Edit: I just read back my convo with the designer and he said Lancia Stratos, not Delta, sorry! 🤦🏻♂️
I'm glad misha, because I seriously couldn't see it was an integrale lookalike 😁😁
Yeah, heh, I think the Ionic 5, its sister car, looks very much like Lancia Delta, though :)
Yay good - it was Lancia Stratos that made more sense :)
Lancia stratos hf was my favorite toy car as a kid along with the f40. I am happy whenever people get inspiration from its design.
i was also confused maybe put a *Stratos on the video (probably not, it's already uploaded, and you're probably onto many more things haha)
Kia and Hyundai are truly getting spicy.
yup!! some (read: ALL) manufacturers better up their EV-game.. FAST!! because Kia and Hyundai aren't waiting around!
Red Hot Kimchi Spice~!
They’ve been getting spicer since they hired the top designers and engineers from all the other top brands, like Bentley, Lamborghini, Audi, etc..
They always were but people were too busy reading faked reviews from German or British media outlets

Bir gün işlerim iyi giderse bu Ev6 veya hyndai epilsade alcam:°○
It is amazing what Kia and Hyundai have developed into in the past couple of years. I was planning to get a Stinger GT for a while, had a test drive.. liked it... but I feel its a bit "too much" of car for my parking situation and in general the routes I take. So I decided for a i30N and am very happy with it. But if the next car has to be electric... I hope this one will be available...
you have to consider the Hyundai N Vision 74 ;)
how about N Vision 74???
You might get one even if your next car doesn’t HAVE to be electric.
It's insane that Hyundai (Hyun-DAY), Kia and Genesis have come so far so quickly. I actually they've leapfrogged the Japanese car companies in many respects. While I was formerly a big BMW/Mercedes fan, I was aiming for an Ioniq 5 or Ioniq 6 but this Kia looks incredible (I actually prefer the interior of the Kia). Amazing video!
I have driven the all wheel drive GTLine with "only" 360+HP. What an amazing machine! I can only imagine what over 500HP must be like!
325hp on the GT-Line AWD. And 585hp on the GT.
@@speksih is this one that misha drove rwd?
@@TiagoSilva-rv2ws it is AWD, but the rear motor is more powerful giving it a rear-biased drive.
@@speksih Sorry mate, I stand corrected, but 325 is still no slouch ;)
Have the EV6 AWD since Mai and made already several longer trips (it‘s not a track race car but for sure a GT = Gran Tourismo). And more important with soft throttle and a good look ahead you will end with an average of 15,7 kWh per 100 km. Still it‘s fast with 0-100 of just 5,2 Seconds from stand and not already rolling. Measured 608 Nm do the rest. Inside it‘s really quieter than a Mercedes EQE (very loud A/C) and roomier too at half the price. And we have perfectly adjustable electric seats over the GT‘s Sportseats. So if you need not to drift and impress Tesla, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ferrari owners already the less motorized versions are impressive compared the rest of the plot and actually available cars. Only the Ioniq 5,6 or Genesis GV60 are coming close. In a long distance test in Germany the EV6 got an index value of 1,03 and was winner in all classes. The next best EQS got 0,92 and the Porsche Taycan 0,90 with the 800 Volts architecture too, the rest was to forget.😜😎
Someone at my workplace drives this, it's a stunning car honestly. First time I saw it I thought I was looking at a super expensive exotic brand
None of the GTs have been yet delivered.
@@speksih #brainpoweredoff
@@speksih Then that must be the regular version, either way a good looking car.
@@Dudulelr The GT is purposely not designed to be massively different to the normal trim levels. It only has subtle visual accents that differentiate from the lower specs. It doesn't need to shout to prove it's credentials.
the speed between corners is insane, this looks like so much fun
No longer one of the German premium models is the most suitable electric car for long distances, but the Kia EV6. With an index value of 1.03, the 800-volt Stromer from South Korea is the first vehicle ever to have a charging index that is larger than 1.
To explain: The ideal for the motorway defined by P3 would be to charge electrical energy for a range of 300 kilometres (km) in 20 minutes - the P3 Charging Index thus compares consumption with real charging capability. An electric car that meets this target would be rated by P3 with a charging index of 1. The EV6 even manages slightly more, the second-placed Mercedes EQS comes to a value of 0.92.
Being a partner with Rimac helps
Sounds like some bullshit made-up index. Did they test i4 M40 or Model 3 LR?
@@RobertPuklin those charge slower
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 agreed, but both have significantly higher efficiency. 20% slower charging with 20% better efficiency should net the same result.
