2022 Kia EV6 AWD LR with GT-Line Package 2

The 2022 Kia EV6 AWD LR with GT-line Package 2 is a handful and deservedly so. Packing innovative integrated systems and a performance that puts it in the upper echelon electric SUVs, the EV6 AWD LR is a force to reckon with.

Still, it gets a little tedious to say the entire model aloud. Just this once, the 2022 EV6 AWD LR with GT-line Package 2 can stand having its name shortened to simply 'EV6'. That, in no way, can take away from its performance or state-of-the-art features.

After all, when built like the EV6, a vehicle doesn't have to care about adhering to things on a superficial level.

Incredible and Eye-Catching 

With massive 20-inch alloy wheels and a gloss black front grille, the 2022 EV6 AWD LR with GT-line Package 2 doesn't forget that it's meant to be an SUV despite being an electric crossover. 

Still, it would be wrong not to mention that an SUV has never looked slicker. Forget about any negative connotations the word may have. The 2022 EV6 AWD LR with GT-line Package 2 has a definitive focus on being sleek and elongated. 

Coming in at 184.8 inches in length and 74.5 inches in width, the 2022 EV6 AWD LR with GT-line Package 2 has a base ground clearance of just over 6 inches. Its wheelbase is a little over 114 inches. When it comes to cargo space, the EV6 is extremely generous. With the rear seat folded down, the total cubic volume comes up to 50.2 cu.-ft. 

Additionally, with a leg room of 42.5 inches in the front and 39 inches in the rear, there is no doubt that the EV6 is a spacious, comfortable, and accommodating SUV.

A Technological Marvel

When it comes to SUVs, there is always this focus on them being loud. Well, that's decidedly present in the 2022 EV6 AWD LR with GT-line Package 2. Besides, if needed, the 14-speaker Meridian Premium Audio system can go toe to toe with any other sound system on the market.

The 12.3 inches Panoramic Connectivity Display is clean and has multiple features over the other trim lines and packages. 

Additionally, the dual-zone climate control system ensures precise and comfortable driving with the added functionality of automatic defogging.
