Kia is celebrating the EV6 profitable The North American Utility Car Of The Yr (I stand agency in my perception that the EV6 shouldn’t be a crossover) by giving it a particular version. It has a really lengthy title and it’s inexperienced. Witness the 2023 Kia EV6 North American Utility Car of the Yr Restricted Version. Sure, that’s its full title. No, we’re not kidding.
Kia confirmed the restricted version EV6 at Pebble Seashore. The idea for the restricted version is a novel EV6 that mixes components of the Wind and GT-Line trims. Outdoors it will get painted in a Deep Forest Inexperienced exterior paint, blacked out wheel arches, facet remedies and entrance and rear facias together with 20-inch wheels.
Inside options Desert Beige-colored seating with a particular North American Utility Of The Yr plaque by the rotary dial shifter. The mixture of the inexperienced exterior paint and the beige seating is one thing Kia says pays homage to “traditional efficiency automobile styling mixtures.” All the opposite standard tech and driver security help options are customary.
Energy comes from a 77.4 kWh battery mixed with a 74 kWh entrance motor and a 165 kWH rear motor. Whole mixed output is 320 horsepower. No phrase on vary however on condition that this identical powertrain, battery and horsepower output is on the EV6 GT-Line with all wheel drive, it’s secure to say that this restricted version EV6 will get the identical 252 miles of vary because the EV6 GT-Line.
Kia isn’t speaking about pricing but, however I see this beginning near, if not cresting, $60,000. You’re going to wish to act quick if you wish to get your fingers on one although. Kia is simply making 1,000 of the North American Utility Car of the Yr Restricted Version after they go on sale later this yr.
