When it comes to choosing the right EV for you, the estimated fully electric driving range is one of the most important factors to consider. The longer the electric range, the longer you can drive before you need to plug in your EV at home or a public charging station. The EV9 Light RWD has an estimated range of 230 miles, while the EV6 Light can travel 240 miles on a fully charged battery. 

Charging is also an important factor to consider. The EV6 Light trim can recharge with a Level 2 charger in about five and a half hours or with a 50 kW DC Fast charger in an hour. For the EV9 Light RWD, a Level 2 charger can restore the battery in under seven hours. A 50 kW DC Fast charger also only needs an hour to bring the EV battery back to 80% for the base EV9 model. 

Driver Assistance

The EV6 Light is equipped with a Forward Collision-Avoidance system with software programmed to detect potential frontal collisions with pedestrians, bicyclists, cars, and even oncoming traffic during junction turning. A standard Smart Cruise Control system, which also functions in stop-and-go traffic, maintains a pre-set distance between your vehicle and the car ahead for optimized urban travel. 

The EV9 Light RWD enhances the Forward Collision-Avoidance system with additional detection for direct oncoming traffic, oncoming traffic during a lane change maneuver, and potential collisions with other vehicles when you change traffic lanes. This system also has Evasive Steering Assist that emits a warning when a potential collision is detected and automatically engages evasive steering maneuvers to avoid an accident within your traffic lane. 

Convenience

Each Kia EV vehicle is equipped with a Smart Key system for quick vehicle entry, locking, and unlocking. For the EV9, the Smart Key system has a built-in immobilizer that prevents start-up without the presence of the Smart Key. For the EV6, the Smart Key adds a burglar alarm, a panic button, and an escort headlamp so you can see the area around your vehicle. 

Each of the entry-level trims for the EV9 and the EV6 has an impressive electric range, as well as smart driver-assistance features to enhance your on-road safety. If you still aren’t sure which EV to choose, you can make your final decision after a test drive at Kia of Coatesville in Coatesville, PA.
