Join us as we show you around the facelifted Kia EV6
)
The Kia EV6 is one of the most promising cars in its segment. It shares its platform with the brilliant Hyundai IONIQ 5, but is it the better deal?
Does its larger battery, faster charging and new tech give it the edge over the old car? Join us as we find out.
How much is the Kia EV6?
The Kia EV6 starts at around £45.5k for the Air trim, and goes up to around £58k for the top-spec GT-Line S model we tested.
Kia EV6 GT-Line S specs
324-mile range (361 miles for the RWD version)
84kWh battery
258kW max charging speed (10 to 80% in 18min)
320hp
0-62mph in 5.3 seconds
Should you buy a Kia EV6?
All in all, the new facelifted Kia EV6 with faster charging speeds, more range, a revised cabin and a new face is a very attractive proposition for new or existing EV buyers.
But then there’s its Hyundai IONIQ 5 sibling that is not only cheaper but charges faster, has a heat pump as standard, a bigger boot (and ‘froot’), retro looks and more range with the right trim.
So, between the two, we’d probably lean more towards the IONIQ 5, but if you don't mind spending a little bit more for a higher seating position and a longer warranty, then go with the Kia.
