Kia EV6

The Kia EV6 became the first Korean car to win 2022 European Car of the Year, setting a benchmark for affordable performance and fast charging. Built on the same E-GMP platform as the Ioniq 5, its GT variant delivers 576 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds, outpacing the #8 Chevrolet Bolt EUV by nearly 3 seconds and even beating a Lamborghini Urus. The 800-volt ultra-fast charging matches the Porsche Taycan’s system at a fraction of the price, adding 210 miles of range in 18 minutes—faster than the average for EVs under $50,000. Starting at $42,600, it offers supercar acceleration at family-car prices, with a sportier crossover coupe design that stands out from more utilitarian rivals.
