Kia Debuts new EV6 SUV with Range-Topping 577HP GT Model

[hellrotm]

So the BMW EV that is supposedly worthy of an “M” badge is slower than a Kia...nice.

[Humdizzle]

definitely attractive. i'd debadge, lower and add wheels. would almost give it a hatch/wagon/cross turismo look.

What’s up with those crazy headrests in Kia? I got cervical disk disease just by looking at those.

Kia of Auburn posted these approximate prices…

[dgoldenz]

$80k for a Kia SUV...does that mean $90k with options? Expensive!

I hope they are wrong because this is ~20k more than Model Y Performance. Makes no sense.

Handsome vehicle, me thinks KIA is pulling ahead of Hyundai in the looks department

There is no way the GT is that much. It's 58k GBP and that includes VAT. Genesis doesn't even have an $80k car, no way Kia will.

That pricing does seem off. Kia already priced the EV6 "First Edition" back in June, 1500 units. It is a loaded 77.4kwh long range version for $58,500.

Another great looking design from Hyundai group

[gatorfast]

Very nice design, price point, and specs. Looks like another winner for Kia.

I love any car with those Flourecent/Electric Green Brake Calipers!
Seriously... This is really nice.

[RRoccoT]

Why is anything about a KIA on this BMW site?

[Crazyprac]

Why not? General automotive (non-bmw) talk. You didn't have to click on it if didn't fancy you.

On topic, it's very nice design, but I still prefer the Hyundai sibling.
