NEW KIA EV6The company’s first electric vehicle based on the company’s electrical-global modular platform (E-GMP). Advanced technology platform, initially designed for internal combustion motor vehicles, the platforms of electric vehicles do not experience problems. EV6 as a reflection of the E-GMP platform; The best internal volume of its class offers a highly impressive 644 km driving range and 800 V ultra fast charging, which offers car owners the possibility of charging from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 18 minutes.

EV6, which symbolizes advanced technology positioning, is the first global model to use the new design philosophy of ‘Opposities United’ in which Kia is inspired by contrasts in nature and humans. At the center of the design philosophy, there is a new visual identity that evokes natural energy with sharp design elements, opposite combinations of different shapes and positive powers. Kia EV6 Before that; The car of 2022 in Ireland, 2022 What Car? The car of the year was selected at the 2021 awards of the year, the Crossover of the year; He received the ‘Premium’ award at the 2022 Automobile Awards in Germany and a joint award at the 2021/2022 awards of the best cars of the first year. It offers a clear and uninterrupted experience with a 12.3 -inch dual screen design and attracts all eyes. The new KIA EV6 ‘permanent magnet synchronous motor produces exactly 170 horsepower. Maximum speed (km/s) 186km/speed. Energy consumption (KWH/100km) 16.4. The front luggage capacity is 52 liters. The rear baggage capacity, the seats in the upright position 520 liters. It also attracts attention in the sporting design class with the length of 4,695mm. While there is a width of 1,880mm, the engine produces 350nm torque.

When the vehicle is viewed from the outside, it attracts attention with its very sporty different design, while the back long sporty wing structure and full rear stop lights placed on the trunk bring the rear part of the vehicle to the forefront more than the strong structure on the front. The instrument panel and the middle console in the vehicle are quite driven -oriented. The driver’s seat, which was designed in a multi -faceted way in a sporty style, was unfortunately not so comfortable in driving. One of the reasons that bothers me during the test is that the seat is very limited and the driving position remains a little above.

I did not see a very important difference between the first departure acceleration of the vehicle, especially between sport mode and normal mode and acceleration. Although the first departure has a series of acceleration, it may be a mistake to expect a high performance at the further acceleration speeds as expected from the electric motor. Because I could not experience the performance I expected from the house6 car, although I forced the boundaries of the vehicle many times in all driving modes, I could not feel too much. I liked the vehicle design and interior hardware. But it must be a bit difficult to capture the air that it reflects from the outside in terms of performance and usage style. In addition, sudden slows and brake tests at high speeds, I did not get the brake performance I waited again. The rear vision of the vehicle is zero where it is. The camera systems in the inside were not quite enough for me. I was hoping to fully live the performance and driving features I expected in the same way in the same way in driving.
