Rarely has a Kia model been so eagerly awaited as the EV6 GT, the brand's most powerful production model to date, which combines the driving dynamics of a super sports car with crossover and grand tourer qualities. And the victory of the EV6 in the vote for Europe's "Car of the Year 2022" has increased the number of prospective buyers who have been able to reserve the crossover athlete in advance since the EV6 world premiere in March 2021. With the result that temporarily no further reservations were accepted. That's changing now: Kia has now announced the equipment details and the final price of the EV6 GT and thus officially started sales. Customers can now order the 430 kW (585 PS) strong Stromer again. The basic price of the Kia EV6 GT, which is fully equipped as standard, is 69,990 euros and is reduced in accordance with the subsidy regulations applicable at the time of registration. The 7-year manufacturer's guarantee includes the drive battery. This means that the EV6 GT has one of the most comprehensive manufacturer warranties for electric cars in Europe. Production will start in September, and the first deliveries of pre-orders to European customers are planned for the end of the year.
Now entering its third model year, the all-electric 2024 EV6 maintains its position as integral to Kia’s “Plan S” strategy. The 2024 model year introduces the 77.4-kWh battery to the EV6 Light, and with it, two new trim designations in rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (e-AWD). For 2024, the EV6 GT is now rated at an EPA-estimated 218 miles of all-electric range (AER), an improvement of 12 miles over the 2023 EV6 GT. Across all EV6 models, newly standard are charge port lighting and charge door marking to facilitate access.
The EV6 was designed according to the new ""Opposites United"" design philosophy. She is inspired by the opposites that can be found in nature and in being human. The focus of the design philosophy is a new visual identity that evokes positive forces and natural energy with contrasting combinations of sharply drawn style elements and plastic forms.The GT version of the EV6 was designed to bring something out of the ordinary to the crossover class. It offers a striking, impressive look with high-tech elements and a level of performance that is unprecedented in previous Kia electric vehicles.At the front of the vehicle, the typical Kia “tiger face” has been further developed for the digital era. Part of the new “digital tiger face” is the elegant, modern daytime running light with a dynamic, “sequential” light pattern. Underneath there is a flat air inlet, which visually underlines the width of the front of the vehicle and also enhances the high-tech look.
The EV6 was designed under the brand’s new design philosophy, ‘Opposites United’, which takes inspiration from the contrasts found in nature and humanity. At the centre of the design philosophy is a new visual identity evoking positive forces and natural energy, with contrasting combinations of sharp stylistic elements and sculptural shapes.Karim Habib, Senior Vice President and Head of Kia Global Design Center, elaborated: “EV6, as the first dedicated Kia EV, is a showcase of human-centred, progressive design and electrified power. We strongly believe EV6 is a compelling and relevant model for the new EV era. With EV6, we aimed to create a distinctive, impactful design by using a combination of sophisticated, high-tech features on pure and rich volumes while providing a dedicated EV aiming to define our future.” Designed to deliver something different in the crossover class, the GT version of the EV6 offers a distinctive, impactful exterior with high-tech features, as well as unprecedented levels of performance from a Kia electric vehicle. At the front, Kia’s ‘tiger face’ has been re-interpreted for the digital era. Forming part of this ‘Digital Tiger Face’, daytime running lights display a sleek, modern appearance and include a ‘sequential’ dynamic light pattern. Below this, a low air intake visually widens the front of the car, accentuating its high-tech image. The side profile displays a crossover-inspired silhouette, which is modern, sleek and aerodynamic. A character line runs along the bottom of the doors, curving upwards towards the rear wheel arches to visually elongate the profile of the car. Designed in part to realise ultimate aerodynamic performance, the rear displays a sloping C-pillar with an integrated black glossy insert which appears to extend the window glass. Above this sits a prominent wing-type roof spoiler that channels air downwards towards a raised lower spoiler, which sits atop the car’s unique rear light cluster
