Kia debuts high-performance GT variants of EV3, EV4 and EV5

Kia has revealed high-performance GT variants of its EV3, EV4 and EV5 electric vehicles (EVs) at the Brussels Motor Show.

The GT models add all wheel drive, extra power, 20-inch alloy wheels, GT-specific styling and chassis upgrades.

The EV3 and EV4 GT are mechanically related, with the same 81.4kWh battery and dual-motor all wheel drive setup.

Power output is 292PS, split between a 197PS motor on the front axle and a 95PS motor on the rear, enabling acceleration to 62mph in 5.7 seconds for the EV3 and 5.6 seconds for the EV4.

Other additions include Virtual Gear Shift (VGS), which replicates an internal combustion (ICE) engine and paddle-shift gearbox, semi-bucket seats and neon interior accents.

The EV4 GT is available in either Hatchback or Fastback body styles.

The EV5 GT shares the 81.4kWh battery and rear electric motor with the other models, but has a more powerful 211PS front motor, raising output to 306PS.

It has electronically-controlled suspension with a road preview system and a GT-specific interior, featuring semi-bucket seats.
