Being a relative to a performance car, the Mustang Mach-E delivers unbridled power and an impressive electric range. The Kia EV6 is eager to make a name for itself by rivaling the capabilities of the Ford. Which EV will come out on top?
Buckle up for a pulse-quickening exploration of raw power. In one corner, the Mustang Mach-E steps into the ring. The asphalt becomes your canvas as you unleash this mighty force, propelling ahead with a grin-inducing acceleration. On the opposite side, the Kia EV6 enters the arena, flexing its electric muscles that catapult you into the future by seamlessly blending speed and sustainability.
Each EV is a powerhouse capable of producing up to at least 480 horsepower and reaching speeds of 60 MPH from an idle position in a mere 3.5 seconds, but the Mustang Mach-E pulls ahead of the Kia. When optionally equipped, the Ford delivers up to 634 lb-ft of torque. This can help your SUV accelerate faster for a truly hair-raising commute. The Kia EV6 tops off with a maximum torque of 545 lb-ft.
Without an engine, the Mustang Mach-E and the Kia EV6 stride confidently into the future, championing sustainability thanks to their production of zero tailpipe emissions. Not only does this help eliminate an estimated 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, but it also means you no longer need to make trips to the gas station since each SUV can be charged right at home.
The Kia EV6 comes standard with an EPA-estimated 232-mile electric driving range. While this is impressive, it pales in comparison to the EPA-estimated 250-mile electric driving range of the Ford Mustang Mach-E. Plus, if you opt to drive the California Route 1 model, your SUV comes with an extended range of an EPA-estimated 312 miles. The EV6 offers similar numbers but still lacks the range capabilities of the Ford.
The Mustang Mach-E and the EV6 act as your personal time machines, bringing futuristic capabilities to the present. Let’s explore their offerings to see which model provides more of what you need.
Whether you’re looking to navigate your way to a new restaurant or stay entertained with your favorite songs, the Mustang Mach-E and the EV6 are equipped with the modern features needed. The Ford positions itself as a digital maestro, featuring a colossal 15.5-inch touchscreen display that transforms your SUV into your personal command center.
Sync your phone via Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ to play your favorite songs. You can even stream episodes of your favorite podcast without using your phone’s data, thanks to the built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot capabilities.
While you’ll find similar capabilities inside the EV6, you’ll notice this SUV comes with a less impressive touchscreen. It only measures 12.3 inches, so those who drive the Kia may have a harder time quickly viewing data.
You live a busy life, so why not rely on your SUV to help you feel more energized at the end of the day? You can do just that since both SUVs are equipped with hands-free driving capabilities. Available BlueCruise with Ford or Highway Driving Assist with Kia provides steering, braking, and acceleration assistance on compatible roads.
While you’ll likely find similarities in these features, you may feel more comfortable utilizing the hands-free capabilities of the Mustang Mach-E since BlueCruise was voted a Top-Rated Active Driving Assistance System by Consumer Reports.
You were never made to blend in. Luckily, with bold profiles and eye-catching design elements, you’ll find that both the Mustang Mach-E and the Kia EV6 help thrust you into the spotlight.
If you’re a fan of science fiction, you’re sure to love the futuristic shape of the Kia EV6. With its elongated length and wheelbase that gracefully tapers into a shaped front and flared rear, you’ll love the sculpted design of this SUV.
The Mustang Mach-E offers a similarly unique profile; however, you’ll find this SUV stands out since it pays homage to its performance-car cousin with various exterior elements like high-gloss black accents that contrast perfectly with bold colors like Rapid Red Metallic or Vapor Blue Metallic.
An extra feature found exclusively in the Ford is the tri-bar LED lighting system, which perfectly blends aggressive features with contemporary elegance.
The Mustang Mach-E and the EV6 were designed to meet your comfort needs. Further proving their commitment to a greener future, each SUV comes standard with vegan leather upholstery. For family trips or outings with your pup, you may prefer the easy-to-clean and durable material found with the Ford.
Another perk to picking the Ford is the standard Drive Modes feature, which provides a tailored experience to your commute. Select one of three driving modes, then sit back, and relax while the cabin automatically adapts to your mood by adjusting interior lighting, sounds, and driving dynamic.
Despite the Kia EV6 proving to be a solid contender, in the end it’s the Ford Mustang Mach-E that we pick to enhance your Glen Allen, Ashland, or Rockland, VA, trips.
