2026 Kia EV62027 Ferrari Luce

Safety

For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Ferrari Luce have pretensioners to tighten the seatbelts and eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision. The Kia EV6 doesn’t offer pretensioners for its rear seat belts.

The Ferrari Luce has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The EV6 doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

The Luce has a standard front seat center airbag, which deploys between the driver and front passenger, protecting them from injuries caused by striking each other in serious side impacts. The EV6 doesn’t offer front seat center airbags.

The Luce has standard post collision braking, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The EV6 doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the Luce. But it costs extra on the EV6.

The Ferrari Luce’s 360 degree parking monitor has integrated front and rear camera washers, ensuring clear, all-weather visibility without the need for manual cleaning. In contrast, the Kia EV6 lacks camera washers, requiring you to manually clean the cameras for optimal performance.

Both the Luce and the EV6 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

Warranty

The Luce comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The EV6’s 60,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

The Luce’s corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the EV6’s (unlimited vs. 100,000 miles).

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the Luce for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Kia doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the EV6.

Engine

The Luce’s electric motors produces 868 more horsepower (1035 vs. 167) and 472 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 258) than the EV6 Light Standard Range’s standard electric motor. The Luce’s electric motors produces 810 more horsepower (1035 vs. 225) and 472 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 258) than the EV6 Long Range’s standard electric motor. The Luce’s electric motors produces 715 more horsepower (1035 vs. 320) and 284 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 446) than the EV6 Long Range’s optional electric motors.

Fuel Economy and Range

Transmission

The Luce’s launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The EV6 doesn’t offer launch control.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Luce’s brake rotors are larger than those on the EV6:

EV6

Front Rotors

15.4 inches

12.8 inches

Rear Rotors

14.6 inches

12.8 inches

The Luce’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs standard on the EV6 are solid, not vented.

The Luce has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The EV6 doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Luce has larger tires than the EV6 (F:265/35R23 & R:315/30R24 vs. 235/55R19). The Luce’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the EV6 (F:265/35R23 & R:315/30R24 vs. 255/45R20).

The Luce’s 265/35R23 front and 315/30R24 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the EV6’s standard 55 series tires. The Luce’s tires are lower profile than the EV6 GT-Line e-AWD’s optional 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Luce has standard 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the EV6. The EV6’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires optional on the Luce can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The EV6 doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

Suspension and Handling

The Luce offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Kia doesn’t offer an active suspension on the EV6.

The Luce has a standard driver-adjustable suspension system. It allows the driver to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads or off-road. The EV6’s suspension doesn’t offer adjustable shock absorbers.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Luce’s wheelbase is 2.4 inches longer than on the EV6 (116.6 inches vs. 114.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Luce is 2.7 inches wider in the front and 2 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the EV6.

For better maneuverability, the Luce’s turning circle is 1.4 feet tighter than the EV6’s (36.8 feet vs. 38.2 feet).

Chassis

The Luce uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The EV6 doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Cargo Capacity

A standard locking glovebox keeps your small valuables safer in the Luce. The EV6 doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the EV6 Wind/GT-Line/GT, the Luce has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position, outside mirror angle, climate settings and radio stations and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The Luce’s front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The EV6’s standard passenger windows don’t open or close automatically. With the EV6 GT-Line’s power windows, only the front windows open or close automatically.

Heated windshield washer fluid is standard on the Luce to defrost the washer nozzles and quickly clear ice and frost from the windshield without scraping. The EV6 doesn’t offer heated windshield washer fluid.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the Luce has standard cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The EV6 doesn’t offer cornering lights. The Luce also has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.

The Luce’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The EV6 has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

The Luce has standard front air conditioned seats and offers them optionally in the rear. This keeps the passengers comfortable and takes the sting out of hot seats in summer. The EV6 doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

The Luce offers optional massaging front and rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the EV6.

The Ferrari Luce has a standard Homelink wireless remote control system for garage door operation and device management, conveniently located for the driver. Homelink® eliminates the need for separate garage door openers and associated risks of losing, breaking, or having dead batteries. Kia charges extra for Homelink® on the EV6.
