you do know Auto has multiple settings, right? Right? also - i'm under the impression when you hit the brakes, it uses regen before applying any brakes. so, there is that too...

I get highest with 0 , allow the car to “ free wheel “ as much as possible rather than 1 pedal full regen driving . I get 1kwh per Mile better efficiency

How can you make the comparison and NOT drive the cars, 'on paper' figures are speculative, brands boast the 'best', but on EVs its the actual physical indepth test that sways the buyer (such as I)

Absolutely wonderful video. Loved it

Thank you Mahesh!! I just discovered your channel as I'm thinking of purchasing an EV6 Gt-Line but waiting for the 2025 upgrade. I love your videos as they're very informative and detailed. I'm discovering many things I didn't know before purchasing the EV6. Are you still happy with the EV6? Again, thank you so much for your great videos and insight! : )

I've been a little concerned with long term battery cost for replacement when needs be. I plan to keep cars for the next 20 years unless its not economic to do so. As much savings there is for fuel, it seems negated if the battery is $60,000 like it was for that individual with the Hyundai Ioniq. Insurance cost is a little higher than an equivalent hybrid for me, $100mo/ vs $140. I just want to see if I'll really save money or not. I only drive about 6000-7000 miles a year.

Impressive video & detail!

Hmmm... interesting... you don't seem to have used 'smart'; cruise control. for any of these trials. I'm in the UK, with an ionic electric 39kwh and use cruise a lot, even in London's suburbs, I am frequently getting 5m/kWh and even reached 7m/kWh on a longer trip recently.

KIA EV6 all the way

Good video however I think you only proved that regen level 3 is the way to go on this route. I wonder how the car would do with auto regeneration level 1 or 2. Also when breaking I believe you get both regenerative breaking and friction breaking for harder stops. The car shows that it is recapturing power in my ionic 6 when using break.

Good job. All clear to me :-)

In rwd version you would get bether results on i-pedel as it actually works in eco mode where AWD have an issue there

I own Ioniq 5 and I love it. I'd go with Hyundai over Polestar for you (larger for dog, charges faster, flexible bc ack seat, it is comfortable but it's still fun to drive on windy roads. EV6 also good but a bit smaller. I am thinking of 2023 Polestar 2 Lobg Range Single Motor Plus with faster charge speeds than AWD. Ioniq is plenty fast. But access to Tesla superchargers is why I may switch to Pokestar. Hyundai will be better lobg road trip car but both are fun. Go with Ioniq 5. Bigger, better driving aids, still fun daily driver. As I said the 2024 Mach-E And Polestar 2 are tempting me, but rgen I drive my Hyundai and come away witg a smile in my face!

after a month its in service for an entire battery replacement with no return date in sight. 😢

Gay sounding bald ABCD named Mahesh 😂😂

I love to use coasting (lvl 0) then the closer I get to the stop sign I will increase the regen level till i stop I get maximum regen and I do not use my accelerator pedal well ahead of the stop zone it's so easy to drive that way same on the highway when it stop in front of me I start increasing regen levels and brakes if I have to but as long as my tampon zone is not too short usually I coast or brake less than in front of me to decrease the distance between me and the car in front and that's enough time to let the traffic pick up speed again no need to let ACC (or AUTO regen mode) stop me in advance to keep the maximum space between us

If and when you ever do this video again you need to recognize that lane keep assist is different from lane follow assist.

I’d love to see which mode provides a better or at least sufficient BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATION. I am more than a little concerned about what people who follow see when I’m slowing rapidly in Ipedal or Auto 3. I actually anticipate legislation addressing this in the future.

The X obviously needs a major optic refresh both for exterior and interior.

i ve tried this cars and i ll go with the auto level 3 all day . 😎

Are you sure the outside temp and your AC settings were the same? That's going to make the biggest difference in eco mode, and longer drive will show a better difference.

T8 has much reduced AWD capability and the added benefits of the hybrid system is also add possible issues in the long run. T6 is definitely a better option if you want good AWD. T8 is a better option if its mostly a commuting vehicle that you plan on selling before the warranty expires anyway.

Now there is an update on the trip planner (charging)

I have the Ioniq 5 rwd 72.4 model 2022 january and driven 97000 km. Not one problem and I think that this vehicle is both silent, good build quality and ok range for its size. In summer on 80% around 350 km on a mix of highway and b road🤗

The issue with I-Pedal in Hyundai/Kia models is that it keeps the front motor engaged all the time. I wish they’d allow stronger regen without locking the front motor on all the time. You can easily adjust the accelerator to coast regardless of regen level selected. The front motor adds additional drag even when not being used for power as PMSM motors cannot freewheel, always exerting a force as the rotor spins even when “coasting”, for this reason Tesla uses induction front motors on the 3/Y as they can freewheel without the need for the mechanical clutch Hyundai/Kia uses.

