The new Kia EV6 GT is yours for 76,050,000 Korean Won plus additional costs, which is more expensive than the previous model. Despite the price hike, the latest improvements will make you fall in love with it even more, even those who regret driving the pre-facelift model a few moments ago.

Like the normal EV6, it features new G-shaped headlamps conjoined to the return of the signature Kia Tiger Nose grille, refreshed taillights, new wheel designs, not to mention the Civic Type R-styled rear bumper. To differentiate the EV6 GT from the vanilla EV6 GT-Line model, it's been fitted with lime-colored brakes, which became Kia's signature color for electric GT models.

The same goes for the interior. It features a new steering wheel, a revised 12.3-inch display panel, a revised dashboard, ambient lighting, and a revised Qi wireless charging pad. In addition to a new software update, it has a walk-away auto lock, powered steering wheel adjustment, a 12-inch head-up display, photocatalytic sterilization for the air conditioning, a digital rear-view mirror, and a built-in dash cam. Adding the GT button on the steering wheel and the lime accents on the seats sums it up.

The EV6 GT's high-performance electric drivetrain has been recalibrated with the use of the 84kWh battery pack. Thanks to its improved electric drivetrain, at the push of the GT button, it now produces 650PS of power and 770Nm of torque, capable of a 0-100kph sprint of 3.5 seconds. That's IONIQ 5N territory in the performance figures. As for the driving range, it's now good for a combined 355km in one full charge, depending on road conditions.

The increased power enhances the driving experience thanks to its sport-tuned dynamics, e-LSD (electronic limited-slip differential), and electronically controlled suspension. The e-diff lock actively manages the distribution of power to all wheels, improving handling performance and compensating for loss of traction when turning at high speeds. Meanwhile, the electronically controlled suspension ensures a stable ride and exceptional handling based on the selected driving mode.

As always, The New Kia EV6 GT comes with new safety features such as the revamped remote parking assist, lane keeping assist, and low-speed autonomous braking.

The harbinger of the silent movement is still cloaked in silence but promises to be the best EV6 GT ever made. Those who had the old EV6 GT, your time is up. Make the switch to the improved version. Modernization rules.

Available Colors: Snow White Pearl, Aurora Black Pearl, Runway Red, Wolf Gray, and Yacht Matte Blue.
