Tesla is often seen as the leader of the electric vehicle market, yet that mentality is slowly fading. Competitors are popping up everywhere, including from Kia. The new 2023 Kia EV6 is set to overthrow the popular 2023 Tesla Model Y. But how does it plan to do that? Read on to learn more about both electric SUVs and see how they stack up against each other.
Engine & Performance
Both of these electric SUVs feature exceptional horsepower and performance. Yet, the Kia EV6 is more than ready to surpass the Model Y. Kia drivers can discover 576 available horsepower in the new EV6 GT, which surpasses the Model Y's 455 horsepower estimate. That's plenty of power for any Kia driver to reach any destination they have in mind. Another plus for the Kia EV6 is its smoother ride quality. The Tesla Model Y provides a rough ride, particularly over big bumps and potholes. Overall, if you value performance in an electric vehicle, choose the Kia EV6.
Interior
The inside of each vehicle tells a different story. Whereas the EV6 provides a well-made cabin with quality materials, the Model Y is unexpectedly lacking in an elegant design. For its price tag, many drivers expect the Model Y to be nicer and offer more intuitive amenities, yet it does not. Luckily, the EV6 provides that exceptional interior quality. The design is also straightforward and practical, allowing drivers to quickly get going without fuss. Up to five people can fit inside the Kia EV6, with sufficient head- and legroom for tall adults in the rear seat. Plus, there is great visibility of the road from the driver's seat.
Technology
One area the two models are even on is technology. The EV6 provides an intuitive system with a responsive 12.3-inch touchscreen, standard navigation, and standard voice recognition. The Model Y offers Tesla's signature tablet-style infotainment touchscreen with cool and snappy functionality. One downside to the Tesla's system is that practically every setting and car control lies within the touchscreen. The Kia EV6 offers some physical controls, though many of its car controls are digital only. Even so, the Kia EV6 is a great choice for technology lovers.
Safety
While the EV6 and Model Y are great vehicles for safety-conscious drivers, the EV6 offers more to love. Drivers can find 23 standard and available safety technologies inside the Kia EV6. In contrast, drivers can find 18 standard and available safety technologies in the Tesla Model Y. These electric vehicles are exceptional in the safety department, yet the EV6 wins out. One technology the EV6 has is Intersection Assist, which uses built-in sensors to help prevent accidents at intersections. The Kia EV6 also comes with a Head-Up Display, something the Tesla Model Y has yet to implement as an available feature.
