The 2023 Kia EV6 GT shows the Korean brand knows how to do electric performance.
The most expensive Kia is also the most powerful. The 800-volt architecture and 77.4-kwh battery pack remain the same, but Kia essentially swapped out the rear motor of the GT-Line and put it up front , then dropped in a larger 270-kw/362-hp motor to power the rear wheels. They make a combined 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque, but the larger motors are the largest contributor to the 4,795-pound curb weight, which is 293 more than a similarly equipped GT-Line.
The GT mode is much easier to access. Press the lime green button on the steering wheel and it turns most settings to Sport+, so the pedal firms up, the suspension stiffens, and the stability control relaxes. It didn’t feel dramatically different from Sport mode, but the grip was more pronounced and the weight was better managed on the long sweeping turns on a single-lane highway around Lake Mead, where the EV6 GT was at its best.
