¹For at kunne opn den maksimale opladningshastighed skal EV6 bruge en 800 V oplader til elbiler, som leverer minimum 240 kW strm. Den faktiske opladningshastighed og -tid kan pvirkes af batteritemperaturen og vejrforholdene.

²Rkkevidden er fastsat i overensstemmelse med den standardiserede EU-mleprocedure (WLTP) med udgangspunkt i en batteripakke p 77,4 kWh, baghjulstrk og 19 flge (bilen p billedet er udstyret med 20 flge). Den individuelle krestil og andre faktorer, ssom hastighed, udetemperatur, topografi og anvendelsen af strmforbrugende enheder, pvirker den reelle rkkevidde og kan eventuelt reducere den.

³Kias lithium-ion hjspndingsbatterier er fremstillet sdan, at de ved almindelig brug sikrer problemfri brug i mange r. Kia garanterer, at batteriet har en sundhedstilstand (SOH) p minimum 70% (mlt med Kias specialudstyr) i en periode p 7 r eller 150.000 km, hvilket som indtrffer frst, regnet fra bilens frste ibrugtagnings-/registreringsdato (kapacitetsgaranti glder kun hjspndingsbatterier p Elektriske biler (EV) samt Plug-in Hybrid biler (PHEV). Se mere om garantierne p hjspndingsbatterierne i Hybridbiler (HEV) i hftet Garanti & Service). For at sikre optimal brug og lngst mulig levetid af hjspndingsbatteriet skal bilen betjenes, som beskrevet i bilens instruktionsbog.

⁴Kias garanti dkker i en periode p 7 r eller 150.000 km fra den frste indregistrering af bilen alt efter, hvad der kommer frst. Garantien dkker alle fejl, der kan tilskrives en produktions- eller samlefejl, ved almindelig brug af bilen. Fejl, der opstr p grund af almindelig slitage som fx dkslid og slid p bremsebelgninger, er ikke omfattet af garantien. Afvigelser fra gldende garantibetingelser, f.eks. for batteri, lak og udstyr, i henhold til lokale vilkr og betingelser. Glder i alle EU-lande (plus Norge, Schweiz, Island og Gibraltar) i henhold til lokale vilkr og betingelser.

Kia EV6 review

You can check the latest prices using our New Car Deals pages.

All versions of the EV6 have a maximum charging speed of up to 238kW, but because of the fairly low number of super-fast public chargers in the UK right now, youre more likely to be charging at 50-100kW. At the lower end of this range, a 10-80% charge will take around 70 minutes.

Even entry-level EV6 Air models are pretty well equipped, with 19in alloys, climate control, rain-sensing wipers, heated door mirrors, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats with driver lumbar support adjustment.

Wed upgrade to Horizonthough, because for not a lot of extra cash you get adaptive headlights, front parking sensors, some extra safety features, heated rear seats, wireless phone-charging, an electric tailgate and some premium paint options.

Its such good value that there seems little reason to go for GT-Line trim above it, unless youre desperate for all-wheel drive (which you cant get with Horizon). GT-Line also gets slightly sportier looks and a device that allows the charging port to double as a 3.5kW three-pin plug socket.

Range-topping GT-Line S models get larger 20in alloys, exterior door handles that automatically pop out for you to grab, ventilated front seats and heated outer rear seats although its too pricey for us to recommend.

The dashboard layout of the EV6 is futuristic. It has an interesting pattern on the top which is unlike any other car we have seen. The minimal layout, with just the two curved screens, helps it look really clean. The 2-spoke steering also helps solidify this minimalistic design.

Being based on a pure EV platform, the EV6 gets a flat floor. This has helped designers open a lot of space and give a floating effect to the centre console. Not only does this help make the car feel different, but also opens up a lot of room for storage spaces in the cabin, which we will get to a little later.

The seats are very comfortable and supportive and have 10-way power adjustability. This helps you get in a natural driving position no matter the size. Also, while charging - these seats can recline to an almost horizontal level (zero-gravity) which helps you relax and nap.Internationally, the seat covers are built from recycled plastic but in India, the options will include sewed and vegan leather. However, you still get door pads that are built from recycled PET bottles.

Features

The EV6 is packed to the gills with features. Standing on the dashboard are two curved 12.3-inch displays which are for the driver and the infotainment. The display clarity and software smoothness is super slick and easily competes with systems used by Mercedes-Benz. The driver gets a host of different layouts which change with flowing animations and the infotainment also gets simplistic yet useful graphics. I especially like the one with the battery and range display but I wish the car displayed on the screen was the EV6.

The infotainment is paired with a sweet-sounding 14-speaker Meridian sound system which gets 3D acoustic sound - just like in luxury cars. Other than that, you also get ventilated and heated seats, heated steering, dual-zone climate control, ambient lights, a sunroof, and a 360-degree camera from which you can also remotely monitor your car while it is charging.

Kias first EV for India even gets a full ADAS suite with Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Emergency Brakes, and more. Special mention in the feature department goes to the heads-up display which gets augmented reality displays for navigation and warnings. It can superimpose the image onto the road ahead to guide you better.

Practicality

As we said, the Kia EV6 is based on an EV-specific platform that helps it offer lots of space and practicality. The storage below the centre console can easily accommodate a small bag and the storage under the armrest too is deep and can also accommodate a small bag. The gadget charging option also comes in plenty with two Type-C, one USB, one 12-Volt, and a wireless charger in the front. The rear passengers get two seat-mounted Type C ports and a laptop charger.

Rear Seat

The rear seats offer good space for someone under 6 feet tall. Knee room is generous and the headroom is ample too, but, you cant stretch your feet under the front seat as there is not enough clearance. The high floor also leads to lacking under-thigh support. Dial in the upright backrest and the EV6 is not the ideal car for rear seat occupants on a long road trip. However, city journeys will be fine even with five onboard.
