The Kia EV6 GT gets a brutally honest review by SavageGeese. This car is a prime example of the early days of electrification, where manufacturers are still figuring things out and trying to turn electric vehicles into performance machines. And let me tell you, they haven't quite cracked the code yet.

Sure, the EV6 GT has some subtle changes in the interior, like a fancy GT steering wheel and N bucket seats. But when it comes to the driving experience, it falls flat on its face. The car lacks any kind of feedback or involvement. It's like driving a video game, where you're detached from the road and have no clue what the tires are doing. You could be spinning them into oblivion and not even realize it until you see smoke in the rearview mirror.

And let's not forget about the range. It's laughable, really. With just a little over 200 miles, you'll be constantly worrying about finding a charging station. Sure, the EV6 GT charges relatively quickly, but that doesn't make up for the lack of range. And don't even get me started on the inconsistent power levels and the confusing state of charge calculations. It's like the car has a mind of its own.

Now, I know some people might be impressed by the EV6 GT's straight-line speed. But let me ask you this: how often are you going to be drag racing your electric SUV? Exactly. The novelty wears off quickly, and you're left with a car that lacks the driving dynamics and engagement that make a car truly enjoyable.

In the end, if you're looking for a first-generation electric car that will be outdated in a few years, then go ahead and buy the EV6 GT. But if you want a car that truly delivers on the driving experience and won't leave you feeling disconnected from the road, then I suggest looking elsewhere. The EV6 GT is simply not up to par with the competition.
