The 2022 Kia EV6 will be powered by short as well as long-range battery packs. For starters, theKia EV6 will offer a 58.0-kWh battery pack which will be paired to a single electric motor, mounted on the rear axle. This combination will produce a mere 167 horsepower. The larger 77.4-kWh battery pack has been reserved for the all-wheel-drive version of the EV6. It will be able to produce 313 horsepower and shoot the EV from zero to 60 mph in about 5.1 seconds. For the performance craving users, the 576-hp GT Trim will be available that can do the same in just 3.5 seconds.

The EV6 is estimated to run for about 300 miles on a single charge with the long-range battery pack. Thanks to the 800-volt architecture, the battery pack can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes, according to the carmaker. Of course, this will require you to charge from a 350-kW fast charger. The default charger provided by Kia will be an 11-kW charger that can charge the battery pack from 10 to 100 percent in 7 hours. However, this is only possible if you plug it into a Level 2 outlet.

The 2022 Kia EV6 will go up against rivals that have existed in the market for a while now. However, Kia has offered more performance-focused powertrain options with the package. Thus, while its price tag will be on the higher side, it will offer the best range as well as power figures. It will be followed by the Ford Mustang Mach-e that is currently doing quite well in the EV market.

 With its larger battery pack, the Kia EV6 is also expected to offer better mileage. It is expected to offer 12 MPGe in the city, 102 MPGe on the highway, and 112 combined MPGe. While these figures are certainly better than its rivals, these are no official figures. As the EV6 is yet to arrive at the dealerships, its real-world mileage should be looked at with a bit of skepticism. Nonetheless, it is sure to offer excellent MPG figures.

As can be seen, the Hyundai Kona continues to provide the best MPGe figures in its class. It is more focused on extending the range rather than offering the best performance for the price. However, there is no denying the fact that the Kia EV6 will still have an edge in terms of range due to its larger battery pack.

While the2022 Kia EV6 is a futuristic-looking car on the outside, on the inside, it is more conventional. Still, the interior design remains impressive with its high-tech digitized dashboard. Being very high-tech the cabin remains very practical with a floating center console along with ample storage spaces to store your small belongings. The twin-spoke steering wheels offer a two-tone treatment that adds to the sophisticated touch. Talking of the seating, the front seats, as well as the second-row seats, offer excellent support. 

Being as long as the Kia Telluride with only two-row seating, the EV6 is quite generous in terms of space. Kia is known to offer good quality attractive interior at an affordable price and the same can be said for the Kia EV6. The EV6 gets a 12.0-inch touchscreen display with a 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster. It not only offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto as standard, but can also receive over the air (OTA) updates. In addition to that, it also gets wireless smartphone charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Kia has not provided any official stats when it comes to interior. However, its long wheelbase and flat floorboard translate into acres of room to stretch out. In terms of cargo space as well, the Kia EV6 comes out at the top with the Ford Mustang Mach-e providing slightly more space to store your luggage. The Hyundai Kona offers the least space on the inside and also feels the most outdated. 

The design of the Kia EV6 is hard to find faults with. It looks quite contemporary and can easily grab eyeballs in the sea of regular-looking EVs like the Hyundai Kona. The design is undeniably evolutionary with sharp cuts and creases dominating the overall exterior. At the front, it gets a triangular headlight that stretches out to the fenders with a low-dip nose. At the rear, the single slab tail light positioned above the lift-gate gives it quite a bold stance. Its overall design is a sweet amalgamation of a crossover, SUV, and hatchback. 

In terms of the dimensions, Kia has not revealed it all, officially. However, it is as long as the Telluride with its corporate sibling, the Hyundai Ioniq, offering an even longer wheelbase. In terms of road presence, no electric crossover in its segment can still beat the Ford Mustang Mach-e. Key Exterior features shall include:

• Aerodynamic angular design
• Variable Intermittent Windshield Wipers
• Heated Rear Glass w/ Timer
• Auto Light Control
• Projector Beam Headlights
• LED Daytime Running Lights
• Roof Rails

2022 Kia EV6 vs 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E

Amongst the Kia and Ford, the newly introduced EV6 is the more sought-after option, and leads over the Mustang Mach-E in almost all the practical aspects. It gets an all-electric range of 300 miles, which is the highest in the segment, yet, it delivers the most potent performance and quickly accelerates to the 60mph mark in just about 5.3 seconds. Even in terms of build, the Kia EV6 looks fierce and sports an ergonomic and well-defined cabin with latest tech. The only thing it misses out on, is the stature that is attached to the Mustang name tag, but when the package is as solid as the Kia, you cannot stand to refuse.

It is arguably the most modern-looking Kia the world has ever seen. With its 800-volt architecture and a 515hp GT trim, the EV6 is certainly going to be quite a desirable pick in its class. However, while the exterior is quite evolutionary, the interior is not very impressive. Still, with a $7,500 EV tax credit, the EV6 is certainly going to be an eclectic model worth waiting for.
