Kia EV6 Features
The new Kia EV6 comes with a host of great standard and optional features, including:
- Panoramic curved display with two 12.3" screens
- Interior made from sustainable material
- Rear-Wheel-Drive
- Spacious front trunk
- Apple Watch connectivity
- Vehicle-to-Load port
- Fast multi-charging
- Available e-AWD
- Tow up to 2,000 lbs
- Standard and long range battery
- Available Charge Point Home Flex Level 2 EV Charger (installation included!)
The Vehicle-to-Load port allows your new EV6 to act as a portable generator so you can power your electronics away from home. Charge your phone or laptop and even charge your electric bike, camping stove or projector. It brings a whole new meaning to 'glamping.'
Futuristic Design
The sleek design of the new all-electric Kia EV6 is truly a car made for the future. Choose from three current color combinations: Steel Gray Matte with Black interior, Glacier with Black/Green interior or the First Edition exclusive Urban Yellow with Black/Black interior.
The interior of the new Kia EV6 features sustainable materials, including more than 100 recycled PET bottles used for interior parts, use of only vegan leather and all LED lighting. The electric EV6 SUV adds even more space for five inside thanks to the use of giga steel for thinner seats to increase legroom in the 2nd-row. A flatter floor and extra interior storage up front also add cabin space. A front trunk increases storage capacity even more.
Ultra-Fast Charging
What may be most exciting about the all-new Kia EV6 is its multi-charging system. Each new EV6 can be charged using a 400V and 800V DC fast charging, allowing you to get 210-miles of charge after just 18 minutes**! The new EV6 can be charged on the go at any of the over 41,400 charging stations across the US. Or charge from home using the 11kw on-board charger that allows for a Level 2 240v recharge. The Kia Connect app lets you track your charge status, remotely control your EV Kia, pre-set climate controls and more!
Kia Advanced Safety Features
Of course, the new Kia EV6 features Kia's advanced safety features plus some new goodies:
- Highway Driving Assist 2
- Blind-Spot View Monitor
- Surround-view monitor
- Remote Smart Parking Assist
- Forward Collision Avoidance Assist
The 2022 Kia EV6 will arrive in early 2022, with a high-performance Kia EV6 GT arriving later in 2022. The EV6 GT boasts up to 576 horsepower and goes 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds! Watch the new Kia EV6 GT in action against a McLaren 570S, a Porsche 911 Targa and three other supercars for a 400m drag race!
