in just 4.5 minutes, which is easily among the fastest on the market.<\/p>\n

With its good looks, impressive specs, and rapid charging, the EV6 is going to cement itself as a very capable EV in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
