The Kia EV6 is one of our favourite electric cars of the moment, and this EV6 GT range-topper brings incredible performance courtesy of a 577bhp all-wheel-drive powertrain. Is this just an expensive Kia, or is it a genuinely a cut-price alternative to the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and Porsche Taycan? Editor Richard Ingram took the GT for a spin to find out...

That looks more lime than yellow. A wonderful review of a glorious product
İn my opinion Ev6 is the best ev. İ love my ev6...perfect car 😍
I agree
Stop buying the badge and buy the performance, simple as that.
The market's changing wild, especially in EV sector.
In fact, with a little research, you'll realize who's actually both the badge and the performance in the current EV market.
I remember in the 90’s people would avoid LG/Samsung like it was the plague and now look. The exact same thing is happening with Kia/Hyundai. Working their way to the top
The main difference is that the yellow button is green. Seems like a cool car. Great design, practical shape and quicker to 60 than a Giulia Quadrifoglio - would be a sweet daily driver.
Just a little remark to your contest. In sweden and norway, they use a rougher tarmac, than Denmark, germany etc. In all ev’s i have tried there is a significant increase in roadnoise, from the wheels when driving in sweden and norway compared to for instant Denmark. It migth have something to do with the volder climate in wintertimes.
Ah yes, but you’re forgetting we’re from the UK - where the roads are widely regarded as the worst in Europe!
What Rich said! 👆
@@ingraam7 Whoever thinks that haven't been East of Vienna then!
Thanks for the honest opinion. Refreshing to hear both sides. Does the manual seat have height adjustment ?
I agree about the markup on this thing in the USA is going to be astronomical. See some dealerships asking up to $70K for the GT line. Guessing this thing might be $90K to be one of the first to get one. This was a great review btw as it answered my questions as to how it would be to drive on regular roads and not just on a track. Great value no but once I felt that acceleration at a stop light I might not care. I will look for the GT line for now as even they are hard to get right now.
Trim & button looks green at my end, bit yellow 😉
April of 2023 and a local dealer in the US only needs about $64K for the GT. I loved my test drive but I think the more apt question is whether those upgrades in suspension and acceleration are worth the drop in range of nearly 50 miles. If you don't need to road trip this thing and you enjoy having some fun on occasion then the GT might be the right choice..Personally I like having the extra 100 hp or so in normal mode over the lower trim models like the GT line or Wind so I am favoring the GT. Would likely work on making those seats a little less aggressive though for everyday drives which shouldn't be that hard to do.
I just bought a house now I can have charging in my garage, now I’m just doing research on which ev to get
The EV6 is amazing. I love mine 😎

Great cinematography and video quality... but terrible poor quality audio from the inside of the car. You need better microphones for those takes... not your phone's poor one...
Sorry Juan, we had some issues with the GoPro. Won't happen next time!
off couirse you want it , cant wait for the delivery
Nice, but for the same price I’ll be getting the Fisker Ocean One to replace my Ioniq 5 which has been brilliant over the last year.
I love the way this kia looks! I would buy this over any tesla tbh.
I don't even want to know what the markup will be that the dealers will do. These damn kia dealerships have gotten super greedy thinking they selling ferrari's or something. Not to mention their service in general is less to be desired. But the GT is definitely a great addition to their line up and taking kia to new levels that they never got into before. I think I'll wait for EV cars to get more refined and charging to become bit more available and standard before I think about getting an EV in the future.
Want one! 👍👍😀❤
It is really difficult to hear what Richard is saying while driving, an external mic would certainly be appreciated!
Or a hearing aid
impatiently waiting for the Ioniq6 N....
Apparently, road noise is an issue.😉
is it already sold out?
Not in the UK, no. Prices from £61,595.
@@DrivingElectric I don't think they are available yet in the USA as no dealers are offering them Sept. 2022 and I have heard they are sold out but I don't know what that really means.
What is the range
263 miles (WLTP!)
Your last bit of advice (to pass on the EV G GT) is acknowledged and ignored ; )
I'd shell out the extra 10k for that.
Each to their own!
The car isn’t as quiet as you thought it was. Could hardly hear you🤪
Sound is terrible while yr driving in this video
I was excited about EVs but now I'm mostly frustrated. Where are the smaller, more affordable EVs? Europe has them, China has them, for the most part the US does not have them. EVs will never become common until prices come down. If that means range of 200 miles instead of 300 and horsepower under 300 instead of over 500, that's ok. Keep having the high dollar EVs available but not the only ones available. The Chevy Bolt has the right idea, I'd prefer RWD but a starting price of 26k is exactly what we need. And it still goes 260 miles on a charge and has 200 hp.
