Kia EV6

The Kia EV6 brings long-range, zero-emissions power, 800V ultra-fast charging and distinctive styling to the crossover SUV market. The EV6 is Kia’s first car to be based on the company’s dedicated new platform for battery electric vehicles (BEVs).

Powered exclusively by electric energy and with a choice of multiple long-range, zero-emissions powertrain configurations, the 800V charging capability means EV6 can go from 10 to 80 percent battery charge in just 18 minutes. The EV6 offers buyers a choice of multiple fully-electric, zero-emission powertrain configurations, including long-range (77.4 kWh) and standard-range (58.0 kWh) high-voltage battery packs. EV6 GT-line is available with both long-range and standard-range battery packs, while EV6 GT features the long-range battery pack only. This is Kia’s first electric vehicle to be available with two-wheel (2WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) options.

The EV6 is fitted with energy-recuperation technologies to maximize driving range including Kia’s latest-generation energy-efficient heat pump, which scavenges waste heat from the car’s coolant system. The vehicle also comes with Kia’s smart regenerative braking system, which is operated by paddle shifters behind the steering wheel so drivers can quickly and easily slow the car and recuperate kinetic energy to maximize driving range and efficiency.

Inside the vehicle the high-tech infotainment system includes 12-inch dual screens and curved displays applied to EV6 have thin film panels that reduce the impact of light. The EV6 also features an augmented reality (AR) head-up display system which shows alerts from the car’s Advanced Driver Assistance System, details of vehicle speed, and turn-by-turn navigation instructions.

Safety features include Safe Exit Assist (SEA) which helps avoid collisions with a rear side vehicle when exiting EV6. When the occupant opens the door to exit the vehicle after a stop, the system provides a warning if an approaching vehicle from the rear side is detected. Lane Following Assist (LFA) helps centre the vehicle in the lane, Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2) helps maintain a set distance and speed from the vehicle ahead and Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) helps remotely park or exit a parking spot with the driver operating EV6 from outside the vehicle.
