Korean car manufacturer Kia premiered electric cars at the IAA Mobility Show in Germany, the new 2022 Kia EV6 Crossover.
New 2022 Kia EV6 Crossover is Kia’s first dedicated battery electric vehicle (BEV), which, along with its premiere, represents Kia’s new design philosophy and commitment to sustainable mobility.
The pioneering EV6 crossover is an exclusively battery-powered electric vehicle created under Kia’s new design philosophy (Opposites United) and also the first vehicle built on Kia’s new E-GMP platform (Electric-Global Modular Platform).
2022 Kia EV6 Battery Range
The EV6, which is powered solely by electricity, offers a long-range (2 options) and zero emissions. It is Kia’s first electric vehicle available with a 2-wheel drive (2WD) or 4-wheel drive (4WD). The EV6 in the 2WD version with a capacity of 77.4 kWh can travel up to 528 kilometers on a single charge in WLTP * combined driving mode. With a maximum torque of 605 Nm available on the AWD option, the EV6 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 5.2 seconds.
All EV6 options have the ability to charge 800 and 400 volts without the need for additional components or adapters. Thanks to the advanced 800-volt fast charging mode, the new Kia EV6 can be charged from 10% to 80% of the battery capacity in just 18 minutes. For outdoor adventures, the EV6 has been given the V2L (vehicle-to-load) function, which thanks to the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) enables up to 3.6 kW of charging power from the vehicle battery via a simple converter that converts the external charging port into an electrical outlet.
EV6 Interior colors
Interior comes in three colors: Steel Gray Matte with Black/Black, Urban Yellow with Black/Black, and Glacier with Black/Green.
Kia EV6 Interior
The EV6 front seats use Giga steel for thinner seats, which maintain comfort while increasing rear-seat knee room. An electric vehicle’s design also provides more room through a flatter floor, extra front interior storage, and a front trunk, enabling the EV6 to have interior volume similar to many mid-size SUVs.
The EV6 incorporates sustainable design elements throughout its construction, from the use of more than 100 recycled PET bottles for interior parts, 100% LED lighting and the exclusive use of vegan leather.
Dual 12.3-inch screens provide a stunning, 24 inches combined curved display for navigation, diagnostic, convenience, entertainment, and immersive vehicle information features. An integrated blue light filter helps reduce eye strain and driver fatigue.
The available groundbreaking head-up display (HUD) shows key safety information and route guidance in augmented reality, providing additional info to help keep your eyes focused on the road ahead of you.