@@RobertPuklinBMW doesnt even stand lmao
I'm impressed. I want one. My parents own a Kia each. They are very good cars. Cheers for the insight into this beast
I like to vote for Misha getting the Kia on the Nordschleife!
Yet again and along with the Polestar, videos like this are the only thing making me excited about EV's. To witness the smiles and laughter from driving it is such a good sign of things to come. Thank you. Bravo Kia as well. What a great bit of technology.
It sounds good inside too..
I bought a Kia Niro in 2017 used it for rideshare. Over 5000 rides. Seats and trim hung in there, car ran flawlessly over 100k miles. I would buy a Kia in a second. This car is intriguing. Thanks Misha
I tested the EV6 AWD / GT with some 350HP?! and instantly fell in love with everything about the car and I am not even a car guy. Since it is above the amount of money I am willing to spend I also went for the Niro EV, which has a very similar cockpit but isn't as great and almost perfect as the EV6 is, but it is more affordable, has over 200HP, a 64KW battery and is more efficient hence has more range for the money. Inside I feel at home and I have never felt more relaxed while driving than in this car, with HDA (Highway autopilot) every jam is giving you time to read and statistically save energy/gain range. The relax seat can even recline wile driving 🤣 while watching videos while driving has been blocked but there is a workaround for that. You have a 230V 3KW outlet and can power your house from it, so it goes both ways.
Kia and Hyundai really have come a long way in the last 10 years, pretty amazing ... great prices and then 7-8 years of warranty on top ... what more can you ask for!
@@n1vca cool, if you buy a Niro EV over the 52 mpg hybrid your an idiot. The platform is excellent but range and charging aren’t worth the hassle. The EV6 is very expensive. One thing I didn’t like about my Niro is they overfilled the oil 3 separate times. By a liter. Again first year model. They had it wrong from the factory info. Their technicians aren’t the best, this is a invitation to disaster. Glad you like the car.
@@thereissomecoolstuff Why would I want to have a thermal engine in my car, that is really stupid, loud, stinky and lots of stuff that can break and is environmentally irresponsible these days. Have you checked the intervals and service costs to operate a combustion versus an EV? You would not have run into your oil problem in the first place.
Here in Germany if you have an EV you pay no annual taxes, you get money back by not wasting CO2 (THG), you have free parking in cities, I am paying a third of what I would pay for the same distance with a combustion engine, we have fast chargers everywhere. If we would do a trip into the mountains (I hike almost every weekend) with my totally silent over 200HP it is just super relaxed and when driving down the mountain your brakes would be glowing while my battery is almost full again. I tolerate combustions cars to be bought only by people who don't have the money for high initial costs of an EV or those that have special modes of operation (e.g. big and heavy trailer) or live in a country with a shitty charging infrastructure and no solar power at home. Also with the additional heat pump I can remotely heat the car in the winter very efficiently by smartphone or turn the AC on in the summer before I enter the car ... try that with your historic combustion car. Do you also have AC power with 3KW load capability in your car?! I have never been traveling as relaxed as I do with an EV, love it.
@@n1vca great comment. I get Germany rewarding electric vehicle owners. I don’t agree electrical will be dominant sooner than later. A majority of Americans are hurting financially. They aren’t going to buy an expensive car for a while. Unless they invent one thousand mile batteries in the next 3 months I think EVs are going to languish.
AMAZING work Hyundai and KIA, they are coming along very strongly on the EV market pushing Tesla.
You have to respect the consistency and continued improvements by massive leaps every time... its awesome to see such impressive cars come from kia...
The new design stuff looks incredible and very interesting... let alone the power and mad smiles it has created in this post.....
Man, Kia is really starting to mature!
Kia/ Hyundau are really pushing. They are almost starting to drive the market. I havecrecentlyvrecieved a new sportage HEV and I'll be honest I am completely blown away with the comfortand build quality.
Great review👍
I’ve had mine for a year now and 14,000 miles.
Its a stunning car, the performance never gets old, range is 250 miles summer and 200 winter, and with the fast charging the few times I’ve had to charge at a public charger are super quick, 10-15 minutes max to top up sufficiently to get home where it slow charges overnight at 8p/kWh.
In a year, not a single thing has gone wrong and the battery capacity is still 100%
I came across a Ferrari 812 Superfast the other day, the KIA easily matched its acceleration, that’s crazy (the Ferrari did sound good though👏)
My weekend car is a BAC Mono so I’m hard to please by the way!
