Who would have thought that just a few years ago. We tallies still remember those years, almost two decades ago, in which Kia landed as a brand in Spain, with tremendously modest and cheap products. At that time, Rafa Nadal had not yet won his first Roland Garros. Without a doubt, that would be one of Kia’s best bets. The man from Manacor would become the image of the Korean brand at the beginning of his professional career, with a profitable relationship that has continued to this day.
Lovers of the most passionate cars, and of the purism of internal combustion and gasoline, can feel to some extent aggrieved by the irruption of the electric car and by the fact that, either by hook or by crook, that It will be the only future of the automobile.
But the electric vehicle will most likely hold big surprises for us. surprises like the arrival of the most powerful Kia in history, with nothing more and nothing less than 585 CV of power.
585 CV of power and 490 liters of trunk
One of Kia’s most exotic products is undoubtedly the Kia EV6. The electric ones have served as an excuse for many general manufacturers to address one of the great challenges that many others have attempted in the past, that of launch premium positioning products, high-end. And try not to be a resounding failure.
With aid from the MOVES Plan included, the Kia EV6 is an electric that starts at €43,319, with a good trunk of 490 liters, in a crossover-looking body, but not excessively high and long. With or without aid, it is not the most expensive of the Kia models. But if the only Kia for which you could be presented with a budget of €72,790 and also the only one that has reached 585 CV of power in its EV6 GT version.
Its figures are comparable to those of a Tesla, or even to some versions of the Porsche Taycan:
- 160 kW front electric motor: 218 hp
- 270 kW rear electric motor: 367 hp
- Total combined power of 430 kW: 585 PS (maximum torque 740 Nm)
- 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds
- 260 km/h top speed
- 774.4 kWh battery: 424 kilometers of autonomy
As we told you, the Kia EV6 part of the €43,319, including aid from the MOVES Plan. While the Kia EV6 GT is priced at €72,790 and, due to aid requirements, you cannot apply for MOVES Plan aid.
As alternatives to Kia’s we find the most obvious, but also those of other manufacturers that, like Ford, have opted to launch electric vehicles with a high-end and performance approach in the most powerful versions:
- He Tesla Model Y is priced at €40,970with aids included, but in its 534 CV Performance version it already reaches €63,990
- He Ford Mustang Mach E stands at €46,072, also with aid included, thanks to the significant discounts that Ford has incorporated these days to its most distinguished electric. With these discounts, and incorporating the aid that could not be requested before, in a matter of days the prices of the cheapest Mach E have been reduced by almost €20,000. The Ford Mustang Mach E GT, in any case, is priced at €86,262.
