Both powertrains feature a 77.4kWh battery, and ultra-fast 800V charging capability, allowing a 10-80% charge in 18 minutes.

Further equipment with GT-Line spec includes GT-Line styling details, wireless smartphone charging, privacy glass, and blind-spot collision warning, while GT-Line Scars also feature kit including a panoramic sunroof, remote smart park assist, a powered tailgate, a 14-speaker Meridian audio system, and an augmented reality head-up display.

 

Prices start at £40,895 for the base EV6, which is rear-wheel drive only, then rise to £43,895 for a rear-wheel-drive GT-Line, £47,395 for an all-wheel-drive GT-Line, £48,395 for a rear-wheel-drive GT-Line S, and £51,895 for an all-wheel-drive GT-Line S.
