Kia EV6 GT Review: Old-School Thrills, New-School Polish
We spend a week with the 641 hp Kia EV6 GT to see whether the experience lives up to the numbers.
| 0–60 mph | 3.4s |
|---|---|
| Power | 641 hp |
| Top speed | 162 mph |
| Layout | AWD |
Numbers rarely tell the whole story, but the Kia EV6 GT backs its figures with a character you feel within the first mile. This is a machine built by people who clearly understand what enthusiasts actually want.
Performance
With 641 horsepower on tap, the EV6 GT dispatches the 0–60 mph sprint in 3.4s and presses on to a 162 mph top end. Yet the numbers matter less than how accessible the performance feels from behind the wheel.
On the road
Through a sequence of corners the EV6 GT feels alert and trustworthy. Its AWD configuration delivers traction when you want it and adjustability when you ask for it, the kind of breadth that separates a great driver’s car from a merely fast one.
The best fast cars do not just go quickly — they make you want to go quickly again.
Living with it
As a companion the EV6 GT surprises. There is genuine refinement beneath the aggression, and the daily realities of fuel, comfort and usability have not been sacrificed entirely at the altar of performance.
The verdict
Judged on its own terms, the Kia EV6 GT succeeds emphatically. It knows what it wants to be, achieves it with conviction, and leaves you plotting reasons to drive it again.
