PERFORMANCE

Optimal Performance

The 2023 Kia EV6 puts performance first. Throughout its various trim levels, you’ll find a range of metrics that demonstrate the power of the motor. Take the base level, for example. It’s capable of 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Upgrade to the highest level, and you’ll now experience 576 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque.

In terms of EPA-estimated MPGe, you’ll find 134 city/101 highway MPGe.* These awesome numbers provide the flexibility you need to take on daily drives, store runs, road trips, and so much more.

To continue enjoying this fuel economy, you’ll need to charge the vehicle. With the standard 120V cable, it will reach a full charge in about eight hours or overnight. However, a much quicker option comes into play with a public DC Fast Charger. This powerful equipment adds up to 80% of range in approximately 18 minutes.

This all-electric crossover comes in your choice of Rear-wheel Drive (RWD) or e-All-Wheel Drive (e-AWD). Regardless of choice, you’ll have access to the Drive Mode Select system with options for Eco, Normal, Sport, and Snow modes.

TECHNOLOGY

Innovative Interior

The technology systems of the 2023 Kia EV6 emphasize the innovative machine you’re in. As soon as you step inside, you’ll see the 12.3-inch Dual Panoramic Displays, which house both the digital dashboard and the touchscreen.

This touchscreen connects to your favorite apps, like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, where you can choose your favorite tunes to stream through the standard 14-speaker Meridian Premium Audio System. A standard wireless phone charger also comes in handy as you power up your phone on the way to work.

Those cool systems are just the beginning of what’s possible. With them, you’ll appreciate the additional information, awareness, and power they provide.

INTERIOR

Impressive Amenities

Those systems contribute to comfort much like the interior amenities of the Kia EV6. Comfortable seats and customizable temperature settings will create the cozy cabin you’re going for. Standard features start things off nicely and include the following:

  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • 8-way power-adjustable front seats
  • Dual-Zone Auto Climate Control
  • 60/40 split-folding rear seat

Also cool are the steering wheel and seating materials themselves, comprised of full vegan leather to exude a sleek look and appeal to the eco-conscious driver. Additional upgrades take the temperature controls up a notch, with features like a heated steering wheel and heated outboard rear seats.

ALL-ELECTRIC KIA EV6 WINS 2023 NORTH AMERICAN UTILITY VEHICLE OF THE YEAR


Second Win for Kia in Three Years

  • EV6 recognized for automotive innovation, design, safety features, performance, technology, driver satisfaction, user experience, value
  • Second North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™ win for Kia in three years
  • EV6 was selected by jury of 50 automotive experts

(Press Release) DETROIT, Mich., January 11, 2023 – Today, the all-electric Kia EV6 was named North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™ by the North American Car of the Year (NACTOY) jury. This is the second occasion in three years that the NACTOY jury has named a Kia vehicle as its top choice in the category, and the first win for a Kia electric vehicle (EV).


“Since going on sale in early 2022, the EV6 model range has illustrated the sophistication and refinement inherent to Kia EV engineering, and North American customers have taken notice,” said Sean Yoon, President and CEO, Kia America. “In a year with three electric finalists, this win proves that EV6 is not only a top utility vehicle, but also an exemplary EV.”


The EV6 was selected by 50 automotive experts from print, online, radio, and broadcast media. As part of the evaluation process, NACTOY jurors tested vehicles ranging from sports cars to pickup trucks, and assessed criteria including automotive innovation, design, safety features, performance, technology, driver satisfaction, user experience, and value.


The EV6 continues to rise in popularity. To date, more than 19,000 EV6 models have been sold at Kia retailers throughout all 50 states, including the 576-hp EV6 GT that went on sale in December 2022. The EV6 delivers jaw-dropping performance, ultra-fast DC charging compatibility, available onboard power, and a flat-floor interior that utilizes innovative materials throughout the cabin. The EV6 offers a wide array of advanced driver assistance systems1, a remarkable level of connectivity features, as well as Kia’s latest-generation energy-efficient heat pump, which scavenges waste heat from the car’s coolant system. The EV6 is a critical part of the Kia “Plan S” strategy to launch at least two battery-electric vehicles (BEV) per year and build a full line-up of 14 BEVs by 2027.
