Yes, that's why I bought the EV6 GT over the Mach-E :).

I agree about the steering in Kia EV6 GT is a little "dead", but the performance difference is big.
EV6 GT doesn't "overheat" between each acceleration like the Mach-E GT.
If you tried 2 hard acceleration in 1min you would notice a big drop in power in the Mach-E GT.
So in a canyon road I would prefer EV6 GT.
Real world acceleration 0-100kmh/t for Mach-E is around 4, 2-4, 5sec and 3, 5-3, 8sec for EV6 GT in reviews I have seen.
It's not that 0-100kmh/t time means that much, but 0, 5-0, 7sec faster under 5sec mark will feel different :).

Btw the suspension in Australia is different on the EV6 GT than the rest of the world, I think a little softer.

Don't know if you know, there is different HP available in different drive modes:
Eco: 287 hp
Normal and Sport: 430 hp
GT: 585 hp
So if you have MY drive mode Power on Sport and not Sport+, you only get 430hp in MY drive mode.

There is also a Battery Optimizer button in the car for maximum performance (Only in GT). It's on the right screen at the split screen option where you can scroll throught weather, radio, media, EV things. When enabled the car will heat up to 86f (30celsius) or cool down the battery for maximum performance.
Only works over 68% SOC.

Here is a drag race between EV6 GT and Mach-E GT, just to show the difference. Start from 3:55.

Here is a video with EV6 GT on the Nürburgring.

EV6 looks amazing. If you have solar, you basically get free power

The Kia only has a total range of 200 miles and that's on a good day..Mach E s range is 280..So Mach E all day..

Both nice cars, kia ev6 gt is faster acceleration than mach e gt, you only get full power in mach e gt for 5 seconds then power drops to protect battery but if you lift off and accelerate again it gives you full power again for another 5 seconds lol, the Kia ev6 gt is proper quick, i think the mach e gt looks nice but better just getting the normal awd mach e, the ev6 gt thats some car could have alot of fun in that missile 👌😁👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
