2023 Kia EV6 GT Redesign, Performance, Specs, and Photos. The upcoming 2023 Kia EV6 GT is another brand-new all-electric model. We already wrote about the EV6 model a few weeks ago. But now, we are dealing with the high-performance GT variant. Reportedly, the EV6 GT will develop almost 600 horsepower. That is a lot of power, but Kia will also offer Standard and Long Range battery packs, with both RWD and AWD systems. The EV6 model will deploy Hyundai’s new E-GMP platform, and the GT version will be no different. We are waiting for the full reveal, which should happen in the coming weeks. The sales will begin later in 2021, and the EV6 model will join the electric Soul and Niro models. Sporty Exterior Design The all-new 2023 Kia EV6 GT will slightly depart from the rest of the trim levels. As its name (not so creative) suggests, the GT variant will look more aggressive and sportier. For a start, Kia will deliver larger tires and wheels. The front and rear sections will be more upright. The manufacturer opted for yellow accents and not red accents like other sporty vehicles. Thanks to that, EV6 GT will arrive with yellow brake calipers and numerous interior accents finished in the same color. The seats will be brand-new and more supportive. The most reliable reports are also suggesting the GT-Line model with a similar design but smaller batteries and less power. New EV6 crossover will wear a new design language, with a sleeker roofline and bolder styling. All trim levels will wear a recognizable “Digital Tiger Face” grille and Kia will offer unique exterior paints. 2023 EV6 GT Specs Kia surprised us all with this new high-performance variant. The 2023 Kia EV6 GT will represent the range-topping trim level with a standard all-wheel-drive system. This means the GT variant will offer front and rear electric motors. Total output is rated at 577 horsepower, which sounds amazing. The all-electric powertrain will develop u to 546 lb-ft of torque. This is the best possible output and Kia will offer a larger battery pack. Of all, the Standard Range battery comes with a 225-hp electric motor and a rear-wheel-drive setup. Adding another motor creates an AWD system and it adds an additional 321 horsepower. The Long Range battery will provide 316 miles of electric range on a single charge. New Kia EV6 GT will sprint […]

2023 Kia Niro Redesign, Performance, Specs, and Price
2023 Kia Niro Redesign, Performance, Specs, and Price. The upcoming 2023 Kia Niro is a very popular model and we could say a big success for the manufacturer. And while the Niro model does not look flashy and premium, it comes with an affordable price. If you are looking for a compact SUV with an electrified powertrain, Niro is a great choice. This model received the last changes in 2020. Latest reports are suggesting radical changes so 2023 Niro will be even better. According to leaked documents, Niro is codenamed SG2 and is currently in the works. Kia said the all-new model will bring funky design, more tech, and much more. Now, we saw new spy photos and a couple of renderings. The sales will begin later in 2021 and here’s everything we know about this new SUV. Niro PHEV and Niro EV Specs While this is not official yet, new 2023 Kia Niro will arrive with mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric variants. The current e-Niro variant comes with a 64-kWh battery and an electric motor that develops 200 horsepower. The all-electric model will provide almost 300 miles of driving range, which is great. We don’t know if Kia plans to provide slightly more power and improved electric range. As for the Niro PHEV version, this model will borrow a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine from the Kia Sorento. This model will use an 8-kWh battery pack and it will generate 260 horsepower. 2023 Niro Redesign Not surprisingly, the new 2023 Kia Niro will borrow a lot of stuff from the Kia HabaNiro concept. This concept made its debut in 2019 and it is a concept that will have a great impact on future brand’s vehicles. One of the future models is the Niro SUV. The concept comes with astonishing looks, butterfly doors, and numerous red exterior elements. Of course, Niro will have to depart from the concept in some categories. The concept looks very futuristic and less probable to happen in real life. However, Kia Niro will borrow the tiger-nose grille and boomerang-shaped LED taillights. With this redesign, Niro will look more exciting and less boring. Kia will provide a sportier stance with new and bolder exterior features. Interior Changes On the inside, the new 2023 Kia Niro will benefit from a longer wheelbase. Thanks to that, the interior provides more space for the passengers. The cabin will also host a […]
