Since we took a first look at the new Kia EV6 we've been desperate to take it out on the roads and it did not disappoint, But what makes the EV6 so special in a market awash with electric SUVs?
As the car that has the task of single-handedly reinventing the Kia brand, and having to follow the success of the Kia e-Niro - the EV6 has a lot of resting on its space-age designed shoulders. Its crazy, Batmobile-style design won't be for everyone, but if one drives past you, we can guarantee you will turn and look.
So, what do we think? This is an extremely impressive, well-rounded and thoughtfully designed electric family car that has been successful in transforming the Kia brand to be more luxurious, tech-focused and sporty whilst maintaining the practical features they are known for. We really, really like it, but what do you think? Tell us below.

@amperformance7998 2 года назад

When you have to sit passengers on top of a battery pack, that will necessarily raise the car's height, giving it a sort-of SUV look. The Polestar2 has a similar high-sedan look that somewhat reminds me of the rare Subaru Legacy Outback sedan, or the AMC Eagle. I personally dislike SUVs, but find the EV6's positioning and slightly taller roof justified.

Indeed, definitely a game changer, watch-out EV world the Koreans and Chinese are ready to pounce, BIG STYLE. I can forsee a wave of Tesla owners defecting to the EV6, why wouldn't they? Other than the supercharger network (which is to be opened-up to all Ev's in the near future) Tesla has little else to offer that isn't up-trumped by the EV6. If Kia get this car absolutely right at launch, they are nto a winner for sure.

@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270 2 года назад

I parked next to an Ioniq 5 at Bordeaux airport last week when I was plugging the e-Niro in. It’s a big car! Wheelbase is longer than a BMW 5 series. The EV6 looks great but both cars are a bigger than we need. The e-Niro has proved to be a brilliant car to own and drive after 2.5 years and 50,000 km, solid build and well designed at least as good as German and Japanese brands I have owned in the past. Kia and Hyundai are on a roll.

And this is currently my favourite car of all cars currently out there, it just ticks all the boxes in looks and practicality. It was really gratifying to watch it being covered in detail. Can't say I agree about the Ioniq 5, it just makes me think 80's printer. The only thing missing is the LPT1 port.

"things I want to adjust while I'm on the move... temperature" Am I the only one who basically sets the temperature once and basically never touches it again? Why would I want to be constantly adjusting the temperature? Set it to a figure that is comfortable and let the AC handle the rest. It's a hot day? AC will automatically cool the cabin to the set temperature. On a cold day it will heat it up. What's there to adjust?

22 degrees Auto as baseline, 2 down if it is cold out, 2 up if it is hot. Use preconditioning. Move this to where you feel best. The end. He should have picked volume :)

@Xenon0000000000001 2 года назад

The same temperature setting can be too hot on a hot humid day with sun coming in or too cold on a wet miserable day. It can also depend on what you're wearing. If you've got a lot of layers on because it's cold outside, you might find yourself getting too hot as you warm up. A fixed air temp doesn't give you a fixed "feels like" temp.

@@Xenon0000000000001 humidity does not change much if you use the compressor. Regarding clothing and individual preference there are differences by region, by gender, by personal feeling and between manufacturers.

Excellent review Jack, 100% nailed it. I wasn't sure about the EV6's looks when I first saw pictures of it, but like a lot of designs which look quirky at first, it grew on me. I don't think it looks like an SUV or a compact, and it doesn't look like an estate. It's sort of in between a lot of styles, and I think I would learn to like that as well... even those door mirrors!

This is a fantastic video and review. Neither the EV6 nor the Ioniq 5 are available in Canada, but I just made a preview video about the Ioniq 5 when it was featured at the Montréal EV show this past weekend. I thought it was brilliant with a very open interior, an amazing panoramic roof, and a great design with regards to buttons versus touch or tactile. If the EV6 is as spacious, or almost as spacious as the Ioniq 5, then I think Kia has a winner on its hands and I do think it is an excellent rebranding/redesigning of Kia vehicles. I love my e-Niro but you are correct, it was a purchase made with my head not my heart; even though I think it looks good, it is not sexy like the EV6 is... but that's just me :)

@Euroduplex 2 года назад

I'm in Korea, where H/K/G offers all of their electrics. Length and width wise, EV6 is on par with its Hyundai sibling, while sleeker shape ebbs into headroom and trunk space.

Went to a launch at the local Kia showroom. I've bought 6 various cars from them 3 Picantos (my wife loves them), 2 Sportages and a Stinger gt. The GT Line S has prized me out of my Stinger and is on order for February. Love the styling and so roomy for my 6ft 2in frame.

@dalroth10 2 года назад

I was really impressed with the EV6 when I first saw it on a number of early videos and love both the exterior and interior styling. Much prefer it to the Ioniq 5 to be honest. I expressed interest in the car when it was first available to pre-order and then attended a launch event at my local Kia dealership. Seeing it in the metal and being able to get inside it to appreciate the internal space, layout and quality then made me want it. Much the same as your experience Jack. I'm leasing a Hyundai Kona at the moment but as soon as the lease expires the EV6 is at the top of the list for test driving.

@jhewitthunt 2 года назад

Great video! I love the look of this thing. It's very unique styling reminds me of when the evoque first came along. The only reason this car may not sell like hot cakes is people having brand snobbery. If Kia was a new brand (like tesla) with this exact car and price tag, people would accept it as a mid tier car, and love it. But as kia has historically been a cheaper brand, that's why some may struggle. I don't care about brands. So I'll definitely be getting one 👍

How many kWh/mile? This is what we need to know. The Kona and e-niro excelled on that front without even being done on a EV-platform. And this one has twice the voltage to reduce losses, so this one should be amazing. Is it?

@jrharbortproductions 2 года назад

It uses about 258Wh/Mile. So the Efficiency is around 4 miles per kW.

I don't like the look of saloons or sports cars so Tesla are not eye candy to me and their UI is pretty terrible (speaking as an IT person who trained in human computer interfaces - it's just not suitable for controlling features of a car while driving) though I appreciate the tech and level or support. As for what other's think, why should I care? If my car makes me happy to drive it that should be all that matters right? The only thing that might ever force me to get a Tesla would be their charging network and it seems that will be opened up soon so is a moot point.

I haven’t seen the EV6 or the Ioniq yet but I did see the Mustang Mach-E recently and it looked so bulky. From what I have heard in these reviews both the EV6 and Ioniq are going to be the same. Too big for our roads I fear, much as I applaud both their looks.

@benanderson89 2 года назад

None of these cars are too big for British roads. It's a very average sized car. If you can drive a Ford Mondeo then you can drive this as they're the same size.

Tragically never made it to FC Outside early enough to arrange test drives, but comparisons with ID4 & Ionic 5 were the useful info I needed. Great review. Tasty car.
