Let’s Take a Tour of the EV6’s Tech Features

There’s a lot to love about the 2023 Kia EV6, from its impressive all-electric range and available dual-motor all-wheel drive performance to its fantastic standard comfort features like heated front seats and much more. All of these excellent features get a lot of attention, as they should, but they can also overshadow some of the other things the EV6 has going for it. In particular, the incredible technology that’s packed into this stunning crossover. If you are looking for a Kia EV6 for sale and you’re not sure which trim level to choose, then it’s worth taking a moment to look at all of the technology available on this model.

Your choice of trim will dictate some of the features you get in your EV6, so knowing which bits of tech you want can help make that decision a lot easier. And if you’re not sure that this model is right for you and you’re still weighing your options, then we think the technology packed into this vehicle makes a very compelling argument. Either way, we’re here to take you through some of the most impressive technology that Kia has made available on this model so you can see what it has to offer. And we’re not talking about basic stuff like a wireless phone charger (standard in every model), but the really nice features that remind us why we fell in love with Kia in the first place.

Dual Panoramic Displays

Every new vehicle these days has at least one screen in it since a rear backup camera is required by law on all new cars, and there has to be some sort of display to show it on. But there’s a world of difference between something like a six-inch screen you can find in a lot of vehicles and the absolutely stunning pair of displays that come standard on every model. That’s right––you don’t have to pay extra for these screens; they’re on every trim.

The EV6 features a pair of 12.3-inch panoramic connectivity displays that are perfectly located for easy visibility for the driver. Across the two screens, you get 24 inches of combined curved display area that can provide you with information about navigation, safety alerts, entertainment apps you’re using, and much more. They even feature an integrated blue light filter to help reduce eye strain and driver fatigue, so on long road trips, you can use these screens while driving, and they’ll help keep you sharp.

Kia’s Augmented Reality Head-Up Display

One of the most remarkable features available on the Kia EV6 is this Augmented Reality (AR) Head-up Display (HUD) that provides you with important information in real time right on your windshield. This means you can keep an eye on this information without ever taking your eyes off the road; you don’t even have to glance down at your cluster display screen. Like many other HUDs available on vehicles, this one gives you information about your current speed, safety alerts, and more.

What really takes this HUD to the next level, however, is the integration of AR technology to provide you with useful information in a way that is intuitive and incredibly helpful. The HUD can show you navigation information projected into the real world––that’s the AR element of this display––to make it more useful. Rather than simply telling you to turn left, for example, it will show you arrows pointing to the left where you need to go to become more deeply integrated into your overall driving experience.

Stunning Meridian Premium Sound System

Every trim of the 2023 Kia EV6 is equipped with a 14-speaker Meridian premium audio system that takes your listening experience while on the road to another level entirely. It features an external amplifier to boost sound quality and a subwoofer, which together create a deep and rich bass with full mid-range sound, and crisp highs. Whether you enjoy listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks, the gorgeous sound from this speaker system will make your drive much more pleasant and is perfect for long daily commutes or a road trip.

Power-Up With the Onboard Power Generator

One of the fantastic things about the change to Battery Electric Vehicles becoming more prominent is the way that it is transforming our daily lives. While simple charging connections like USB ports have become quite common in many cars these days, the idea of connecting anything larger to run off of vehicle power is far more specialized. You might find this on some trucks, but otherwise, it typically requires some kind of third-party accessory or aftermarket customization to a vehicle.

The Kia EV6, however, has an available Vehicle to Load port that allows you to use it as a generator to power a wide range of electronic devices. We’re not just talking about charging up your phone when its battery gets low, but powering laptops, electric bikes, camping equipment, and even home appliances. Imagine being without power for a couple of days but being able to use your EV6 to run a coffee pot in the morning or as a power source for an electric heater. That’s not just speculation; you can do all that and more.

Remote Smart Parking Assist to Simplify Your Life

Every Kia EV6 model comes with a substantial package of standard safety technologies, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Car, Cyclist, and Pedestrian Detection along with Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and a Driver Attention Warning. Those are great, but one of the features we’re most excited about is the available Remote Smart Parking system. This technology only comes standard on the highest GT-Line trims but considering what it can do, that’s not really a surprise.

The Remote Smart Parking system, also called Virtual Valet Park Assist, allows you to remotely park your vehicle or exit a parking spot without you even being inside it. You can use the EV6’s key fob while standing outside the vehicle to have it automatically park in or get itself out of a parking spot––even pretty tight spots that would probably take a bit of work on your part. It functions for both perpendicular and parallel parking and makes it incredibly easy to get into or out of your vehicle.

Kia Connect Brings It All Together

While we love all of this remarkable technology, it would be easy for all of it to just be seen as disparate pieces of software and hardware that are each nice on their own. Kia’s designers and engineers have clearly looked at the EV6 as a whole, however, and so all of these systems and features work together beautifully. With the Kia Connect app on your phone or even a smartwatch, you can remotely manage a wide range of features and systems on your vehicle. You can use your phone to check the EV6’s current charge, monitor its overall energy use to see how you’re doing, and even start the vehicle and set the cabin temperature you want.

As you get pre-owned to owning and enjoying everything the EV6 has to offer, it becomes a lot easier to view all of this technology as part of a single, larger system. This impressive tech doesn’t just function in isolation but creates a complete experience for you that makes your life easier and provides you with a vehicle that is incredibly fun to drive. If all of this sounds good and you’re ready to experience this technology for yourself, then come visit us at Allentown Kia, and we’ll show you everything the EV6 can do.
