The 2022 Kia EV6 is a new electric SUV from the Kia brand. With a faster 0-60 mph time than the Porsche Cayenne Coupe, the Kia EV6 is notable as an EV crossover for its sporty drive and stylish design. But, this electric SUV is also a vehicle that is ready for some adventure. For those who are shopping for a vehicle that can handle camping and other situations, the 2022 EV6 is up to the task. Especially with this one key feature, an available onboard power generator.

With the new Kia EV6, buyers have the option to add an available onboard power generator. Because of this, Kia’s electric SUV can power a variety of camping equipment. Making exploring the great outdoors an easier task. While the EV6 does not offer the same capability as an off-road SUV, it does show that an EV crossover can handle life in the wilderness.

Kia states that the onboard power generator can power everything from mobile devices to other electric vehicles. But, it can also power camping equipment which will come in handy when getting out of the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. 

With the 2022 EV6, buyers get legitimate cargo capacity

In addition to the available onboard power generator, the Kia EV6 also offers the benefits of an SUV. With up to 50.2 cubic feet of rear cargo capacity, there is plenty of room for gear and more. In theory, one could likely sleep in the back of a new EV6. But for camping purists, a tent may be more ideal. 

The front of the EV6 lends extra cargo space as well. And that is likely to be appreciated by those in search of a new electric SUV. The sustainable materials don’t hurt either. 

The Kia EV6 is an EV crossover that can tow

For those in search of an EV SUV, towing capacity is likely a large selling point. When properly equipped, the 2022 Kia EV6 does have the ability to tow up to 2,300 pounds. And while that may not enable this vehicle to handle large trailers, it is ample towing ability for small camping toys.

The towing capacity is thanks to the performance of the EV6. According to Car and Driver, this EV crossover generates up to 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. It also boasts available all-wheel drive and a heat pump. Both of these features will aid in dealing with things like winter conditions. 

Can the 2022 Kia EV6 go off-road?

The new EV6 may have things like available AWD, but that does not mean it is equipped to handle off-road situations. The ground clearance is not all that impressive, and it doesn’t feature the protections needed for handling rough trails.

That said, the 2022 Kia EV6 can get you to a camping spot or just help to give charge to a tailgate party thanks to its available onboard power generator. When it comes to having enough power to get home, settings can be adjusted to give power availability alerts.
