Kia Considers Full-Self Driving For EV6

It's hard to imagine how we'd make the2022 Kia EV6any better, besideswaiting for the high-performance EV6 GTwith 577 horsepower. Despite this, Kia is already working on how to improve its popular electric vehicle by adding requested features in a facelifted model. TheKorean Car Blogobtained a survey sent out by Kia, asking customers various questions about what they'd like to see in an updated EV6.

Kia did not publicly admit what it asked in the survey, but does not deny sending one out. "Like all automakers, Kia America continuously studies the marketplace to identify and gauge consumer interest and trends," a Kia spokesperson toldCarBuzz.

The survey reportedly mentions a "full self driving option" priced at $7,500, asking current EV6 owners if that amount sounds reasonable. This could be Kia's attempt to see if its customers are as interested in semi-autonomous driving features as Tesla owners. For reference, Tesla currently charges $12,000 for its Full Self-Driving Capability and recently started offering a cheaperEnhanced Autopilot feature for $6,000.

It's unclear when Kia would roll out such a feature and what its capabilities would be. Kia's Highway Driving Assist II currently combines adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist on the highway, but does not allow drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel like GM's Super Cruise of Ford's BlueCruise.