2023 KIA Picanto Rumors, Facelift Price, Latest News
2023 KIA Picanto Rumors, Facelift Price, Latest News. The Picanto facelift will be sold across continents with a 7-year brand and 100,000-mile warranty We first spied on the fresh KIA Picanto in January this year, when the highly camouflaged prototype was caught testing in the winter conditions. Now, about four months later, the Mini Hatch makes it the official Premier for the South Korean market. In her home market, Picanto is known as Morning until now but the facelift brings the morning Urban moniker, which is more reflective of the change. Visually, you’ll easily be able to distinguish the updated model’s thanks to the slightly reformed front fascia with new LED lights and Sportier-looking bumpers. There is also modification of the Grille, while the fog lights get a new chrome Trim. 2023 KIA Picanto Powertrain In terms of powertrains, there is only one machine available for the South Korean market– the naturally-secreted 1.0-liter gasoline unit, both for 75 horsepower (56 kilowatts) and 70 pound-feet (95 Newton-meter) of torque. It’s mated either for a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox. Most body panels are hidden under wraps, but we expect the final product to carry a regular update consisting of redesigned front and rear bumpers. From the Spy shot, we see that there is a new tail lamp graphic while the headlights seem to be revised. The new exterior colors and possibly different alloy wheels should complement the styling outside. Redesign Similar changes on the back, where we see updated backlights with new LED signatures, new horizontal reflectors, and small diffusers with integrated what we believe are fake dual Exhaust Tips. Other visual enhancements include new 16-inch wheels and additional chrome trim for the door. Step into the cab and you’ll find new decorations, coupled with the latest infotainment system with an 8-inch display and a Bluetooth multi Connection function, which allows two Bluetooth devices to connect at the same time. There are also smaller 4.4-inch screens in the instrument cluster. 2023 KIA Picanto Facelift Interior The 2023 Picanto Interior is partially enclosed, indicating that Korean cars will make some changes to the dashboard. If that’s one of those things that might be improved, then that’s the Infotainment system. We also expect cabins to bring new upholstery and decorations. Since it should remain for sale for at least two to three years, Picanto that is facelifted may receive some tweaks focusing […]
2023 KIA Telluride Pickup Truck Redesign, Release Date, and Price
2023 KIA Telluride Pickup Truck Redesign, Release Date, and Price. KIA enters the intermediate truck segment to compete with Ford and Chevy. That’s right. The KIA pickup trucks come to compete with options such as the Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado. See what we know so far. The New KIA Telluride three-line crossover has enjoyed just about the best debuts the new model could be, accumulating sales success and critical praise in the same size. The Square-jawed Telluride is also seen part of a large SUV, all hard edges and yellow shapes. And that makes us think that KIA sure will look good as a pickup truck. And don’t you know that the Telluride does look sharp as a truck? At least, when it’s a truck in this exclusive rendering. The Telluride seemed completely natural with bodywork around the cargo area and the third seat line was stripped to create the pickup bed. To complete the transformation, we give the pickup a rougher appearance overall than the Telluride SUV. 2023 KIA Telluride Pickup Truck Competitions Size-wise, a will-be a KIA Telluride pickup truck will likely fall into the same intermediate segment as Honda Ridgeline, Chevrolet Colorado, and Ford Ranger. The KIA SUV is a 196.9 large inch long, a few inches shy of those trucks’ length, but we figure KIA will add some back overhang to the Telluride pickup to provide a useful bed measuring at least five feet long. Wrap it faster if you still wrap your mind around the idea of a KIA pickup brand. Medium truck segments explode, which is why it should come as no surprise that cars that have traditionally not yet offered pickups in the US are taking a look at doing so. KIA never offered a stateside pickup, and the company executives were coy about the topic in an interview with our friend at MotorTrend earlier this year, not confirming or denying the future of the KIA pickup. The only problem we see is that the Australian executive KIA has, in fact, asserted that the company is working on a truck (at least for that market), but says it will be based on the upcoming compact Hyundai Santa Cruz. Perhaps the Hyundai/Kia calculus size has changed since then– a compact truck, while novel, may significantly narrow its attractiveness relative to midsized today and will need a lot, much cheaper to attract buyers. Either […]
