Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the Kia EV6 GT:
- The Kia EV6 GT boasts 577 brake horsepower from two electric motors, one on each axle, enabling it to achieve 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds.
- At £62,000, it is roughly £15,000 more than the standard GT-Line model.
- Key features include neon yellow brake calipers, 21-inch wheels, and stickier Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
- A neon yellow color scheme extends to the interior, which includes a GT button and unique seat piping.
- The GT lacks electric seats, unlike lower-priced models; it has manual seats instead.
- Seats are more supportive than in other EV6 versions, although they are not full bucket seats.
- Seats are not the same as GT-Line versions. The full lay flat seats in GT-Line are better.
- There are preset driving modes, but you can also customize settings such as suspension stiffness and accelerator response.
- Overly stiff suspension can cause the car to get thrown around on bumpy roads.
- The Kia EV6 GT has adaptive suspension compared to passive suspension in most versions of the car.
- 0-40mph was the same time of 2.2 seconds in the EV6 GT and the RS3.
- The 0-60 mph time for the EV6 GT was 3.5 seconds compared to the Audi RS3 at 4.0 seconds.
- The 1/4 mile time was 11.9 seconds for the EV6 GT compared to the RS3 at 12.8 seconds.
- Top speed for the 1/4 mile: 118.9 mph for the EV6 GT compared to 109.6 mph for the RS3.
- It's much faster than comparable petrol cars in a straight line.
- While straight-line speed is impressive, it feels overpowered, and other electric cars are better through corners.
