Kia EV6
The EV6 electric crossover is getting a larger battery pack with a capacity of 84 kWh, resulting in improved range. The high-performance EV6 GT is almost as powerful (576 horsepower) but not as sporty and track-ready as the new IONIQ 5 N from Hyundai. The headlights, bumpers and wheels have all been redesigned, while updated content can be found across the lineup. Don’t miss the new steering wheel or the latest version of Kia’s infotainment system.
