The performance focused EV6 eGT is scheduled to arrive in Australia either late in 2022 or early 2023.
Built on the company's new 800V Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the EV6 will be available in two grades - the Air and GT-Line variants - both fitted with the long-range, 77.4hkWh battery pack. The EV6 Air will be available in rear wheel drive only (RWD) with the top trim GT-Line available in RWD or all wheel drive (AWD) options. The RWD single-motor EV6 entry-level comes in with 168kW and 350Nm, and a quoted driving range of 528km, but you can expect a real-world range of 420km or better depending on your city/highway driving ratio. Sitting on 19-inch wheels, the Air delivers pretty decent Performance, with Kia claiming 100km/h can be reached in 7.3 seconds. The EV6 offers 800V ultra-fast charging capability that, on a 350kW ultra-rapid charger, enables the battery’s level of charge to be boosted from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 18 minutes.
THE EV6 AIR WILL BE AVAILABLE IN REAR WHEEL DRIVE ONLY (RWD) WITH THE
TOP TRIM GT-LINE AVAILABLE IN RWD OR ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) OPTIONS.
The RWD single motor GT-Line comes with 20-inch alloys as standard and a driving range of 504km. The optional AWD dual motor gives the EV6 real extra punch, delivering 239k W and 605Nm, with a 0-100km/h time of 5.2 seconds. The AWD also sits on 20-inch alloys and offers a range of 480km but once again, you can expect a real-world range of around 400km depending on your city/highway driving ratio. Infotainment and safety features across the range are extensive. Standard on all models are high-quality displays, navigation, wireless phone charger, paddle shifters, LED interior lighting, USB chargers, 12V outlet in the boot, power folding mirrors, smart key and push button start, dual zone climate control, and much more. Standard ADAS safety features include AEB with Junction Turning, Blind Spot Detection, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and Front and Rear Parking Sensors amongst them.
The GT-Line models get plenty of extras, including the GT-Line body kit, 64-colour ambient mood light, Augmented Head Up Display, Premium Relaxation Seats up front, Blind Spot View Monitor, 3D Surround View Camera, Remote Smart Park Assist, Smart Power Tailgate, and more. The Kia EV6 Air will be available in six colours, while the EV6 GT-Line will be available in five colours, including Moonscape matte paint exclusive to the model. 500 units of the EV6 (Air and GT-Line trims) have been earmarked for Australia during 2022 and the allocation will be staggered throughout the year. With local interest having been strong, Kia Australia says it is hoping to increase that number. The entry-level Air model is priced at $67,990, the single-motor GT-Line variant at $74,990, and the AWD GT-Line model at $82.990.
The performance focused EV6 eGT is scheduled to arrive in Australia either late in 2022 or early 2023.
