Kia EV6 GT: A Stunning Car with a Competitive Price, but Does It Live Up to the Hype?

The increase in power in the Kia EV6 GT is truly remarkable. The previous flagship model, the GT-Line e-AWD trim, boasted an impressive 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. These figures alone are enough to impress, especially when compared to a Porsche 718 Cayman which only has 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, albeit with less weight to carry.

However, Kia takes it a step further with the EV6 GT, ramping up the power to 576 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque. To put this into perspective, this is 142 more horses than a Cayenne Turbo and almost as much torque as a Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid. It’s worth noting that the Porsche SUV is around 900 pounds heavier than the smaller Kia model.

Consequently, the EV6 GT accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.4 seconds. Kia proudly points out that this is faster than renowned sports cars like the Mercedes-AMG GT, the McLaren 570S, and the Ferrari California T.
