Yes, it can compete with the Taycan and i4 M50, and for less $$$.
The GT is the top of Kia’s EV6 model line. That line starts with the EV6 Wind, available as a 225-hp RWD or 320-hp AWD setup, moves up to the GT-Line model with the same power, and progresses thence to the mighty and powerful GT you see here, Kia’s most powerful car ever. The heart of the GT’s performance lies in its two AC synchronous permanent magnet motors—215 hp in the front and 362 hp out back.
All EV6 powertrains feed from a 77.4-kWh battery, a fairly small system compared to the i4 M50’s 81-kWh, the Taycan’s 93.4-kWh, and the Tesla’s 100-kWh battery packs. As a result, range of the Kia EV6 GT is a less-competitive 206 miles, but how often do you drive more than 206 miles? When you buy your EV6 GT you also get 1000 kWh of free charging from Electrify America stations and three years to use them all up. Life’s full of compromises.
A day’s drive in the desert outside Las Vegas proved the EV6 GT is a comfortable cruiser in what would be everyday use. The racing bucket seats are comfortable in non-racing environments, and all the human-machine interfaces work without hassle. Top speed is listed at 161 mph, but we didn’t try that out. There are 20 standard driver-assistance systems to help keep you safe.
At the race track the car is also impressive. We got several laps around the road course outside the LVMS oval. Like all electric cars, it wasn’t as absorbing an experience as a similar gasoline-powered car with a manual transmission, but we’re adapting to an electric future. For instance, I got to take a Taycan around the road course at the Porsche Experience Center in Carson, California, and that car felt more lively and sporty than the Kia.
Yes, the drift area. The EV6 GT has a drift mode, which disables all traction control and sends all power and torque to the rear motor. Again, I’d have liked a more gradual accelerator pedal feel, but that just might be my own lame driving. Any good driver can adjust his or her style to match the equipment.
