Kia EV6 Long Range AWD GT-Line S FAQs

How much range does AWD cost on the EV6?

The Long Range AWD returns 285 miles WLTP versus 328 miles for the RWD. The second motor adds weight and consumes additional battery capacity at speed. Real-world motorway range is typically 200–230 miles for the AWD.

Does the EV6 AWD charge faster than the RWD?

No. Both Long Range variants share the same 800V architecture and 233kW DC peak. The 10–80% charge time of approximately 18 minutes is identical for both. AWD does not affect charging performance.

Is the EV6 Long Range AWD a good company car?

At £54,795 list price and 4% BIK rate in 2026/27, monthly tax is low for a car at this performance level. Higher-rate taxpayers benefit most; a petrol SUV of comparable ability would attract BIK rates above 30%.

Can the EV6 AWD tow a caravan?

Yes, to a rated maximum of 1,600kg braked. This covers a small to mid-size caravan. Towing at or near maximum weight will reduce range substantially, and an appropriate charger stop plan is needed for longer runs.
