2022 Kia EV6 Review

It’s Electric: Performance and Driving Range

Kia’s first all-electric model is set to hit the market early next year, so what kind of performance can you expect from it? Impressive stats include:

• An EPA-estimated 300 miles of range on a full charge²
• 0 to 60 MPH in 5.2 seconds
• Up to 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque

Charging is fast and easy, too. An 800-volt DC fast charger provides up to 210 miles of driving range in only 18 minutes.

You don’t even need a high-powered charger. You can charge overnight using an at-home 240-volt outlet. Since the driving range is so impressive, you don’t have to worry about charging frequently.

The EV6 comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but it is also available with an e-AWD configuration. These AWD models feature dual motors for all-weather grip when accelerating.

With impressive power and range like this, it’s no wonder that drivers are eagerly anticipating their chance to get behind the wheel of this no-emissions model.

Technology: Safety and Infotainment

Innovations extend beyond the drivetrain into the interior of the model. One of the most impressive new technology features is the available Augmented Reality Head-Up Display. When using your head-up display for navigation, this technology can show you exactly where to turn using a customized projection that displays arrows and directions in real time.

Then with the addition of the Blind-Spot View Monitor, you can stay more aware of your surroundings than ever before. This available feature displays a live video feed of your right rear blind spot on your instrument panel, eliminating that blind spot for good.

This video feed is displayed on the dual 12.3-inch curved screens. Rely on these screens that are made with a blue light filter to prevent eye strain, and which enable access to navigation, infotainment, and alerts.

When you’re on the go, you can use the smart infotainment system to find which of the nation’s 41,400 fast-charging stations is closest to you.

Capacity to Power Your Adventures

Available Vehicle to Load ports make it possible to power other electronic devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and even home appliances. Use this modern Kia vehicle for vintage pastimes—by powering up a projector, you can create your own drive-in movie experience. Whatever fun ideas you have, the EV6 can help make them happen.

For your next road trip, bring along all of your favorite toys and more. The Kia EV6 has a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.
