Three months and 4,000 kilometres with the Kia EV6 have fundamentally reshaped our expectations of what an electric crossover can deliver. Built on Hyundai Motor Group's dedicated E-GMP 800V platform, the EV6 combines striking design with genuine everyday usability.
The standout feature is charging speed. The 800V architecture enables 10-80% charging in just 18 minutes at a 350kW charger — faster than any competitor at this price point. In real-world Singapore driving, the 77.4kWh battery consistently delivers over 450km of range, more than sufficient for a week's commuting.
Behind the wheel, the EV6 is genuinely enjoyable. The rear-wheel-drive single-motor variant (229bhp, 350Nm) offers brisk performance, while the dual-motor GT-Line (325bhp, 605Nm) is genuinely rapid. Ride quality on Singapore roads is excellent, and the spacious interior — with its flat floor and generous legroom — easily accommodates five adults.
