The car also delivers impressive acceleration at 60 mph in under five seconds.
Top-Drawer Interior
The Kia EV6 GT Line features a generous length (184.8 inches), and has a good-sized interior with comfortable seats and plenty of head and legroom. Control buttons on the center console are easy to use, and USB ports are cleverly integrated within the seatbacks. Starting and shifting functions are housed in the center console, which also contains a charging port.
The door handles pull out automatically, a welcome feature in bad weather, and want to get in and drive away quickly. You’ll find storage space under the hood; the Kia EV6 GT includes 24 cubic feet of cargo storage overall.

The Kia EV6 GT is a smashing success here too. Its strut front and multilink rear suspension make for sharp, precise steering, agile handling, and a great overall ride.
Its 20-inch sport Michelin wheels provide a strong grip, and the regenerative brakes have a light touch that makes stop-and-go driving easier to cope with. The Kia EV6 GT delivers plenty of acceleration, horsepower, agility, and nimble performance.

Safety tech is equally impressive and features a host of driver helps, including emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-maintaining alerts, rear cross-traffic warning, automatic high beams, and remote parking assistance. Kia’s Highway Assist Drive 2 system maintains a safe speed and distance from nearby vehicles.
