The EV6 is the first Kia model available only as an electric vehicle. Until it came along early in 2022, supported by a Super Bowl ad, Kia’s electric options — the Niro and Soul — were also sold as hybrid and gas-powered cars. Built on the same battery platform as its corporate cousin the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6 is part of a wave of electric five-seater SUVs that also includes Ford’s Mustang Mach-E and Tesla’s Model Y.
