Within a short time, Kia wants to electrify the entire model range. By 2027, customers of the currently fifth largest manufacturer on the European market alone will be offered 14 purely battery electrical models (EV), hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV). Already now, with compact vehicles such as the new Niro, all three of these drive alternatives are available. At the end of November, the EV6 GT also includes a particularly sporting version of the Electro-Crossovers EV6 into the program, which has recently been named European "Car Of The Year". The corner data - 430 kW / 585 horsepower, 740 Newton meter torque and 3.5 seconds for the sprint from zero to Tempo 100 - let up.

A race with the young racer Alex Kroker around Frankfurt quickly accelerated the pulse despite all respect for the applicable traffic rules, but placed a first impression of what the strongest electric car can afford from Kia. No question that convinces EV6 GT: despite the tight vote at each pace quietly on the road, curves are barely noticeable due to the low wank tendency. As a passenger I am surprised how fast Alex is really on the way with the GT, when I look over to the speed display, which I spawn on the left of the two seamlessly connected, curved 12,3-inch screens. When the lane becomes free, the GT shoots almost to overtaking. The feeling of security also predominates during braking (internally ventilated 380- and 360-millimeter discs), even if the driver delays very strongly, the vehicle does not appear. And above all, thanks to the exact steering, the KIA remains more and more direct accessible in "GT mode".
Two electric motors
Lots of Power provide the two electric motors, the front makes 160 kW / 218 hp, the rear 270 kW / 367 hp, together 430 kW / 585 hp. Through the four-wheel drive, a high driving dynamic is ensured in virtually every situation. Driving stability and traction are also excellent because the electronic blocking differential automatically leads the drive forces in curves to the wheels with the strongest grip.

But the GT can be except sports cars also a lot of everyday use. At 4.70 meters outside the outside, it offers a luggage compartment size from 480 to 1260 liters in the interior in the interior plus 20 liters in the "frunk" under the front hood, here, for example, the charging cables can be accommodated. The room offer is similar to that of a mid-range SUVs, for the sporty and comfortable flair, the black bowl seats provide vegan covers in suede optics.
Charging in 18 minutes
The tirical topic "charging" seems to be well solved. That it does not all too often, for that, the maximum range of 424 kilometers (WLTP) contributes. In addition, the charging time to the most powerful fast charging stations "only about 18 minutes from ten on eighty percent," as the manufacturer says. With the charging service "Kia Charge", where the Kia brand is involved in her parent company Hyundai, the ultra-fast 800 volt charge in the ionity network should be possible to more than 400 stations in 24 European countries, including 1600 high-performance points. "Fueled" is electricity from renewable sources. In addition, the customer's customers around 300,000 public charging points of the DCS network are available throughout Europe.

The EV6 GT is available from the end of the year, at prices, which were estimated in advance with at least 65.990 euros, is deductible the reduced environmental premium of 7500 euros net. A similar, certain still to be updated entry price would be a tempting statement. According to Kia, the GT should be orderable from the second half of 2022, but the first tranche is already sold out from a pre-sale phase last year.
