Kia’s new EV6 all-electric crossover sports utility vehicle (SUV) will make its UK debut appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This will be the first time the car has been on display for the public to see.
The new EV6 will appear on Goodwood’s ‘Electric Aveune’ that showcases the best electric vehicles (EVs) that are available or coming soon. The event runs from 8-11 July.
The EV6 is the first Kia that’s based on the Korean carmaker’s E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform) technology. It’s available with a 77.4kWh long-range battery pack and 800V charging as standard. As a result, it offers up to 316 miles (510km) of range and can be charged to up to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes.
The top-end model, the EV6 GT, is a nippy mover equipped with 430kW (585ps/577 horsepower) dual motors. It has a targeted acceleration from 0-62mph (0-100kph) in just 3.5-seconds, with a top speed of 162mph (260kph).
The EV6 GT also features the addition of electronic-Limited Slip Differential software. This allows drivers to enjoy confident control with a dynamic ride and great handling in all conditions.
