The standard rear-wheel drive models deliver 225 bhp and 350 Nm of torque. For those seeking more power, the dual-motor versions offer 320 bhp and 605 Nm of torque. Kia has also fine-tuned the EV6’s frequency-selective dampers to enhance ride comfort, reduced motor noise, and reinforced the body structure to improve safety.
