I have the ioniq5, initially wanted to buy the ev6, but it was out of stock and 6 months wait. I went for the ioniq5 instead... and it's the best car I have ever had. After an Audi Q7 3.0 liter diesel, I believe this means a lot ! I will never go back to ICE and my next one will most probably be a Hyundai ioniq11 or a Kia ev22 LOL
Love my AWD Kia EV6 GT-Line, I was comfortably hitting 450-475km (280-295mi) in the summer on my daily commute on mostly highways at 120km/hr (75mi/hr), currently averaging around 350km (220mi) in winter at -10 to -15°C in Canada. I don't DC fast charge often, but have seen it hit 239kW for extended periods at multiple 350kW CCS chargers. It seems like you're underrating the specs? Not only aesthetic differences between the two... While the Ioniq 5 has a little more trunk (boot) space owing to the taller back, the EV6 has a slightly better drag coefficient of 0.28 vs 0.29 for the HI5; giving it a few more miles of range and a cleaner back window thanks to the rear lightbar/spoiler. The EV6 is also about 2-300lbs lighter and has a sportier suspension.
Thanks for this comment. What pop to me the most from your comment was that the EV6 was a sportier car. I've got a 2022 Kia Niro EV lease that's about to come to an end and today I went and drove the EV6. The NIro has been great, but we need something slightly bigger for our secondary car (primary is a 3 row SUV - '24 XC90). I'm guessing because we're coming off of a Kia lease, all things the same, the EV6 should be coming to us at a better price. So this is helpful.
Ioved the video guys, you are both great presenters and fantastic dialogue. More close up B roll when highlighting the features I would suggest. Subscribed
Since they're basically the same car, two things swayed my choice to the EV6. First, I needed the charge connection to be in the back, second, we just prefer the cosmetics of the EV6 both from the inside and outside.
