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!

Though useful, it's not really that hard to look before you signal, decelerate and then turn... Its an intentional proactive action, rather than auto braking where you are reacting to a scenario for safety.

The reason it uses pillar vents instead of centre console vents is because, like the Ioniq 5, the console doesn't connect to the dash. There is no way for the HVAC piping to reach the console.

Hey Mat. If you have another chance to drive EV6 GT, try drag race or 0 to 60 test in drift mode. That way all stability control will be fully off, and maybe you can have better time. GT mode have some little traction control. (Actually one of the korean car youtube channel able to record 0 to 100km in 2.991 sec in drift mode.) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ar5mg8mbstydfo0.html

@@Markcain268 What I'm saying is: We're nearly at the point where traction just won't allow us to accelerate any faster. The Model S Plaid gets to 60 in two seconds. Tire compounds are reaching their limits. Sure, we can make more and more horsepower, but physics only allows so much grip. At a certain point (soon) we're going to reach the limit of acceleration. We can keep taking top speeds higher, but I think we're almost at the limit of acceleration.

The one thing that I did not hear mentioned was the heads up display that the Kia has which the Tesla really does need, as I found the speedo on the IPad dangerous. The other thing is the fact that the Kia has a hatchback which is far easier to use than the boot of the Model 3. The downside I think are the manual seats in the Kia which does not work if you share the car with another person. Also the build quality of the Kia is better than the Tesla, as is the after sales service. Their are many four’s and against’s for both cars, that’s why I bought the Audi RS GT which is twice the price but has the best of both and more.

Was curious to see what you made of the lack of battery capacity. You were pretty generous. Other reviewers have been much more savage, but how much it matters may depend on your location and lifestyle, I suppose. A ~100kwh battery would make more sense for that kind of performance, IMHO (yes, noting the weight would increase).

Now all they need to do is release a non-SUV type one that's a bit smaller and lighter and I'll be all over it 😁 A Kia-styled and therefore more aggressive version of the Ioniq 6 with this drivetrain, basically. Or if Hyundai will just release the N Vision 74 (and sell it to me for £10k or less) then that'd do nicely.
