News, reviews and comparisons of electric cars and SUVs from Australia's most trusted experts
Striking to behold and brilliant to drive, the Kia EV6 set new benchmarks for electric vehicles when it burst onto the scene in 2022. A mechanical twin to the equally bold Hyundai Ioniq 5, the EV6 shares the Hyundai’s dedicated ‘built from the ground up’ E-GMP platform meaning you score 800v fast-charging capability, yet it offers a swoopier exterior design, unique cabin architecture and slightly sportier dynamics. Like the Hyundai, the EV6 is deceptively large and its cabin is roomy, comfortable and well-equipped. The interior is also daringly designed and pleasingly practical thanks to a sweeping digital dash and clever storage solutions. An unabashed, forward-thinking halo model, the EV6 demonstrated new found levels of refinement, dynamic cohesion, performance and build quality for Kia which it now continues to build on with fresh models like the EV3, EV5 and EV9 SUVs.
There are four versions of the EV6 to choose from, kicking off at $72,590 for the Air RWD and topping out at $99,590 for the flagship GT AWD. A facelift model which should offer tweaked exterior styling and battery/performance improvements is due to arrive later in 2024.
