The EV6 brings long-range, zero-emissions power, 800V ultra-fast charging and distinctive styling to the crossover SUV market. It is Kia’s first car to be based on the company’s dedicated new BEV platform, E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform) and is powered exclusively by electricity.
It offers a choice of multiple fully-electric, zero-emission powertrain configurations, including a long-range (77.4kWh) battery pack capable of travelling over 510 kilometres (316 miles) on a single charge on the WLTP combined cycle, claims the manufacturer.
Kia claims the EV6 can go from 10 to 80 per cent battery charge in just 18 minutes, while the GT version can accelerate from 0-to-100km/h in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 260km/h.
EV6 is the first of 11 new BEV models from Kia by 2026 – seven built on E-GMP architecture, and four derivative EVs based on existing models. It forms the first part of Kia’s transition to the new era of electrification under the slogan, ‘Movement that inspires’. Kia aims to grow its BEV sales to 880,000 units in 2030.
The EV6’s world premiere can be viewed on Kia UK’s YouTube channel.
