650 horsepower for €70,550: Kia has fun with the EV6

Kia shakes up the norms with a proposition that blows minds. An all-wheel drive system, sporty both inside and out, here comes the EV6 GT.

Behind this sharp line and its wise Kia badge lies a true electric monster. 650 horsepower in Launch Control mode, 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, and a top speed of 260 km/h… Welcome to the world of electric GTs, Korean style.

This supercharged version of the EV6 gains muscle compared to the already impressive model launched in 2022. It features a new 84 kWh battery, an all-wheel drive system, and most importantly, a GT mode activated by a bright green button on the steering wheel. A nearly childlike detail… but one that unleashes all the power. In GT mode, it already boasts 609 hp, without even triggering the launch control.

More than just a straight-line sports car

But the EV6 GT doesn’t just go straight. Thanks to its adaptive suspension, redesigned shock absorbers, and sharper steering, it promises a finely-tuned dynamic behavior without sacrificing comfort. To enhance the experience, Kia added two fun gadgets: a virtual gear selector (VGS) and a sound generator (ASD). This allows for the simulation of a dual-clutch gearbox sensation, complete with gear shift sounds… even if it’s all obviously artificial.

Range? Up to 450 km, or even 550 km in the city. And with its ultra-fast charging (10 to 80% in 18 minutes), long trips are no longer a problem. The EV6 GT also inherits the latest driver assistance technologies from the EV9 SUV, making it a GT that’s as technological as it is powerful.

Finally, Kia pays attention to details: bucket seats in suede, neon green stitching, matching calipers, dual digital screens, and a new “Constellation” light signature.

The new Kia EV6 GT is now available for order in France, priced at €70,550. Enough to turn heads… and challenge some beliefs about European GTs. Yes, Kia is having fun. But seriously.
