Kia EV6 vs. Tesla MODEL Y ( in 5 min! ) 

WATCH NEXT - 30 electric crossovers on the market now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tizxDXgDOEQ.html

basic model y now starts at $44,990.00 PLUS it qualifies for a $7,500.00 federal tax credit for eligible buyers.

Kia hybrid and ev battery packs are under warranty to 10 year/ 100k miles

I own a 2019 KIA Niro All-Electric - AMAZING car, only superficial problems that were fixed immediately by KIA warranty. When the car was delivered it had 326 mile range - seriously.

I like these 5-minute videos.

Love 5 Minute videos! You are very insightful, I can do a 5-minute video in between meetings. Thanks!

You don't talk about how much power sentry mode takes.. don't leave it on not plugged in if it's more than a day or two..

Great vid

Sure can take Kia MSRP and compare to Tesla, but the problem is that Kia dealer will add $10.000 market adjustment, then EV6 is not so cheap anymore.

Before I bought my tesla I looked at the ev6 and they wanted 15k over invoice....tesla as you know doesn't upprice...

Excellent point for point comparison. I would have never looked at Kia. I thought Kia was a cheaply made vehicle. But my understanding now is that it’s part of Hyundai, if I’m not mistaken.

Nice I like both and that AP number plate on kia ❤, but I might go for y juniper.

The matchup I’ve been waiting for

Hyundai joins the Nacs club!! upvoted!!

I had a Kia E Niro, I tried to buy an EV6, huge mark up, couldn’t get options I wanted. No tax rebate. Looked at a model y and walked out with a Y performance, totally happy, actually glad I couldn’t get the EV6. And I bought it after Elon lowered the price so the Tesla was actually lower priced.

Someone knew you were going to post this and preemptively brought the RWD model Y back to meet the price point

Whilst the model Y is more sluggish than the EV6, I don’t necessarily think the Tesla is so behind in general. Long term, yes, Tesla will be overtaken by the larger innovation and rapid pace in China and even South Korea; but at least for right now Tesla has a good following that could hold out for several years.

real world range for the long range Y is around 270 miles. fast charging is 30mins at best, if cold, 40.

Nice vid,

You returned an EV 6 early? I thought you returned a VW ID4 early? When did you have an EV6, and why did you return it?

Thx for the comparison but one deception because I consider you as independent and wise to read marketing bs : automaker found as an argument to provide the speed of charge up to 80% but as ev drivers we know it is pointless: for me when I charge the car it is to drive miles and not %😊 How could it be relevant to compare charging speed between a 100 kwh battery and a 65 kwh one whilst we know that charging speed is a matter of Voltage, the Kia is built with 800v circuits?

This is what I wanted to see.

There is an aspect that I want to point out. That is that many customers that have had good experiences with their cars will return to that car manufacturer. As these manufacturers present their EV’s and prove that they can compete in quality and price maybe the field will even put a bit. Thanks for these video series.

Nice video but unfortunately is more for the US situation than Europe. But EV6 and model Y are the best cars right now it a small advantage for Tesla

How a vehicle looks plays an important part in vehicle selection, somewhat like when one considers dating someone. The interior of the Tesla is very bland and the exterior is barely ok. My first EV was a model 3 because there was not much of a choice back then. For my next EV purchase I compared the model Y to the Mach E. I’m so glad I choose the Mach e. My model 3 has been relegated to being a spare vehicle. This example can be applied to the comparison between the Y and the EV6 as well

You can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.

Your intro E,,,,FOR ELECTRIC was good, what happened?

Comparing cars? Evs? Its the proven reliability im looking to compare

my diesel sweetheart has done 500Kms and still enough diesel to go another 500kms. U do the maths into miles and u get the idea how much blessed not to have EV junk in my lap. Thank u EV lovers 😀 😀 😀 😀 N no i dont own diesel truck, its hyundai station wagon not SantaFe

Alrx...that wasn't the only car you turned in early...remember the ID4?!

Ev6 looks amazing in person. I just saw one yesterday. The Tesla looks so boring it’s just sad

If the microphone were any bigger, it would be covering your face. Unless that's what you're going for. lol

This guy sounds like a Tesla hater. Model Y is the best selling EV in the world for a very good reason. Oh and by the way almost all of those recalls for Tesla were all over the air fixes.

