Its’ is a more straightforwardly modern design, and there’s a definite resemblance to the Jaguar I-Pace EV here. That’s a good thing. The EV6 is long and squat like it thinks it’s a higher-clearance Porsche Panamera, and its front and back ends send a definite message that it’s a dynamic, sporty performer. Think of this: while in length it’s roughly the same as the VW ID.
That bug aside, this is a comfortable interior, modern but not as disorienting as some of the other new EVs coming onto the market. The seats are great and can be adjusted easily for a good driving position, and the rear row with its flat floor provides a lot of room. There doesn’t seem to be much of a price being paid for the squashed, Jaguar I-Pace-like exterior silhouette of the EV6, and compliments to Kia’s designers for that.
The EV6 is the very first new vehicle produced by Kia since its big re-branding last year, and the first dedicated battery-electric model based on the automaker’s all-new Electric-Global Modular Platform . What that means is that the vehicle is conceived from the ground up as an EV, and that is a substantial advantage, both in terms of design and ergonomics but also of performance.
Speaking of which, like in the Ioniq 5, here you have a choice of levels for your regenerative braking from none to Max, which effectively becomes one-pedal driving. Again, the choice is yours. The level is set by using the paddle shifters on back of the steering wheel.The Kia EV6 was just named Car of the Year by the folks who know these things over in Europe, and it’s hard to argue with their choice.
