For the longest time, it seemed Tesla would forever be the dominant force in the world of electric vehicles. But now brands like Kia are producing some seriously heavy hitters. That could not be more clear than it is with the 2022 Kia EV6. This electric SUV offers a variety of features and is practical enough for daily use. So, what three features make the EV6 a legitimately good vehicle?

The 2022 EV6 has a solid range

One of the biggest determining factors in what makes a good EV is its range. The 2022 Kia EV6 has an AMCI Certified range of 339 miles. Because of that, you should be able to use this electric SUV on a daily basis. Even if you are interested in taking a road trip.

Additionally, with the correct charging setup, the Kia EV6 can charge up to 80% in under 20 minutes. Although, that is only with fast charging. It is important to note that charging infrastructures vary from place to place. So, that is something to keep in mind if you plan on purchasing an EV.

The Kia EV6 has a plethora of modern features

With a starting MSRP of $41,400 and an electric powertrain, it is not surprising that the 2022 Kia EV6 has a range of modern tech and features. There are dual panoramic screens and you can even opt for an augmented reality head-up display. And that is something that most buyers are likely to appreciate.

Tech does span beyond convenience with this electric SUV. If you are interested in the latest safety features, the Kia EV6 delivers. Things like a surround view monitor and automatic emergency braking will provide you with additional confidence. Better yet, you can equip the 2022 EV6 with HDA2, which is hands-on semi-autonomous driving.

This EV has legitimate performance

A major benefit of opting for an electric vehicle is the near-instantaneous delivery of power and torque. That could not be more true than it is with the 2023 Kia EV6 GT. This performance EV has 576 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds.

The EV6 GT utilizes dual motors and comes with all-wheel drive. It even has a system that imitates a limited-slip differential. If that wasn’t enough, the GT model of the EV6 has something called drift mode, allowing you to fully enjoy the power output of this vehicle.

Can you buy a 2022 Kia EV6?

If you are interested in buying an EV6, it is possible. But, supply is limited due to things like supply chain constraints. Because of that, it might be difficult to find one available near you. But according to InsideEVs, it appears that production of this model is being ramped up. And that should mean that more EV6s should be appearing at dealerships.

As Kia’s EV becomes more common, it should grow in popularity. After all, it has already been earning various awards. Plus, with the features and practicality that it has, it could even be ideal for first-time EV buyers.
