Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here, and today we're going to talk about the Kia EV6. I heard that the mid-facelift Kia EV6 has already been unveiled overseas, and the old model is also sold in China, but the price is not cheap and quite unpopular.
But I have to say, it does have a lot of personality. Will the facelifted version enter the Chinese market in the future? It's a bit of a curiosity.
Let's talk about the appearance first. The front face of the new car has changed a lot, and the design language has changed a lot. The flat upper grille is led by a delicate chrome strip to a flat strip of daytime running lights, which also extends down to create a distinctive triangular headlight cluster. This is much more personalized than the old model, and the recognition is also rising.
The shape of the front bumper is even more exaggerated, with a multi-section curved black grille in the trapezoidal lower grille filled to the brim, which also extends to the fog lamp areas on the left and right sides. Coupled with the extra black front lip, it is very sporty and impressive!
As for the side and rear parts of the car, not much has changed. It's still the iconic crossover hatchback line, similar to the modern IONIQ5 structure, but the style is completely different.
The Kia EV6 is more low, sharp, and sporty. The D-pillar has a large tilt angle, and the sense of personality is instantly full. The large wheels have a new style and a unique cross-hatch pattern that is highly recognizable, which is also a major feature of the Kia facelift.
At the rear, the large spoiler is still there, and the continuous taillights are closed-loop. The middle of the trunk is recessed with the Kia logo. The rear bumper is an exaggerated black three-section cut-out trim that is more aggressive than the previous model, echoing the style of the front end.
As for the interior, there are some minor tweaks. The double-linked floating large-size LCD screen is definitely indispensable. The steering wheel has a new shape, and the unique splicing double-spoke structure makes it look very powerful.
The front area of the armrest box has not changed much, the knob shift and simple function buttons are still there, and the pocket gear mechanism is not used, presumably to save costs.
The seats are made of suede panels with a more stylish embossing. The metal accelerator brake pedal also has a special shape, which is to stimulate the driver's motor nerves!
Let's talk about motivation. The new car has not changed much in this regard, and the motor parameters are no different. It is also a rear-mounted single motor entry, with a maximum power of 228 horsepower. The high-end dual-motor all-wheel drive system produces a maximum power of 323 hp, and there is also a GT version with 585 hp. The fastest acceleration of 100 kilometers is 3.5 seconds, which is fierce enough!
The main difference is the addition of an 84 kWh lithium battery pack, which slightly increases the all-electric range, and can reach up to 578 km in WLTP mode. At the same time, the charging power has also been optimized, and the energy replenishment efficiency is higher.
Let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Kia EV6. The advantages, first of all, the appearance is very individual, highly recognizable, especially the facelifted front face and wheel style, which is eye-catching.
The interior of the dual screen and some details are also quite stylish. In terms of power, a variety of versions are available to meet the needs of different people. And the acceleration of 100 kilometers is fast, and it must be very exciting to drive.
The downside is that the price is not cheap, which may discourage many people. There are also few cars on the street, and after-sales and maintenance can be a bit troublesome. In addition, the absence of a pocket block mechanism may make some people feel unaccustomed.
Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the Kia EV6? If the facelifted version enters the Chinese market, will you consider buying it?
Hachi-chan: I'm looking forward to how it performs in the future! I hope it can be more affordable in terms of price, so that more people can experience its charm!
