It is impressive that the brand new Kia EV6 has surpassed the Volkswagen ID.4, Audi Q4 e-tron, Mercedes C-Class! We also believe that it truly deserves such a prestigious award. Apart from the stylish ultra-modern exterior, the EV6 electric SUV boasts a driving range of up to 528 kilometers and ultra-fast 800 V charging, which allows restoring from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes.

‘The EV6 is not only the first Kia based on our new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), it’s also the first car that incorporates our new and bold Opposites United design philosophy as well as the all-new company logo. The EV6's emotional design, dynamic performance, impressive driving range and ultra-fast charging capabilities truly mark it out as something special. We are proud to receive the German Car of the Year’s Premium award that acknowledges the brilliant work of our dynamic Kia team’
