The 2022 Kia EV6 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Kia EV6 2022 prices range from $54,120 for the basic trim level SUV AIR RWD to $75,460 for the top of the range SUV GT AWD.
The Kia EV6 GT-Line can accelerate from zero to 100km/h in just 5.2 seconds.
Out back, families are likely to appreciate the height-adjustable electric tailgate lifter, remote rear seatback releases, low, wide and flat load area, sturdy retractable luggage cover, 12V outlet and underfloor storage for the various cables and tyre mobility kit. Yep, as with most electrified vehicles, there is no spare wheel/tyre provided.
Still, with a practical cargo capacity ranging from 480 litres to 1260L (10L less than in the Air), the GT-Line AWD is properly people focused in its packaging smarts.

You could certainly have the vehicle’s battery packs tested for efficiency by an independent test centre. But why not keep that option up your sleeve and let the dealership test it initially? I would imagine the battery’s performance and efficiency test would involve a written report which is much more difficult to fudge than a verbal report. If the dealership can’t provide this written proof on the battery’s condition and you still believe you have a problem, that’s when you play the independent-test card.
So, what else do you get in the EV6?
All three grades feature a 77.4kWh ‘Long Range’ battery, along with a rear-mounted electric motor delivering 168kW of power and 350Nm of torque.
The base $67,990 EV6 Air’s specification list includes vegan artificial leather upholstery, powered lumbar support for the driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, LED lighting, two integrated 12.3-inch displays, satellite navigation, digital radio, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, USBs galore, wireless phone charging, powered folding mirrors, regenerative braking paddles that promote one-pedal driving, a powered charging flap (housing Type 2 and CCS charging ports), 19-inch alloys and a tyre mobility kit.
For a $7000 premium, the $74,990 GT-Line adds items such as a body kit, powered front seats, relaxation front seats (that promote napping when stationary), suede-style trim, a head-up display, 14-speaker Meridian audio system, a powered tailgate, remote-control parking, heated steering wheel, heated/ventilated front seats, a blind-spot view monitor, powered child locks, a surround-view camera, an external V2L power point, a stainless-steel luggage sill, augmented motor sound options, automatic folding flush door handles, laminated front door glass, privacy glass, ambient mood lighting and 20-inch alloy wheels.
Going the GT-Line AWD as tested from $82,990 adds a front-mounted electric motor, boosting total power and torque outputs to 239kW and 605Nm respectively, as well as a large sunroof.