Wow, this video is just 5 minutes long, but the first point, which is "most important", is ridiculously wrong only 30 seconds in. The Tesla Model Y, which FULLY qualifies for the U.S. tax credit, starts at $36,490. Not $50k. And on top of that, the Tesla gets you 30 miles MORE range! So that makes the Tesla Model Y less than the Kia by over $7500. Oh and another mistake, the Model Y is not just the best selling EV in the world, it is the best selling passenger car OF ANY KIND in the world (gas or electric). And what are you blathering about - "Tax credit is harder to get"? It's exactly the same as always, but it gets MUCH easier starting in January because it will be an instant credit at purchase! I don't see any point in watching the rest of this video if you can't even get any of this information right. The Kia, in reality gets completely crushed. It's not even close. The Tesla is better, faster, lower cost, longer range, more automation, and better drivetrain quality with many Teslas showing they will go past 300k miles with ZERO maintenance to the drivetrain. Nice try. And before someone tells me that the Tesla is not faster, compare apples to apples. When you look at the least expensive Model Y (6.6s) and EV6 (8s), the Tesla is faster. How much did Kia pay you? Here is the actual Breakdown of the two least expensive trims: Tesla Model Y RWD/ Kia EV6 Light RWD Range: 260 miles / 232 miles 0-60: 6.6s / 8s Price: $36,490 / $43,925 Now there is a single trim on the Kia EV6 that beats the Tesla Model Y off the line. The Tesla Y Performance ($45k) does 0-60 in 3.5s (officially) and the Kia EV6 GT Line ($62k) does 0-60 in 3.4s (officially), however, in the real world, stock Tesla Model Ys have clocked in at 3.37s. So $16k more for a Kia that will still probably lose at the track to a Performance Model Y ? Sure. You can always count on the internet for your daily dose of garbage and lies.

Really .1 seconds faster? Funny you mentioned the one recall for the EV6 BUT FORGOT TO MENTION THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT with the charger overheating causing an interruption in charging! There is a class action lawsuit because Hyundai does not honor their warranties! Conveniently forgotten in your video!

1,000 kwh of free charging is useless if you can't actually use the chargers. Electrify America is notorious for being unreliable unlike Tesla chargers sets the standard in EV charging reliability and availability. how convenient that those points aren't raised.

I wonder why the model Y is the worlds best selling car 🤔

Good video. Tried both cars in 2022 before buying a Ford Mach-e. The EV6 was nice but cramped in the front seat and entirely unusable in the back seat. (I'm 6'4" tall.) The MY had an absolutely HORRIBLE ride. It also does not have CarPlay or Android Auto. Also, I'd be very concerned with Hyundai/Kia quality. They need to get a few years of solid products out.

No need to forget that Tesla is cheaper than Kia. They don't sell cars through dealerships and the price of Tesla is the real price without dealerships addons. And most importantly is that what even Tesla Rear rear-wheel drive has the same safety features as Performance.

Electric cars is good for 10 years those car until new is good. But hybrid cars is much better full electric is no good any more after 10 years no mechanic fix it even go to dealer they don’t except car to fix

I got 6 months of free supercharging when I bought my Tesla Model YP. Also, free 1,000 hours of free charging for Kia at broken stations or apps that won’t connect isn’t really a great deal.

In May 2024 the EV6 is 10000 less than the model Y

Where are these $70K Model Ys? Come on Alex, this is what you would call BS.

Come back to daddy Elon 😂

Why do you still talk using miles even after fleeing US? Start using Km, bro

Your remarks concerning the frunk are senseless cause they only refer to the AWD version. If you want to buy an EV6 you have to buy the Long Range RWD. You definitely do not need AWD. In the RWD you have a very large frunk.

When are you disappearing to Asia? Pls soon.

I think the EV5 will be a more direct competitor for the Model Y. Details coming on the 12th on the Kia EV day. Sorry but why did you hate the EV6? And as an aside, the Model Y is going to be replaced within the next 12 months, why would people be buying this version at full price?

I was about to order a Tesla Model Y but after watching Musk supporting Russia I am now looking at any other manufactures EVs. #boycottTesla
