2023 Kia EV6
Starting at $43.000 est
Highs Cool exterior design, zippy on-road personality, spacious and nicely styled cabin.
Lows Limited front-trunk space, infotainment system is more retro than futuristic.
Verdict Affordable, lively, and easy-to-live with, the EV6 electric SUV does most everything right.
Overview
A fraternal twin to the Hyundai Ioniq 5-our 2022 EV of the Year-the 2023 Kia EV6 charts its path through the EV market with athletic road manners and a bold look all its own. Rear-wheel drive is standard but all-wheel drive models are punchier and can be had with a larger battery pack with a maximum of 310 miles of driving range. Handling is eager, especially for an SUV, which makes it fun on back roads. For hot-shoe drivers, this year’s new GT model is the one to get as its 576 horsepower is enough to make Stinger owners envious as it blows by them. All the while the EV6’s cabin remains quiet and is spacious enough to justify its place among SUV rivals such as the Ford Mustang Mach E, the Ioniq 5, and the Volkswagen ID.4. It’s one of our favorite SUVs because its traits add up to a well-rounded electric vehicle that’s easy to live with, fun-to-drive, and a good value.
What’s New for 2023?
The ballistically quick GT model takes its place atop of the EV6 lineup this year, complete with 576 horsepower and an adaptive suspension. A green button on the steering wheel unlocks the propulsion system’s maximum potency, which we estimate will be enough to blast the EV6 to 60 mph in as little as 3.2 seconds in our testing. To go along with its enhanced performance, Kia has also added racier interior elements to the GT’s cabin, including sport seats and neon green trim. Unfortunately, the additional juice needed to pump out the extra horsepower cuts the GT’s driving range estimate to just 206 miles per charge, a significant drop from the maximum 310-mile range of the most efficient model.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Light: $43,000 (est)
Wind: $49,000 (est)
Wind AWD: $53,000 (est)
GT-Line: $54,000 (est)
GT-Line AWD: $58,000 (est)
GT: $69,000 (est)
EV Motor, Power, and Performance
The EV6 is available with a single electric motor mounted on the rear axle that gives it rear-wheel drive or with electric motors on both front and rear that enable all-wheel drive. While all-wheel-drive models have the larger battery pack and either 320 or 576 total horsepower, the base rear-drive example has a smaller battery and just 167 horses. Opting for the bigger battery boosts the rear-drive EV6's total system output to 225 horses. We drove a GT-Line AWD in Europe and enjoyed its satisfying acceleration, agile handling, and adjustable regenerative brake settings. At our test track, that 320-hp GT-Line model managed a brisk 4.5-second zero-to-60-mph time. If you prioritize maximum straight-line performance, the 576-hp GT has you covered; we estimate it will hit 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. The performance model sits at the top of the lineup and comes with enhancements such as an electronic limited slip differential, firmer chassis tuning, an adaptive suspension, and stouter brakes.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The Kia EV6 offers two battery sizes: a 58.0-kWh and a 77.4-kWh pack. Obviously, the larger of those will provide a longer driving range. The smaller, standard battery has an EPA-rated range of 232 miles; the larger, long-range battery is EPA-rated at up to 310 miles. Opt for the performance-oriented GT model and the range drops to a measly 206 miles per charge even though it comes with the larger of the two batteries. We took an all-wheel drive Wind model, which has the larger battery pack standard, on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route and measured 230 miles of real-world highway driving range before the battery needed to be recharged. Along with an operating voltage of 800 volts, Kia says its battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in under 18 minutes when plugged into a 350-kW fast charger. We tested this claim and were pleased with the result. This same setup is also said to add 70 miles in less than 5 minutes. The 11-kW onboard charger is expected to refill the battery from 10 to 100 percent in 7 hours when hooked up to a Level 2 outlet.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Inside, the EV6's design and layout are not as daring as the outside, but the configuration and features look more attractive and futuristic than any other current Kia model.

Absolutely the best, review. Thank you for making this, for all of us too see. Bravo!! Excellent!!

[@spaceenemiesnovel]

Did a test drive yesterday in the ev6 and Niro. Both great cars but the kids liked the ev6 more. First time I drove electric and without shift stick but it drives really well. If you want the car be prepared to wait 8 months because Kia facturies don't have a stock.

It is real nice vehicle but more interior work can be done plus I don't trust full electric yet if so be the case I'd go with hybrid instead
