The Kia EV6 is the first offering from the South Korean brand that's built from the ground up as a pure electric vehicle. It had a massive global debut in March 2021, but today Kia offers some insight into the EV6 bound for the US market. For all intents and purposes it's the same EV6 you'll find elsewhere, but there are some interesting differences for US buyers.
On the performance side, the main item of note is that Kia lists a maximum estimated range of around 300 miles. This compares to 316 miles per WLTP standards mentioned in the global debut; Kia doesn't mention an EPA rating so an official figure is still in the works. As for power, the range-topping GT will use dual motors for a combined 576 horsepower (430 kilowatts) driving all four wheels. It's enough to send the EV6 GT to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds.
