Charging and range
Long-range rear-drive models reach roughly 310 miles of EPA range. The 800-volt system supports very quick DC charging.
Fast cars are fun. Fast chargers are useful.
Practical points
The roofline cuts into rear headroom and cargo space. Kia’s infotainment is straightforward, though the touch climate panel needs getting used to.
Before you visit the dealer

- Compare with Ioniq 5
- Test rear headroom
- Review warranty terms
Practical tip
The sportiest versions cost range. Choose based on your normal trip, not the best case.
