The all-new Kia EV6<\/a>, in all-wheeldrive GT-Line version with a 77.4 kWh battery, was recently range tested by Bj\u00f8rn Nyland in winter conditions at around 1\u00b0C, but without wind.<\/p>\n

It’s obviously not going to set range records or even match the WLTP rating of 506 km (314 miles)<\/a> at such temperatures, but let’s take a look what can be expected in cold weather, which is actually very important from the customer perspective.<\/p>\n

According to the scale during the test, the car weighs 2,220 kg, which is basically on par with the Ford Mustang Mach-E ER RWD and the Volkswagen ID.4 1st. Only slightly more than the 2,200 in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (72.6 kWh, AWD).<\/p>\n

At 90 km\/h (56 mph)<\/strong>, the car was able to achieve 402 km (250 miles)<\/strong> until the turtle mode. It appears to be thirsty at 180 Wh\/km (290 Wh\/mile)<\/strong> using about 72.4 kWh of energy. In the Summer it should be able to go much further – probably closer to 300 miles or its WLTP rating.<\/p>\n

Bj\u00f8rn Nyland’s range test runs until 0%, 0 km, —, or equivalent appear on the display as he does not expect that regular drivers would go beyond “zero”. The cars still have some reserve at that point.<\/em><\/p>\n

At 120 km\/h (75 mph)<\/strong>, the energy consumption increased to 274 Wh\/km (441 Wh\/mile)<\/strong>, which is not that bad – clearly an aerodynamic shape helps at higher speeds. The range is estimated at 274 km (170 miles)<\/strong>. That is only slightly less than in the case of Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD in the Summer.<\/p>\n

Results at 90 km\/h (56 mph)<\/strong><\/p>\n