It’s the ultimate ‘Q’ car really👏
Glad I ordered mine back in May 2021! Thanks for posting the best EV6 GT video of the day!
Impressive!
Also cool to see you on my home track! (I'm responsible for the half moon shaped motorcycle skid marks at 02:42 but it looks like my other ones have been overwritten by the Kias by now...😁)
Haha! Cool!
12:37 The guy in front of you hit the pole... nice
Poles have feelings too!
Well done Kia for having a proper event for a proper car!!! Gosh can't wait until its actually available.
Pedal spacing looks really comfy for left foot braking as well which is always a plus
Love the multi screen layout! You have done a good job with the design my friend
Thanks for the vid buddy! Awesome car! 3 months ago there was a 12 month lead time at least here in Sweden. Also 6-7 months ago I could get one for 720k SEK now the list is 819k. P2 Perf with pilot and plus pack is 780 ish and model 3 perf is 749. Also the P2 is the only one of the 3 that at the moment gets the 70000 sek (50000 after new year) bonus.
I have the P2 perf on order and a Model 3 perf. Ordered both before the price increases and the model 3 is here in 1-2 weeks time and the P2 I Nov. Still have not decided what to do ....
Arlanda test track, they have another layout as well fun tracks with the MX5 :)
I remember a video of you spotting prototype cars and the design of this caught my eye as a daily driver and was planning to ask santa for it (figurativelu speaking) ... I was kinda disappointed to read "EV" in the title but man it does loook really fun and when you get a chuckle at the wheel you know it can be a fun ride. Stocked for ring lap video from you in the future and with hopefully better brakes :D
Sure looks like a lot fun. Now I can start to understand why people still hold on to their year old preorders for the ev6 gt. Especially when you consider prices have gone up over 10.000 Euros in the last year.
Ive tried tracking my little Born twice now; I even upgraded brake fluids and got some cheap used non aero wheels and 235mm Pilot Sport 4s from a nearby Jeep dealer (apperantly lots of Jeep drivers where swapping their summer performance tyres for all season ones). Tire wear is pretty bad though; and of course everyone is overtaking me in high speed sections since it only does 160 km/h. Overall my little Cupra EV is already great fun, but also very slow compared to modern hot hatches. To me it still seems like the first company that can produce an EV sub 1,5 to with decent performance figues in a hatch or coupe shape should have lots of customers.
Pre-order pricing is not honoured / not locked in, so plenty are getting a rude shock
@@BennyStLeger As we are currently living with large global inflation this will unfortunately be the norm for all businesses in the short term. They can't affort a 10%+ hit for honoring pricing.
@@LeonardTavast you’d have to be insane buying a new car at the moment. Guess the saying “fools & their money are soon parted” holds water.
Hatches are coming. SUVs are the american car of choice so it makes sense to sell the vehicle that sells the best first.
Wow! What a fun car for a Kia! I think they did a good job. If you have the opportunity to drive it on the ring, please do, I am very curious how it handles. Drifting seemed difficult, because of the hot tires. In addition, it shows how sticky the tires are. Also, if an aftermarket suspension comes out for this car in a few years, how will it perform? I am very curious and excited!
Great video, glad to see Kia getting some praise...I have been impressed by their cars over the last several years! Love how much fun you were having!
Dude looks awesome. Kinda want to get this over the Tesla Model Y now
The build quality will be so much better, KIA & Hyundai are really nice these days, Rj in Oz
Comparing a Tesla to this is an insult to the EV6, they're not even in the same universe.
@@derbigpr500 Tesla is Tesla, owned by the world's richest person as well. Its different level to all of this
@@theweeknd2725 And yet offers the build quality of a Lada. How ironic.
@@Vincent_Stevens Thats insult to lada, 2101 has no flaws.
Loving your content, Misha. Very entertaining, and I’m loving the direction of Kia!
First off, WOW, I'm glad I'm subscribed on time, great content!
I have an assumption that brakes in EV can be relatively smaller if the recuperation responsiveness is high, two simultaneous separate brake mechanisms, coupled with great condensers with durable invertors. An electrical motor in itself is durable and simple AND recyclable. It's the feeding and phasing stuff that gives up the ghost easily and needs cool care.
This vid brought me into some RichardBurnsRally vibes, specially because I think that physics engine is capable of emulating this "handling model". Modders? What a car to import.
Sure, but not perfect on hard braking
Also, I think the problem with that is when you drive hard, the batteries get hot and don't allow high (or maybe even no) regen, and that is when you need the brakes the most.
Just heard mine is scheduled for delivery on 12th of December 😊
I wanted it at the time, but with over 500 hp it was not available, so it only became a 400 hp I-Pace, which also performs quite well on the Nordschleife 💪🏻😎
Almost dropped more "Wows" than Chili Klaus on this video. Love what Kia has become over the last years. Car seems like alot of fun!
This car and the Hyundai N Vision 74 are so important for the Korean car brands.
I'm a happy owner of an i20, which doesn't have anything sporty about it, but these new cars are very impressive - and I hope to see more of them.
N vision 74 is not even a real car it's just a concept lol so I wouldn't say it's very important since it probably will never even see production
Saw one of these on the road today, looks great!
The sound is actually really cool!
What a review. Funny and reliable review Thanks!
Amazing car!! Congratulations for the video!
this is how promotion should be done, this and top gear youtube channel taking the cross taycan on a rally stage are the only videos that have truly made me interested in an ev
Fun video on that closed course but I would really like to know how it handles on real roads. At least one reviewer thinks it has some issues with suspension and needs to be put in soft mode which then is not that different than the regular suspension on the GT Line. We need some more tests like that. Thanks.
I watched already few videos from this event, special the one from "Qualmedie", but I'm looking forward to see you driving this "Beast" on the Green Hell 🤗
Ses performances sont comparables à celles du Taycan, mais à un prix inférieur. La vitesse de charge est beaucoup plus rapide. kia incroyable.
I was behind one of these the other day and them back lights are great
I do like this car's performance and the looks are nice personally (I'm Korean so biased lol). However, the driver's dash has smooth animations for the throttle and power response, but the compass and speedo are terrible to look at when the rest of the display is smooth.
I love my KIA EV6 GT-Line. I saw the review and decided to get it, boy I was surprised on how good KIA & Hyundai did on the vehicle and on all their new vehicles.
When are you going to do a Nurburgring run with the KIA EV6?
Let's hope when "if" gets to US they don't cut the driving modes. That would be bad . GT mode sweet. Thanks Misha for a great review.
Very impressive for a fat SUV, and from kia!! Hope we can see it on the ring very soon.
I converted to EV aboute 6 years ago, never looking back. I now have my lightweight go-kart BMW i3s, its such a fun little car for around town and on twisty mountain b-roads.
really? I have had and driven various ev's and whilst they are awesome for getting you from a to b in a super relaxed manner, especially with single pedal driving, I would never describe any of them as go kart like, especially compared to some of the lightweight hot hatches and kit cars out there. I love ev's but they deffo ain't that fun if you want an involved go kart like experience!!
@@robertowen8281 I was talking about the i3S, one of the lightest EVs. Lighter cars are more fun to drive, more respinsive. The S version is like a m sport setup. Other / normal EVs are way to heavy and sluggish.
Kia n Hyundai have come a long way. this is actually a gud looking EV with gud performance. awesome Misha.
I'm a fan of EV6, but sadly it's just too big and heavy. Looking forward to when they bring out a smaller performance EV more similar to i30N size.
I'm sure they're coming!
I am hoping as well!
There is an EV4 coming. I don't know if it will have a GT version, though.
Buy a second hand one in a few years, maybe a GT
@@amperformance7998 if ioniq6 has N version, Kia would definitely make a performance version of each... well except for EV9 ofcourse, that's just a 3 row family SUV.
Nice going Misha, but you want to polish up on your drifting skills, because this is really going to save you in the event of a tail happy slide, uncontrollable, yet very controllable and satisfyingly so when you DO have control.
Also make sure to put gravity into account in a slope when it is down a slope or jumping over one.
Tires will obviously pick up grip in the bottom of a slope in a corner.
Calculate this one wrong and the wall will be the next thing you see🤣
The side profile is almond at identical to the Jag ipace which is a nice looking car. Impressive performance.
Everyone talking about how awesome....it is....but the sound it has been given... it's not obnoxious lol. It's quite cool...
Misha either i’m crazy or please tell me you don’t sound like Gru haha love the content man keep it up🙏💪
Geweldige video, ik zal al te wachten totdat jij aan de haal zou gaan. Ik heb er 1 in bestelling staan, sinds vorig jaar november, in het zwart. Mocht je niet in de mogelijkheid zijn om eerder op de ring te rijden met een GT, dan mag je die van mij misbruiken :) Nogmaals dank, en ik geniet elke dag van je video's! Keep up the good work !
Eerlijk gezegd denk ik dat het zal moeten gebeuren. 200 mensen moeten het verzoek eerst goedkeuren bij KIA voor ik één krijg.
@@mgcharoudin Ik zal gelijk contact met je opnemen als hij geleverd is, dat beloof ik je (als ik wel naast je mag zitten ;) )
@@niels4655 super, graag!!
@@mgcharoudin jammer, ik wacht ook op mijn EV6 GT, noch 12,5 Maanden wachten als het goed is. en ja 75K voor aftrek laat noch steeds 56K ex btw over, Denk niet dar ik m ooit voor trackrijden zal gebruiken, maar toch wel regelmatig op de auobahn ben. En natuurlijk bij een stoplichtje hier en daar ...
Man the drift mode activation looks more complicated like ordering that thing ;)
Nice car it looks cool and the little details are really cool as well (damn that door handles :)
I remember my uncles first kia sportage back then in the 90’s :D
Never thought I'd see Misha having this much fun in a Kia lol
the east is the new west - finally excellent nice one M
Damn this looks nice and it's fun to drive
Extra points for physical AC button
The drag racing seem like good fun!
Love the sound of the motor
Wasn't expecting Kia did a cool awesome electric car, that's amazing!!!
Respect for this Kia and other options! Still a fan of the original and ultimate best in the class, the Tesla Model 3 Performance. 162 mph top speed, Track mode, quicker than the Polestar 2 stock and Supercharger network. Love all these other options, but still shocked to see the Model 3 still tops the list
Great review of this car!
"I know myself...and I will end up putting this into a tree..." LMAO love it!
At 9:36...dude in the white car is drifting 100m into the course...that's awesome
How is the handling compared to polestar 2 performance? And how is the ride comfort on normal Daily driving compared to the p2 performance? Thanks in advance
With my big petrolhead soul I don´t enjoy any test videos with electric car, but watching you in this EV6 is quite enjoyable :D Still seems to be very heavy, but if there is fun, then no problem :)
6:33 glad for the physical dials on the temp but def would appreciate physical buttons for all the hvac controls :/
super cool car tho !
How would you compare this with Model Y Performance (if it had track mode....)?
Misha will you try an Alfa Romeo Giulia QV or GTAm? I'm so curious about your opinion because you are a BMW driver. You will be impressed by the steering wheel reaction and handling that is better than the competitors. Would be very interesting to see in this channel
I'd try anything, just need to get one handed to me.
I'd love this powertrain in the Stinger body
Kia and Hyundai invested in Rimac so it is expected that in that car is something different
I can’t wait to see what the sonata N will look like
I want one...
...and see one on Ring as well! :KIA:
Imagine all that power on a vehicle that doesnt weight like a SUV
That track looks insane 🤯
Great car, great driving, great video!
I just went in one of these today, amazing car! The local dealer got 2 ones in black available for purchase. 771K in Swedish krona.
A little stiff price for me but it was a fun drive and cool they got the car on their premiere opening of the store. They were sold within the hour. 💪🏻
Are you sure it were GT’s and not GT-Lines (325hp)?
The production hasn’t started yet (all the cars in this video were preproduction cars), and it’s not expected that any private person will be getting a GT before Q4 this year.
😊
17:13 Autogefühl 🤣I also follow that channel. 😅
Cant wait to see it on the nordschleife
can"t wait for a iioniq5 N
Excellent bro
Have the Elantra N 6 speed pretty nice car really surprised
I saw the nose of that new Kia and immediately thought it looked like a VW Scirocco R and I love it. Granted, I think the Scirocco R is one of the best looking hatches made in the past 20 years.
Cool video 👍🏻
You can’t pre-order one in Germany since end of January 2022. Newsletter just came in. New price sometime in September and hopefully can then be ordered again at a later time. First deliveries for pre-orders supposedly start in winter 2022.
Feck
@@mgcharoudin nobody ever said live was easy 😩
Would love to see what you think of the Ionic 5N.
I know some people might hate me for this but I think it looks absolutely beautiful.
Wow what an exciting platform.
I saw the new KIA EV show car in the nearby shopping mall, that was good looking and I cannot recognize the badge .
Does the Regen not do enough to compensate for the lack of brake power?
If you increase the regen to max you will have to use the brakes much less agressively which gives gives you much more braking power when needed rather relying on the brakes alone
Cool video. Do you like the handling better than a model3?
Yes
17:13 Mr. Autogefühl!!! Ahahah :-)
The range drops so quick🤣🤣
Make it happen, take it to the Ring!
That is awesome, I want one.
The car moves just like the car in the game!
this cars look is a wild mix of lamborghini urus, toyota corolla and ch-r and surely a nice touch of KIA
