Kia's fast EV6 GT is receiving a makeover. The new EV6 GT has been photographed for the first time, with an aggressive design upgrade and innovative Active Air Skirt technology.
In 2022, Kia launched the EV6 GT, their most powerful car. With 576 horsepower, the high-performance EV can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds.
The brand lost no time demonstrating the potential of their high-performance electric vehicle. Kia pitted the EV6 GT against the Ferrari Roma and Lamborghini Huracan EVO, and the fast EV outperformed both.
The EV6 GT's dual-motor powertrain produces 576 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque, thanks to a 77.4 kWh battery pack.
Kia's sporty electric car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph faster than the 590 horsepower Porsche Taycan GTS (0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds) and costs half as much.
The 2024 Kia EV6 GT, which starts at $61,600, is faster (and cheaper) than most sports cars. Now it looks Kia is updating its EV6 GT.
Kia EV6 GT spotted with design update and new EV tech
We've spotted the new EV6 covered in camo being tested in the wild multiple times. However, this is the first time we have seen the revised GT model.
South Korean Healer TV produced a video featuring the Kia EV6 GT with a fresh design update and EV technology.
According to the video, the new model features an aggressive bumper design and a “mechanical” grille that’s now closed at the bottom.
It’s also expected to include Hyundai and Kia’s new Active Air Skirt (AAS). The new EV tech was unveiled this week to improve high-speed performance and driving range.
The AAS unit is installed between the bumper and front wheels. At low speeds, the AAS is hidden, but when traveling over 50 mph (80 km/h), the unit is deployed.
This is because at high speeds, air resistance exceeds rolling resistance. The new EV technology also boosts downforce, improving stability and handling.
Kia has also dramatically altered the wheel design, giving it a more dynamic appearance. The wheel bolts are now covered by a wheel cap.
Although the back is mainly concealed, it is believed to have a sharper bumper and potentially new lighting.
Kia has yet to disclose the new model, but it is slated to debut before the end of 2024.