Very good informative video - thanks for producing and sharing it. My thinking is that the most efficient way to drive the EV6 / Ioniq 5 / GV60 / eGV70 is to use Auto Regen set to a "floor" of Lvl 0 or Lvl 1 and let the system ramp up automatically to as high as Lvl 3 as you come up on slower or stopped traffic. If/when you're coming up on a stop sign or a red light light without any vehicles ahead you can use the left paddle to temporarily raise the Auto Regen "floor" to Lvl 2 or Lvl 3. In either scenario you can pull & hold the left paddle to bring the vehicle to a complete stop rather than using the brake pedal. I encourage all owners of these HMG vehicles to give these methods a try.

GV60

Hi, I have purchased the Ioniq 5 couple of month back... pop come check electric vehicle system and with couple of min. the ac cooling get off.... and when you switch the car again the ac gets on .... but when I shown this problem in the company work shop they are not able to get it whats wrong with it ... sometimes you are able to here the knocking before the ac is gets off... still i am driving the car... and waiting for the company answer what to do next... company is giving the assurance we are still understanding whats wrong .....but no answer yet.... the moral is stick to petrol and say no to electric

I was thinking about buying an EV6 but there is also a charge port overheating issue . As much as I want the car I think I am still going to pass on it. Thanks for your Vid . Thumbs up for this one.

I should be interested in the highway results at say a level 2 regen

When in I Pedal mode using one pedal do the brake lights illuminate when car slows down ? If not a safety issue it would seem. Thanks for replies

Shit, bought one 2 years ago, without watching this video... im doomed.

When in auto you can adjust how much the starting Regen will perform.. while in auto you can bring the amount to almost zero and it will adjust based on your driving.

Recently got my EV6 and this was helpful. I've been driving on Lv3 in city, and traffic, and bring it down to 1 in the highway. But I think I'll start trying Auto Regen Lv3 in the city next time to see how that feels.

We have had two Bolts for about 5 years with minimal problems. Our neighbor has had a Kia for as long. Recently, hers died in traffic. The dealer says they can't fix the problem, and the car sits at the dealer with nothing being done. Kia is off my short list for the next new car....

Thanks!

whats the driving difference between regen and auto regen ? different regens at different speeds ?

Thank you for including the speeds in km/h and efficiency in kWh/100km.

8 months and 12 000 km / 7 500 miles in to my EV6 GT ownership I can confirm these results. Auto regen Level 3 with Normal mode for the motors presents the best efficiency by far. I'm close to a "perfect blend" of 50/50 city and highway driving I might add. On a side note I'm well below the official WLTP consumtion, except when it's below -8°C or so.

Then what about the max mode without i-pedal

Great content. I too have dead 12V battery since I started charging via 40Amp AC. Currently ioniq 5 has 82K miles and dealer confirmed dead battery.

which mode is the car using when you are in driver assist?

Absolutely… the keys, imho, include: software updates, production numbers, quality, range, and price. All should be able to exceed I-Pace since jag has barely done squat to improve any of these areas in 5 years.

I have Mercedes super sexy car

I know Hyundai uses one pedal regen using the gas pedal, levels 0-4, but how does it use the brake pedal? Does stepping on the brake pedal in a Hyundai EV or Hybrid activate only the friction brakes. Or does stepping on the brake pedal activate “Brake Blending”? (that is Blending both regen and friction) If so, does stepping on the brake pedal, activate brake blending even if in any one of the 4 one pedal modes 0-4?

I change the in my Kia EV6 12v battery and when I charge my car, give me 300 mile and then when I drive around the local without heat and AC 150 mile but my all 300 mile is gone I don’t know where is 150 mile dropped please can you tell me any tips please 90% give me 300 mile and this never happened before I change the battery I was dropped only maybe 40 -50 mile but not that much

Wow! of course, i'm in a Kona, no AWD. I drove a manual mazda for 17 years - i prefer starting in 0 and using the paddles to slow down when i need it.

Used e-tron :)

Thanks so much for your review I a first time EV selector for company car the tax is a lot more favourable v diesel especially if below 60k€ on the road price, I played with both Audi and Volvo configurators I think the Q4 just adds that little bit extra internally, not loving the volvo portrait screen console! I think Q4 is my choice!
