EV6

The Kia EV6 is a battery-electric crossover SUV produced by Kia Motors, introduced in 2021 as part of the company’s electrification push. It represents Kia’s move toward dedicated electric platforms and sits on Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform), a shared architecture that underpins several contemporary EVs from the group.

Built on the E-GMP platform, the EV6 uses an 800-volt electrical system that enables high-speed charging and a flat floor for interior versatility. The design and packaging are optimized for a spacious cabin and a low center of gravity, with styling that combines a crossover silhouette with distinctive lighting cues.

Powertrain options include a single electric motor in rear-wheel-drive form or dual motors for all-wheel drive. Battery choices are a 58 kWh standard-range pack and a 77.4 kWh long-range pack. A high-performance variant, the EV6 GT, uses a more powerful dual-motor setup for enhanced acceleration and dynamics.

Charging and range credibility center on the 800-volt architecture, which supports fast DC charging on compatible public chargers and helps reduce charging times. Real-world range varies by drivetrain configuration, battery size, and driving conditions, with official estimates differing by market and test cycle.

Inside, the EV6 offers a modern, technology-forward cabin with large digital displays and a range of driver-assistance features. It is marketed globally, available in multiple trims across North America, Europe, and other regions, as part of Kia’s broader strategy to expand its electric vehicle lineup.
