Kia’s first all-electric model paints a clear picture of what the future has in store for the brand we love to provide and support every day at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis. Not only is it destined to be a star on the street, it was also featured on TV during the Emmys and America’s Got Talent. These programs both highlighted some of the most dynamic and versatile talent in the nation today and allowed Kia to reach an audience that is primed for a sustainable EV future.
The EV6 was featured in a spot titled “Writer” that closely followed a screenwriter through their brainstorming process. After several bouts of intense writer’s block, the writer gets in her EV6 to push the reset button and relocate her creative inspiration. Characters dressed as elaborate figures from the past appear as vivid hallucinations as she continues to drive, and driving the eco-conscious sedan provided her with the creative juice she needed.
The brand-new EV6’s lineup boasts configurations from 176 horsepower to 576 horsepower. The base model has a single electric motor that powers the rear wheels and a 58.0-kWh battery pack. Customers can also choose a rear-wheel-drive EV6 with the larger 77.4-kWh battery pack that will offer the longest range of any of the models. The front and rear electric motors together provide a total of 313 horsepower, and it gets up to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.
The highest-powered EV6 model is the GT. This model sports the 77.4-kWh battery pack and totals 576 horsepower while reaching 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds. DC fast-charging ability will give the car up to 70 miles of range in just five minute and will also increase battery life from 10 to 80 percent charge in 18 minutes. The color combinations on the First Edition model are white with a green interior, yellow with a black interior, and matte gray with a black interior. The special edition includes All-Wheel-Drive and the larger battery standard and comes with other options such as a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, and a premium audio system.
Many drivers are excited about the EV6’s stylish looks. Not only is this bound to be an efficient and groundbreaking SUV, it has a talented team of designers and engineers crafting the design during development. Kia’s future is ripe with innovation, change, and urban-commuting practicality!
