Kia EV6 GT is the fastest production Kia ever made. With 585 hk, all-wheel drive and 0–100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, it challenges significantly more expensive sports cars – with zero emissions.
Top Performance
The EV6 GT is powered by dual permanent magnet motors that together deliver 430 kW (585 hk) and a massive torque of 740 Nm. All power is transferred to all four wheels via Kia's e-AWD system with electronic differential brake (e-LSD) on both axles.
The result? 0–100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 260 km/h. That makes the EV6 GT faster than a Porsche 911 Carrera S and on par with a BMW M3 Competition – but at a significantly lower price and without a drop of petrol.
The GT version has a dedicated drift mode that sends more power to the rear wheels for controlled oversteer. The chassis is retuned with stiffer suspension, sport dampers and a more direct steering rack. The brakes are upgraded with larger discs and green brake calipers that signal GT identity.

Honest analysis
The EV6 GT competes in an interesting segment. The Tesla Model 3 Performance offers similar acceleration (3.3 s) at a lower price (~579 900 kr), but lacks the GT's drift mode, sport chassis and premium interior. The BMW iX xDrive50 costs significantly more (~899 900 kr) with worse performance.
Pros: Brutal performance, 800V charging, drift mode, 7-year warranty, complete standard equipment, unique driving pleasure among EVs in this price range.
Cons: 424 km range (lower than RWD), high consumption during sporty driving, 250 000 kr more than the AWD version, limited ground clearance.
Our verdict: If you want an EV that is truly fun to drive – not just fast in a straight line – the EV6 GT is one of the best choices under one million kronor. The drift mode and the retuned chassis make it unique in its class. But if range and price are more important, the Kia EV6 AWD is the smarter choice.
