With plenty of options on the market, choosing an electric vehicle with features that match your lifestyle can become a stressful task. Thankfully Kia has continued to innovate and build upon the success of the Kia Niro EV with an all-new electric crossover this year. The 2022 Kia EV6 is the newest addition to the Kia hybrid and EV lineup, shaking up the market with its driver-centric cockpit and sharp exterior styling.
What Makes The Kia EV6 Special
The 2022 Kia EV6 is one of the most innovative electric vehicles near Richmond due to a few features not found in popular models from other brands. The Kia EV6 has stunning dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays that provide the driver access to pertinent information and an available head-up display with augmented reality to help them further focus on the road ahead. Other features that EV shoppers near Midlothian may find appealing include the full-LED exterior lighting, sharp body lines, and available e-AWD (electronic all-wheel drive) system.
Why Drive An Electric Vehicle
There are three primary reasons manufacturers such as Kia are beginning to push for electric powertrains.
- Better Reliability: With conventional powertrains, owners will often need to replace engine seals, belts, and hoses increases as the vehicle ages and components begin to weaken. Since electric vehicles rely on a battery pack and motor, there are fewer moving parts to maintain.
- Cost Savings: Without the need to change engine oil or transmission fluid, electric vehicle owners regularly save money on maintenance as they only need to worry about tires, brakes, and suspension components. In addition, rising gasoline and diesel prices have put EVs in the spotlight for low ownership and fuel costs.
- Changing Regulations: Many countries overseas have strict emissions regulations and are beginning to ban combustion engines in favor of hydrogen fuel cell and all-electric vehicles. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has also released new standards that will require a fleet average of 40 MPG by 2026.
