![]() The twin-motor GT-Line AWD’s 239kW/605Nm is dwarfed by the EV6 GT AWD’s brawny 430kW/740Nm.Īll that muscle comes via powerful twin electric motors, a front-axle-mounted unit producing 160kW and a rear-mounted motor pushing out 270kW. The additional $12,000 spend over the EV6 GT-Line AWD for the new hero model buys extra features and technology, as well as a total power output from its twin electric motors that’s a whopping 80% higher than the next most powerful EV6 variant. However, the two rear-wheel drive models do sneak under the Federal Government’s luxury car tax threshold (LCT) of $84,916, meaning they could be eligible for having fringe benefits tax (FBT) and import taxes waived. ![]() The wicked-up performance variant joins an existing line-up of three EV6 models, starting with the Air RWD ($72,590), followed by a pair of better-equipped GT-Line models in RWD ($79,590) and AWD ($87,590).Īll prices are recommended retail, and none are below the Queensland Government’s $68,000 (including GST) cut-off point for its $6,000 EV rebate. Less flatteringly perhaps, it’s also the most expensive Kia to date, with a list price of $99,590 that will push it past the $100,000 psychological barrier by the time on-road costs are added. The EV9 will be Kia’s first seven-seater and, in GT-Line trim, its first model to offer Level 3 autonomous driving.īefore then Kia’s local electric halo model is the recently released EV6 GT AWD, a keenly anticipated performance version of the well-received EV6 which lays claim to being the company’s most powerful production car ever. The Korean brand’s expanded battery-electric range will include the recently revealed EV9, a large SUV flagship due here later this year that’s built on the company’s dedicated E-GMP electric vehicle platform. Like many modern car makers, Kia is on a mission to electrify its line-up, announcing recently its goal of having 15 EV models available by 2027 and targeting sales of 1.6 million EVs annually by 2030. ![]()
