Not shy on space, comfort and all-round practicality, the Kia EV6 GT Line 77.4kWh will put smiles on faces whether you're a passenger or behind the wheel, with features like its high performance 'sport' mode, stylish design and state-of-the-art interior tech.

With expert insight from Cheltenham-based Cleevely EV, SoGlos rounds up all the key features and explores what sets it apart, in the second instalment of our Gloucestershire EV of the month series.

Key stats

The Kia EV6 GT Line 77.4kWh offers excellent efficiency, carrying a big battery which boasts a range of between 230 and 260 miles on a single charge, making it a reliable choice for making long journeys such as commuting for work or family holidays.

Interior features

Coming with a great range of state-of-the-art interior features, the Kia EV6 GT Line 77.4kWh is built for comfort and practicality. It has heated front seats and a heated steering wheel; wireless phone charging; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility with a six-speaker sound system; a 12-inch curved driver touchscreen display; ambient lighting; and an auto-dimming rear view mirror.

One of the best features of the car is its vehicle to load (V2L) capability, which allows you to power any device from it — such as a TV or kettle — or even charge another EV.

Exterior features

Key exterior features include LED headlights, parking sensors, blind spot detection and a colour reverse camera, while there's also room under the bonnet to store your charging cables, too.

Its exterior also helps the EV6 stand out from the crowd, boasting a distinctive, sleek design with 19-inch black alloy wheels.

SoGlos loves

What sets the Kia EV6 GT Line 77.4kWh apart from others with similar practical benefits is its driving experience. A high-performance car, drivers can engage its 'sport' mode — accessible via a selector on the steering wheel — to increase the sensitivity of the accelerator and change the steering weight. 

It also has a one-pedal driving system, which makes it possible to bring the car to a complete stop without using the brake pedal, through regenerative braking.
