It also benefits from a number of styling upgrades over entry-level EV6 models, including more aggressive front and rear bumpers (albeit shared with the GT-Line), unique alloy wheels, and lime green accents adorning the brake calipers and interior trim.
Also exclusive to the GT is an electronic rear limited-slip differential, and uniquely-tuned sports suspension allowing it to sit 5mm lower than standard or GT-Line variants.
Outputs for lesser EV6 models comprise 125kW/350Nm for the rear-drive 58kWh configuration, 168kW/350Nm for the rear-drive 77.4kWh variant, 173kW/605Nm for the all-wheel-drive 58kWh option, and 239kW/605Nm for the all-paw 77.4kWh grade – the lattermost capable of a 5.2-second sprint from 0-100km/h.
All variants of the EV6 feature an 800-volt high-speed charging system which, according to Kia, allows the battery to recover 70 per cent of its capacity (from 10 per cent to 80 per cent) in just 18 minutes.

The rear-wheel drive, 'standard' EV6 fitted with the 77.4kWh battery pack represents the longest-range option in the line-up, offering up to 510km on Europe's stricter WLTP combined cycle. This model can reportedly add 100km worth of charge in four and a half minutes.
Battery power in all variants of the EV6 is topped up via two primary forms of energy recuperation: a heat pump and a regenerative braking system.
The heat pump scavenges thermal waste from the vehicle's coolant system and repurposes it to manage and maintain battery temperatures, while the regenerative braking system captures wasted kinetic energy under deceleration to recharge the battery.
