Kia's V6-powered grand tourer gives way to the performance-focused EV crossover as the new flagship of the range
might be quite different from the Stinger, but the electric crossover actually outperforms the grand tourer prompting Kia to serve it as an indirect replacement. The Stinger’s twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 T-GDi offered 365 hp and 510 Nm of torque, while the dual electric motors of the EV6 GT produce a combined 577 hp and 546 lb-ft of torque.
The EV is also quicker, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in an impressive 3.5 seconds compared to the 4.7 seconds of the Stinger GT. The only area in which the ICE-powered model prevails is the top speed of 270 km/h against the 260 km/h of the EV. While the difference in performance is notable, there is also an important price gap between the two models. More specifically, in the UK the EV6 GT is priced at £61,595 , while the outgoing Stinger sold for a more sensible £45,210 . In any case, the Kia EV6 GT will be available in the UK starting this quarter, with the first deliveries scheduled before the end of the year.
