2022 Kia EV6 AWD LR with GT-Line Pkg 1: The Future Is Here

The 2022 Kia EV6 AWD LR with GT-Line Pkg 1 is the company’s first specialized electric vehicle, and it’s built on the same Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that will back a plethora of new Kia electric vehicles. The EV6 illustrates the increasing options and possibilities of the latest electric cars, with a projected range of up to 310 miles and fast charging rates thanks to its 800-volt architecture. This model offers seating for 5 and 4-doors. 

The GT-Line AWD’s 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque provide quick acceleration and plenty of power to keep the power rush going. 

Two motors with a total output of 320.5bhp and a monstrous 605Nm of torque are used in the AWD variant, and those large numbers are sent to all four wheels via an automated transmission. Except when you wish to accelerate from 192kmph, the EV6’s peak speed and performance are instantaneous and unrelenting at all levels. 

The braking performance is equally outstanding, and slowing down from maximum speed immediately before a corner is a breeze. The brakes bite firmly and instill much trust in the driver.

This automobile feels lighter than its curb weight of 4647 pounds. The brakes are powerful and simple to modulate, with regen braking force controlled by steering-wheel paddles. In the peaceful cabin, there were no squeaks or rattles.

Upgrade to GT-Line trim for sharper appearance, memory seats, dual-zone climate control, tinted windows, and an ingenious technology that allows the charging connection to double as a 3.5kW three-pin plug outlet. 

The EV6 AWD’s interior is distinctive, well-finished, and detailed, with a layout that includes fewer control surfaces and a clean, simple at-a-glance appearance. The dashboard-style can take center stage with fewer buttons and controls, with more room for materials, patterns, textures, and colors to mingle, flow stack, and layer. This provides the driver with something interesting to look at throughout the forward compartment.
