The EPA vary and effectivity scores for first three Kia EV6 variations has been formally launched and they’re barely higher than the corresponding Hyundai Ioniq 5 variations (see right here).

The entry-level Kia EV6 Commonplace Vary RWD – with a 58 kWh battery and single motor, rear-wheel-drive – can go up 232 miles (373 km) on a single cost, in accordance with the EPA Mixed cycle.

The Kia EV6 Lengthy Vary RWD – with a 77.4 kWh battery, however nonetheless RWD and somewhat extra energy – is predicted to attain 310 miles (499 km), which beats the anticipated 300 miles.

Lastly, the Kia EV6 Lengthy Vary AWD, which not solely has the 77.4 kWh battery, but in addition two electrical motors for all-wheel drive. It has an EPA vary of 274 miles (441 km).

Disclaimer: we do not know the wheel dimension of the three automobiles listed, by EPA, so we assume that every one are common variations with 19″ wheels (the mannequin is envisioned for 19″, 20″ and 21″, relying on model and trim).

Due to the unknown wheel dimension, we’re not positive concerning the EPA vary of the Kia EV6 Lengthy Vary AWD First Version, which will likely be launched first and was shortly absolutely reserved. The First Version has 20″ wheels, so it is anticipated to get a decrease vary than the common EV6 LR AWD with 19″ wheels (if such model could be out there).

We’ve got listed the First Version as a separate place within the desk on the underside of this publish.

Sadly, we should complain concerning the EPA, as its paperwork not present the Metropolis and Freeway vary scores for brand spanking new automobiles (2022 mannequin 12 months).

By way of effectivity, the Kia EV6 outcomes are higher than Hyundai Ioniq 5, which after all just isn’t a shock because the EV6 is just extra aerodynamic.

The SR RWD and LR RWD variations ought to obtain outcomes of 288 Wh/mi (179 Wh/km), together with charging losses and that is an excellent consequence (nearly equal to the a lot smaller Chevrolet Bolt EV and Hyundai Kona Electrical). The LR AWD model consumes 11.5% extra vitality within the EPA Mixed cycle.

And right here is the comparability of all three automobiles listed by EPA, plus the First Version, which as a result of the 20″ wheels would possibly get a barely decrease vary:
