Great video! I’ve had my ID.4 for almost two and a half years and continue to love it, despite being without it for 6 weeks earlier this year for recalls. It wasn’t accepting the software update and I wasn’t sure I’d even get it back, so I re-investigated other EVs in case I had to get something else. I love the EV6 exterior but the small sunroof, wired Apple CarPlay and lack of rear wiper are dealbreakers. I would buy the ID.4 again over any other existing EV. All EVs have glitches and quirks, but the ID.4 has the best combination of features for me.
That’s quite a testament to the ID.4. I do think the ‘24 model year will bring fairly substantial improvements. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe to see future videos!
I have the 2024 model and all problems were solved regarding software, lack of backlight in temp and vol control, heat pump, and now has bigger and better infotainment screen, better and bigger battery, charges faster and they also added heated windshield to Pro S RWD and it now autolocks when walking away @@EVeryMile01
Hi there. New here. I got a 23 ID 4 two months ago and I love the car. Runs great, the infotainment works good and use it every day for daily commute. We love our new car.
@@barrysrobbinsi have 2024 and it uses a different UI and probably has a different OS. Layout of thr new software is very different, it is much faster and more user friendly. Screen is also bigger at 12.9 inches.
Thanks for making all the videos. I love my 23 ID4 Pro S Plus RWD, and all I want in the new version or refresh is two things. 1 bring climate control button, for on stop change. Second, allow me to raise my driver seat more compared to now. That's all.
I tried to push my wife toward an Ioniq 5, or KIA EV6 but we live on Canada’s raincoast so not having a windshield wiper was a dealbreaker and we have 3 dogs so vehicle space is important. Another huge negative for us was the fact that the closest Hyundai dealership has a horrible reputation. I wouldn’t buy a coffee from them. We pick up our ID.4 tomorrow.
Love our EV6 AWD GT-Line on Vancouver Island, haven't need a rear wiper yet even with the last 1km of access to our property being a dirt road. Buying experience from the Kia dealership was terrible, I'll give you that. You can set a the default screen for the nav/climate by long-pressing the switch button. We leave ours on climate by default as the media controls are easily accessible on the steering wheel and infotainment screen. The nav system will do route planning if you set the destination beyond your range based on state of charge, you can filter by charging network and charge speed as well. The E-GMP platform vehicles are charging monsters - can definitely confirm the 10-80% in 18min claim, hitting 239kW on a regular basis at 350kW stations on multiple trips. That said, I normally charge at home on my 7kW Flo charger. I don't generally use i-Pedal (one pedal driving mode), I almost always have it on Auto Regen level 3, which uses the camera and radar sensor to automatically bring you to a stop when following a vehicle, but otherwise is smoother and less aggressive than i-Pedal mode. You can also pull the left paddle at any time to bring you to a stop using full regen. I love how the EV6 is a driver-focused car with all of the controls angled toward the driver, giving it a cockpit-like feeling. The augmented-reality HUD is just a bonus. :)
I have the ioniq5 for now almost 3 years, it's a FANTASTIC car, which has an incredible quality of build, you won't need the dealer very often... only for the annual check. You get used to not have to rear wiper. You can put the rear camera on while driving which provides a decent view back. Just be aware that you loose about 20-25% range in winter. With the 73kwh, I manage 330km in winter, and 450km in summer. I drive cool, rarely above 110 km/h. I strongly advice you to have a fast charging station at home. I bought the Wallbox capable of delivering 11kW at 32A in 3x400V here in Belgium.
@@bfvadernot sure where you are on Vancouver Island but we have had poor service from the dealership in Nanaimo and excellent service from the dealer in Courtenay for both our EV6 and Niro EV.
@@bobstevenson4396 I'm actually in Nanaimo and yes, Harris Kia here is about as scummy as it gets for dealers - the whole Harris group is, in fact. They have no shame with sneaky add-ons, laughable trade-in offers, and fraudulent service writers. They tried to tell me that the mandatory "Vancouver Island Package" with all weather mats and locking wheel nuts wasn't optional and worth $2000 at the time of delivery. At my first 13000km service they told me they saw wear on my 6 day old snow tires (but couldn't show me where) and recommended an alignment as well as a brake service on a 4mo-old car because "heavy EVs use a lot of brakes"... right... I'm getting all future services done in Courtenay or Victoria.
@@EVeryMile01 Nvm I thought the battery preconditioning was possible because of the heat pump. That's alright, between battery reconditioning and remote climate heating while it's plugged in, that will serve my purposes in winter
@@vulpixelful Nope, the heat pump is not required for the battery pre-conditioning. Oh yeah, the heater as well as the heated seats and steering wheel is great.
I agree with you and also have an ID.4. Another big difference is in the driver assist. Which is better than the EV6 or Ioniq 5. 53600 miles driven in my ID.4 in 17 months without any issues. Love the car.
On the Kia EV6 instead of switching via the button between climate control and mapping etc, it is far simpler to use voice control (eg 'set climate control to 22°C ' or ' set seat warmer to level 3' or 'turn on heated steering wheel') - or if on the climate control already use voice commands such as 'turn on maps', 'turn on navigation'. No fiddling around then.
You did this 4 days ago or depending on when you did a trip but anytime you can't get the navigation working or voice commands working it's user error I apologize for saying that but that's 99% of the time is the case
I was underwhelmed by the infotainment in both cars - but I’d give a slight nod to the VW. No idea why reviewers say good things about Hyundai’s system. I’m personally leaning toward the ID4 - I think it feels a bit better built, rides better and has better steering. Slightly better lease deals too. The controls and UI in nearly all mainstream EVs could be better. The Ioniq 5 is my favorite looking while I actually find the EV6 pretty ugly!
I’m not sure what the lease deals would be, but waiting for the ‘24 ID.4 will get you a couple substantial improvements including better software, as I understand it. Thanks for watching.
I would try rain one again I watch a channel that talks with the ionic 5 and UB6, they updated the infotainment center for 2022 models gets route preconditioning now and you have much better voice commands
Hello! Thanks for watching. Nope. The only issue we had was they factory didn't put refrigerant (or enough) in the AC compressor. We made a video on this very subject. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iCRMoTwK52Q.html If you'd like to see more, be sure to subscribe to our channel!
If you're a road tripper then the EV6 is better. But for your average day to day the ID.4 is better. That being said the these 2 EVs are geared to 2 different buyers.
@@EVeryMile01 it’s my understanding that VW stopped shipping vehicles with heat pumps earlier this year. Not good for 95% of the country.Not as big a deal for those of us on the west coast.
"Yeah, I guess it's innocuous and kind of blends in" - therefore you say it WINS the STYLING? There's a certain lack of objectivity here which undermines the whole video. Your bias shows through. Disappointing.
@@EVeryMile01I agree 100%. But to actually describe the ID.4 as looking "innocuous" but say it wins the styling? Just doesn't add up. One of you is way more objective. Aside from that, enjoyed the video.
@@barrysrobbins Totally fair. My wife and I actually disagreed on this as you heard. I prefer the EV6 or the Ioniq 5 styling. But, I guess, we are biased since we bought the ID.4. Options are a good thing! Thanks again for watching and be sure to subscribe to see future content!
We know that they have the ID4 and by definition that would make it their favorite. I think it was a fair comparison. If you find one car more comfortable than the other that’s hard to argue with. I didn’t hear them say anything really bad about the EV6. I have an EV6 GT because I’m an acceleration junkie and I absolutely love it. BTW, I find the ID4 to be an attractive car.
