Features, options and trim levels of Kia EV6 compared.
The EV6 is Kia’s first ever electric vehicle to be sold in all 50 US states.
The sales have just commenced and the very first 2022 Kia EV6 models have already been delivered to consumers in the States.
The all-new Kia EV6 is one of the best EVs currently on sale thanks in large part to its state-of-the-art drivetrain and charging technology.
Not only does the 2022 Kia EV6 achieve up to 310 miles on a single charge, it also charges as fast as it gets. You can top it up from 10% to 85% in only 18 minutes on a DC fast charger.
In addition, the EV6 electric crossover is quick with 0-60 mph rating of only 3,5 seconds on its top trim level called GT.
Speaking of trims, there are 3 different trim levels available on the US-specs Kia EV6 right this moment (Light, Wind, GT Line), while one (the GT) will be introduced later this year.

The US-specs Kia EV6 2022 (model year) comes available with 3 unique trim levels. Those are the Light, Wind and GT Line. All three are available in US right this moment as the first EV6’s are already hitting the Kia dealership lots in the United States.
The list above features two more Kia EV6 trim levels, the GT and 1st Edition. What are they?
The GT is the range-topping trim level in a Kia EV6, which is scheduled to be put on sale at the end of 2022. It will offer all possible features one can imagine in a modern electric car and will, on top of that, also enable a breath-taking sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in only 3,5 seconds!
The 1st Edition model, on the other hand, has already been sold out. There were only 1.500 units available right from the inaugural introduction of the new EV6 crossover in the US-market. This particular trim offered an abundance of standard features and a choice of 3 unique exterior color choices, all at a more affordable price.
