Sixty-one jurors, representing 23 European countries, voted in its favour.
From making the shortlist, the EV6 successfully fought off competition from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Škoda Enyaq iV, Cupra Born, Renault Mégane E-Tech and Peugeot 308 to be crowned.
Jason Jeong, president of Kia Europe, commented, “It’s a great honour to have won the 2022 European Car of the Year with the EV6, the first-ever Kia to win this prestigious award. The EV6 is truly a landmark development that’s been designed from the outset to make electric mobility fun, convenient and accessible by combining a highly impressive real-world driving range, ultra-fast charging capabilities, a spacious high-tech interior and a truly rewarding driving experience. The EV6 is an exciting sign of what’s still to come in our evolving electrified line-up.”
The EV6 boasts an impressive 528-kilometre driving range and 800V ultra-fast charging capabilities that enables customers to carry out a 10% to 80% charge in just 18 minutes.
The EV6 has claimed no less than five other international awards since its launch in 2021.
