The interior offers a tastefully crafted, spacious cabin with ample room for passengers and cargo.

CarGurus experts rate both the 2022 Kia EV6 and the 2022 GMC Yukon 7 out of 10 for performance. The 2022 Kia EV6 offers impressive performance, especially in the GT-Line e-AWD trim, which features two electric motors producing 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque.
