As the move toward all-electric vehicles accelerates, few models have had the same impact that the 2023 Kia EV6 has had. Standing apart from the others in its class, the EV6 has reimagined what an electric vehicle should be like.

Trim Levels

The EV6 comes in five models spread across three classes: the Wind, GT-Line, and the GT. The Wind and the GT-Line have rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) variants, while the top-of-the-range GT only comes with AWD.

Exterior Styling

The exterior styling of the EV6 gives it a high-tech look. It has a futuristic front end with a smart body shape that leads to a rear with a thin lighting strip that runs the width of the car.

The exterior is consistent across the lineup except for the GT-Line and GT models that incorporated GT body kits. The look is completed with the 21-inch alloys on the GT and 20-inch on the GT-Line (e-AWD), while the other models support 19-inch alloys.

Motor Specifications

A permanent magnet AC synchronous motor is fitted throughout the lineup. The horsepower varies depending on the variant and model. The RWD options have 225 hp, while the AWD ones have 320 hp, except for the GT, which has 576 hp.

Traveling Range

Traveling range is all-important with electric vehicles, and the EV6 offers some of the best. The Wind (RWD) and GT-line (RWD) allow you to travel up to 310 miles on a full charge, while the Wind (e-AWD) provides 282 miles, and the GT-Line and GT (e-AWD) deliver 252 and 206 miles, respectively.

Charging Times

Where the EV6 really rises above the completion is in its record-breaking charging times. The car has a flexible charging system that allows it to be charged from both 400v and 800v DC points, with a 50kw 800v DC fast charger able to recharge the battery from 10% level to 80% in only about 18 minutes!

Home charging is also made easy with the availability of a Level 2 240v charging kit. When used, this can take the battery from 10% to full in around 7 hours and 10 minutes.

Technology Features

Right down to how you enter the car with its headlight greeting and smartphone wave unlock, the EV6 incorporates the latest technology to improve your motoring experience. Highlights include an Augmented-Reality Head-Up Display, Surround View Monitor, and Auto-Dimming Rearview mirror, among numerous others.

In terms of safety, all the models come with Kia Driver Wise Driver Assist, a comprehensive suite of safety and driver features, such as blind spot detection and highway driving assist to complement your driving and keep you protected.

Whether it is its high-tech styling, astonishing charging times, range, or packed level of technology, there is no doubt the EV6 is an exceptional electric car. Now is your chance to get behind the wheel of one. Drop into us at Geweke Kia today, book a test drive, and see how spectacular the 2023 EV6 is.

1. Angel Island State Park

Take a two-hour road trip to San Francisco, board a ferry at Gate B at the San Francisco Ferry Terminal, and spend an incredible weekend camping on Angel Island in the middle of San Francisco Bay.

On a clear day, you will see the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, and Mount Tamalpais. Explore the island by riding on an open-air tram to learn about the island’s military history dating back a hundred years, and visit the Civil War buildings and the Immigration Station, the first port of call for millions of Asian immigrants entering the country.

2. Sunol Regional Wilderness

The breathtaking Sunol Regional Wilderness at 1895 Geary Road in Sunol, a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Yuba City, is nestled in a lush green wooded valley and is well-known for being one of California’s most beautiful natural areas. 

Immerse yourself in nature’s beauty by discovering the area’s natural wonders on miles of trails that wind through grasslands carpeted with wildflowers, along ridges lined with alders, willows, and sycamores, and up to the hilltops for spectacular views of the picturesque valley below. Follow the babbling Alameda Creek down to Little Yosemite, a breathtaking gorge where small waterfalls cascade down enormous boulders into serene pools. 

3. Sequoia National Forest

For the ultimate getaway, head to the vast 1.2 million-acre Sequoia National Forest at 1839 South Newcomb Street in Porterville, five hours away, and discover the land of the giants. Over 850 miles of multi-use trails cut through the forest where the sequoias, the world’s largest trees, grow in groves along the forest’s lower slopes, and giant granite monoliths pierce the sky. 

Explore the rugged, glacier-carved canyons and marvel at the awe-inspiring view of the mountainous landscape. Swim, fish, paddle, and whitewater raft down the rivers and lakes, and sleep under the stars in a scenic family campground, a secluded backpacking or equestrian campsite, or get cozy in a historic cabin deep in the woods. 

Go on an adventurous road trip to stick your toes in the sand on an island in San Francisco Bay, explore a breathtaking valley, and walk through groves of giant sequoias. Contact Geweke Kia today for a checkup before heading down the road to ensure your vehicle gets you safely anywhere you want to go.

One of the most expensive repair jobs a driver can face is an engine destroyed by overheating. The cooling system’s radiator is designed to keep that problem from ever happening, but if your radiator runs into trouble, the engine will soon follow. Along with regular maintenance, it’s important to identify radiator issues early on and fix them quickly. So if you notice the following three common signs of trouble, visit your local Kia dealer right away for radiator repair.

Rising Engine Temperature

When the radiator stops controlling the coolant’s temperature, the heat inside your engine will rapidly rise. Your first warning of this will usually be the temperature gauge on your instrument panel shooting up into the red. 

A Kia’s engine should ordinarily run between 195 and 220 degrees. If it rises above 220 degrees, parts inside the engine will rapidly start to break down; you might notice ticking sounds, a loss of engine power, and steam rising from under your hood. A car with an overheating engine can only go for a quarter of a mile before risking catastrophic damage, so never drive for long if you suspect overheating because of a failed radiator. 

Leaking Coolant

If the coolant flowing through your radiator and engine leaks, the entire cooling system can no longer function properly, and your engine will rapidly overheat. So if you notice the temperature rising, check below your car for puddles of brightly colored, sweet-smelling fluid. 

You can also check under your hood for signs of a leak. The coolant reservoir will be lower than expected, and you might notice patches of discoloration on various engine parts where the coolant has dripped or spurted and then boiled away. Leaks can sometimes stem from radiator caps or hose connections. 

Corroding or Rusting Radiator 

Over time, radiators can start to rust. This is more likely in particularly humid or cold climates, or when your car is left to rest without being used for prolonged periods. When you visually check your radiator, check the caps and fins for signs of corrosion or rust. 

Radiators can also sometimes rust internally if aging coolant loses its rust-prevention qualities. In this case, the coolant inside the transparent reservoir will begin to turn rusty brown in hue. A technician at your local dealership may be able to use special products and processes to destroy external and internal rust. But if the rust is extensive, you might need a new radiator.

How Your Kia Dealer Can Inspect Your Radiator 

A technician will first check your coolant and flush it if necessary. They’ll then remove the radiator cap and check for excessive debris, and also examine the fins for any external clogging. To test the proper functioning of your radiator, they’ll also run a series of pressure checks on the fan, cap, thermostat, pump, and other essential parts. 

Have your radiator inspected, repaired, or replaced today at Geweke Kia. We’ve been providing the drivers of Yuba-Sutter and Lodi for 25 years with great vehicles and great customer service.
