The Kia EV6 GT (our test here) is a very high performance electric car that will certainly satisfy anyone who drives it. The on-board experience is, in fact, of the highest level and this is a surprise for anyone who still considers Kia a generalist brand without too many pretensions. However, this car also proves that it is not free from defects and shows the possibility of some uncertainty. So here – after the 5 reasons to buy Kia EV6 GT – the 5 reasons not to buy a Kia EV6 GT.
Comfort sacrificed for sportiness
Day Kia EV6 GT focus everything on performancebut this translates into compromises on comfort. The rigid set-up makes traveling on rough or irregular roads unpleasant, amplifying every pothole or roughness in the asphalt. The 21-inch wheels, while contributing to the aggressive aesthetic, make the situation even worse. Furthermore, the sports bucket seats, although attractive, are rigid and not very suitable for long journeys, with a backrest that is not exactly accommodating.
Limited autonomy compared to the competition
Despite the 77.4 kWh battery, real autonomy does not meet expectations. With normal driving, it is difficult to exceed 300 km on a full charge, while with a more sporty driving style the range can drop to around 250 km. For a car of this size and power, this limit could be a problemespecially for those who need to travel long distances without frequent interruptions for charging.
High price for a generalist brand
At a cost starting price of 74,950 eurosthe Kia EV6 GT enters an exclusive market segment, where luxury brands with an established reputation compete. Although the quality and performance partially justify the pricemany may find it difficult to justify spending that much on a Kia vehicle, especially if you’re not looking for a car you’ll use on a daily basis.
Not suitable for everyday life
The generous dimensions (almost 5 meters long) and Limited handling in urban settings makes the Kia EV6 GT impractical for everyday use. Furthermore, the reduced range and sacrificed comfort limit its versatility, relegating it to a second car to be used for the pure pleasure of driving or for special occasions.
High energy consumption
The power of 585 HP comes at a cost in terms of efficiency. The Kia EV6 GT consumes a lot of energy to maintain its high performance, making it less competitive than other electric cars on the market. This aspect can be penalizing for those looking for an electric vehicle capable of balancing power and efficiency in a more harmonious way
