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
