Range 279–361 mi
Boot 490 l What reviewers say Reviewers agree the updated EV6 charges very quickly, has a competitive range, a roomy cabin and a well-balanced chassis. The common criticisms are a firm ride and a sloping roof that costs headroom and boot space; Autocar thinks newer rivals have overtaken it, Parkers found the safety systems irritating, and What Car? found the GT fast but less fun than rivals.
