Kia EV6 GT Review: FASTER than a Lamborghini!

This all-new Kia EV6 is coming in hot!

This is the EV6 GT, and it’s one of the most powerful small EVs you can buy! The question is, can it compete with the Tesla Model 3 Performance? And can it justify the £63,000 price tag?!

Well for starters, let’s look at what you get over the standard EV6. In terms of the exterior design… Well, it’s all pretty similar to the standard EV6! Around the back, you’ll find a larger roof spoiler, a new rear bumper, and some GT badging. The GT also comes riding on 21” as standard, and it also has a slightly redesigned, more aggressive front end. Otherwise, it’s pretty much identical to the normal car!

It’s a similar story on the inside. There’s a fair amount of lime green stitching throughout the cabin, and you’ll also find a pair of new sports seats up front. Apart from that, it’s the same as the normal EV6… But then again, that’s no bad thing!

But of course, if you’re interested in the EV6 GT, you’ll want to know about the motor upgrades! Power output has been boosted pretty significantly, with the EV6 GT producing 585hp and 740Nm - that’s 260hp more than the regular dual-motor EV6!! The GT edition also comes with bigger brakes and tweaked suspension. The only negative, though, is that it’s about 100kg heavier than the regular car, so it tips the scales at 2,185kg.

So what do you think - can this Kia warrant the £63,000 price tag? Or would you just choose a Tesla instead? Let us know in the comments!

This car is better than a Tesla Model 3... Right?

The automatic turn signal blind spot cameras should be a mandatory safety standard, such a good idea and pretty easy to implement

Imagine 10 years ago someone saying a Kia would do 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds you'd have sent them to a looney bin 😂

it's realy impressive to see how Kia has evolved in recent years

I must commend Kia Engineers. They have excelled beyond expectation over the last decade. Just imagining a sub 4secs Kia is mind boggling and damn impressive. The drawing board has been brought to life. Well done KIA!!!

11:15 launches.... (starting with eco mode) 11:39 launch with sport mode 12:12 with GT mode... maximum attack

The new Kias and Hyundais look really good imo, even though some people don't agree

I've had my EV6 GTLine2 for 6 months and I have loved every moment of it. I'm usually in eco mode but using sport mode in town and on the highway is just much fun. My daily commute is 250km and it's an absolute pleasure with this car.

Love the new Kia lineup. Their interior design is spot on. Same for the new Sportage.

During the press launch, this thing was doing 0-60 in 3.2secs so its pretty capable. Would love to see a drag race between this, Polestar 2 performance, Model 3 Perf, i4 M50, Audi GT Etron, Taycan and lets thrown in an ICE for good measure. An M3/M4 Xdrive Comp.. yes please.

KIA Lowkey be doing some really good things lately!

[rockstarster]

I like how the Kia EV6 doesn't look generic like most EV's. It looks very much like a normal petrol and I like it!

[mineshnissanka]

Even that 6.75 0-60 is really impressive, especially for a 2.2 ton machine

The EV6 does look incredible. Might be the nicest looking EV along with the Polestars.

Yes! Been waiting for this one for a while. 💯 Thanks Carwow for the entertainment

What a time to be alive when a Kia crossover costs more than I paid for a 911 in 2014

I hope this channel never ends and keep spreading happiness ❤️

I honestly love how much of an equalizer ev powertrains have become. It seems like just about any manufacturer can pop out a pretty capable performance car these days without needing to redo the production line of the base model
