4 Reasons to Consider the 2023 KIA EV6

It's no accident that the 2023 KIA EV6 has been making serious waves in the automotive industry, specifically in the compact electric SUV segment. Named "Car of the Year" by COTY, "Best of the Year" by MotorWeek, "Best Electric Car" by Autocar,  "Best Electric SUV" by US News, and the  Red Dot Design Award, praises regarding the 2023 KIA EV6 are endless. But what makes the 2023 KIA EV6 such a highly praised vehicle? In this post, we here at Safford Brown Kia Mansassas  will go over a couple great reasons the 2023 KIA EV6 is not only the best electric car of the year, but most likely the best car for you. 

Reason 1: The KIA EV6 Is Fast. Really Fast.

Although KIA has made great strides in recent years, Kia's unfair reputation of producing slow-economy cars still persists in some circles. However, this is ancient news. The quickest EV6, the Kia EV6 GT AWD, boasts a 77.4-kWh battery paired to dual electric motors. Thanks to the beefy dual motors and battery pack, the 2023 KIA EV6 GT AWD goes from 0-60 in-. Wait for it... 3.2 seconds. That's right, the KIA EV6 GT AWD is officially faster than a Lamborghini Huracán Evo Spyder! If the EV6 GT AWD's starting MSRP is a little too high, you can still have plenty of fun in other KIA EV6 trims. For example, the EV6 Wind RWD and GT-line RWD provide 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the Wind AWD and GT-Line AWD have a robust 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. Range can take a hit with increased performance, which brings me to my next point.

Reason 2: Class Leading Battery Range

The 2023 KIA EV6 is powerful, but it also can be frugal. The top-of-the-line EV6 GT AWD provides 206 miles of range, the Wind AWD 282 miles, and the GT-Line AWD 252 miles. the 225 horsepower Wind RWD and GT-Line RWD provide the most range, at an impressive 310 miles. Beating the likes of the BMW iX xDrive50, Toyota bZ4X, Volkswagen ID.4, and many other competitors. Charging the KIA EV6 is a quick affair, taking only 18 minutes to get from 0 to 80 percent battery (217 miles of range). Range anxiety is no longer a issue, when you can quickly charge the KIA EV6 in the numerous electric charging stations located in Manassas, Virginia.

Reason 3: It's Good Looking, Inside and Out

Whoever says the 2023 KIA EV6 is bad looking is either messing with you, or just a compulsive liar. Created with the most optimal aerodynamics in mind, the KIA EV6's blend of curving lines and sharp angles create a bold yet elegant atmosphere, much like a smooth and aesthetically pleasing pebble found on the river bank. The wheels of the EV6 are evoke wind turbines or blades, adding to the aerodynamic theme. The interior is a sight to behold as well, masterfully crafted with recycled materials to create a sporty, and surprisingly luxurious feel. A sleek. dual 12.3-inch screen sits above the dashboard with smartly placed buttons and controls.

Reason 4: It's a KIA

There used to be a time when car enthusiasts would look at your newly purchased KIA and say, "It's just a KIA" as if they have declared some sort of universal truth. However, today, we're saying that you should buy the EV6 because it is a KIA. Over the years, KIA has transformed themselves by producing high-quality and affordable cars,  creating industry-shaking vehicles such as the KIA Stinger, the best-selling Telluride, the K5, and now the EV6. KIA also offers the best warranty available in the current automotive market, a 5-year/60,000-mile basic and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
