The Kia EV6 has won just about every group test and comparison going. We love it and judging by Kia’s order books, you’re every bit as impressed with the EV6 as we are. But is it still the car to choose? Genesis – Kia and Hyundai’s posher and more premium stablemate – has introduced a new challenger in the form of the GV60. It’s got the same mechanical bits and bobs as the EV6 but introduces a bold new look, a flashier interior and a higher price tag.

But is newer better? Join Ginny and Nicki as they pitch both back to back to discover which is the better buy. Would you rather have the sportier looks and lower price tag of the Kia or the fancier cabin and more exclusive appeal of the Genesis? Let us know in the comments below.
