Kia's new electric SUV is the stylish, super-quick competitor of Elon Musk's nightmares — but it has one big downside
serves up vision-blurring quickness, a stylish interior, and head-turning style. But it comes up short in one key area. Rather than fading into the background with all the other little SUVs, the EV6's dramatic curves and distinct flair ensure it puts on a show wherever it goes. Its unusual proportions and exaggerated features combine to create something oddly gorgeous — kind of like Adam Driver.
The EV6 looks like it just touched down from another planet. And, fittingly, it can blast to warp speed like the Millennium Falcon. Thanks to beefier motors than those found in other EV6 models, the all-wheel-drive GT serves up a whopping 576 horsepower and 545 pound-feet of torque. Kia claims it scorches to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.Clicking into GT mode using a radioactive-green button on the steering wheel unleashes every ounce of the SUV's grunt and ensures thrills for all.
Sharp steering and tight handling around corners add to the excitement, the only downside being a jittery, stiff ride at times. The GT's sporty bucket seats hug you and keep you in place, while a smattering of bright-green accents added to an already-stylish interior remind you this is no ordinary EV6. The EV6's seats aren't high up and upright like other SUVs, but there's plenty of room in front and in back, even for tall people.