2025 Kia EV6 Crossover: Release Date, Electric, Price, and Specs
2025 Kia EV6 Crossover: Release Date, Electric, Price, and Specs. The 2025 Kia EV6 is the brand’s newest electric crossover. The EV6 model will ride on Hyundai’s E-GMP architecture that also underpins Ioniq 5 model. Kia shared the first images of its new EV6 model and the first impressions are very positive. According to Kia, the EV6 is only the first of the eleven promised electric models that the brand plans to introduce by 2026. A full reveal will happen in the coming weeks and EV6 will join Soul and Niro electric vehicles. The sales will begin later in 2021, most likely this fall. Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the brand-new Kia EV6. Power, Driving Range Most likely, the new 2025 Kia EV6 will share more than a platform with the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Whatsoever, Kia will borrow the same 77.4-kWh battery pack with a voltage of 800 volts. The base variant will use a single electric motor that powers the rear wheels. Ioniq 5 comes with almost the same setup and it provides 215 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Kia will most likely deliver the same figures, probably slightly more horses, but it is far from a major improvement over the Hyundai’s powertrain. On the other hand, a dual-motor setup with a standard AWD system will be optional. Reportedly, Kia EV6 with dual-motor configuration will develop 302 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque. The EV6 model will provide around 300 miles of all-electric range on a single charge. Kia EV6 Comes With Sleek Exterior Design The upcoming 2025 Kia EV6 will wear the brand’s new design language. Kia opted for a bolder approach with a sleek roofline and sporty stance. Some exterior parts are looking aggressive, especially the front “Digital Tiger Face” fascia. The rear window slopes nicely down to a spoiler and the spoiler host a light bar. While this is not practical, visually looks very attractive. Kia also said the goal is to deliver ultimate aerodynamics performance. As we said, the EV6 electric crossover will ride on Hyundai’s E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform). The same architecture underpins the current Hyundai Ioniq 5 model. However, we’ll have to wait for the official debut in order to find out more details about this new crossover. Interior Looks Very Modern The forthcoming 2025 Kia EV6 will arrive with a traditional interior design. The cabin will […]
The Upcoming 2025 KIA Carnival Redesign, Specs, Rumors, and Photos
2025 KIA Carnival Redesign, Specs, Rumors, and Photos. Carnival 2025 replaces the aging Sedona in the Kia lineup due to the fact that the Oriental car supplier was intending to maximize the success of its very successful as well as famous Telluride SUV. The large wheels, crossover-like percentages, and also the distinctive daytime running lights that stream into the grille provide the perception of a high-end SUV to the van that advises us of the Array Wanderer. The Carnival versions are powered by a 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6 engine with front-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Numerous chauffeur help features are supplied as typical, consisting of automated emergency braking. Infotainment modern technology gets enhanced as well with optional dual-screen settings with digital meter and center touch display with navigation.

That’s what Kia wants for the Carnival LX base, and also there’s a $2,000 premium for the LX design with a “seating package,” an option that replaces the middle seat with two captain’s seats. For those curious, Carnival’s starting price was $1,700 higher than Sedona’s bog-standard last year, however the new model includes lots of stuff for money. There are 12 standard energetic driver help functions at Carnival (including blind-spot surveillance), optimal freight space of 145 cubic feet (on LX, EX-SPOUSE, and also SX designs with all rows of seats dropped), and also space for as much as eight guests (with that said seat). Next up the Carnival stairs is the Ex Lover trim, which starts at $38,775 and gets basic comforts such as tri-zone automatic environment control, a 12.3-inch infomercial display changing the 8.0-inch LX device, as well as a power-operated rear door.
