This isn't an SUV in my opinion, it is too low to the ground. This looks more love a 4 door hatchback.
Agreed
Agreed just can't wait for EV to be officially legalized in Africa
What a fun review! Thanks for keeping it interesting!
Betcha KIA corporate says one EV6 is just like another EV6, available power makes no difference. It's the marketing department that pushed for the "GT" name despite knowing that no visual distinctions exist between GT and non-GT. All KIA's cost cutting tricks were used to keep the sticker price from going even higher! Thank you, Miles, for braving the endless winter storm weather to give us all a POV Drive Review - umbrella not included.
Interesting! I wouldn’t be surprised if at least some of that was true. I’m glad this GT model exists 😊
I personally like that it doesn't scream "600hp rocketship"
The gt has a different motor
So interesting videos always
That's nuts in the rain! I hope the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4's I am putting on mine hook up as well.
I dig the word of the day for the driving experience. I don’t remember it in some of the other videos
I’m glad you like it! It’s been something I’ve been doing for a couple months now. I don’t do it for First Drives 👍
To think it grips in rain even with summer tires are a step away from slicks is impressive.
I take this over Tesla models ! Iam in The Automotive industry! People are trading in Tesla for Kia & Hyundai Electric & Other Hybrids & ICE Powered Vehicles
Now this is a nice Kia
Do a review of openpilot, it works with this car!!
Hey Miles, nice video on the Kia EV6 GT. I hope you’re staying safe and dry from these California storms. I live in the Bay Area and it’s just as bad 🙏🏼
Thank you! Stay safe
Really enjoyed your review and love this car. It feels like Kia consciously decided driver engagement was important. While other cars are putting displays in the centre and aiming to put the driver out of a job, so to speak, I love the fact they put flappy paddles on this to control the regen - that creates driver engagement if you want to have fun.
What range could be squeezed out of it in eco mode? That’s the big question. A TV show here in the U.K. seemed to imply you could get 250 miles with careful eco driving.
Well said - this felt like much more than an "A to B" vehicle. However, I would be shocked if you could eek 250 miles out of the GT, even with ultra-conservative driving. Driving fun was clearly the focus over efficiency
Obviously, this is super late in regards to when you left this comment, but I've been DD'ing my 2023 EV6 GT for a few months now and 250 miles on a single charge is absolutely possible if you can stick to under 75 MPH and leave the regen breaking in level 2 or auto.
I own this car for about a week my range is 220 in normal mode. Back roads and some highway
Actual range tested by C&D for the EV6 GT at 75mph was 190mi. For the MYP, 230mi. The EV6 GT comes very very close to hitting EPA range. The Tesla, way far from it.
My actual range on my EV6GT is around 230 miles in mixed driving. I am using the AC and making an effort to drive economically. I bought this car to both daily and rip on. It serves my purposes perfectly.
so even on eco, range still takes a hit.. i was hoping it would be like the regular AWD version unless you go GT mode. it will be probably like 180 mi if u keep using GT. Best I can do for 100% on AWD with this CA rainy cold weather was still 270. 290 during summer.
Honestly it seems impossible to get a straight picture on this. Like you, I expected eco mode to have much bigger range. And indeed the car was recently reviewed in the U.K. by the show Fifth Gear (1000 mile trip across Norway) and they seemed to suggest it was getting nearer 250. With I could get a straight answer.
Change the rims to 19s I bet 230 is easy to get in normal mode. I am getting 290 right now in gt line in eco mode winter driving back roads and light highway
At first door opening I immediately thought “Audi doors and Elantra N seats??”
This thing is so awesome!
Yeah, the launch was a bit Pessimistic cause of the conditions, what makes me say that, the rain, I'm not trying to be enthusiastic
Why aren’t you getting the side camera view in the instrument cluster when you signal for a turn?
It's probably just turned off.
A little bit less gloss black in and outside the car would be nice, for my taste.
Agreed
can’t believe it has 576 hp
Why?
If I don't hear car hitting that red line while drifting, I won't ever think that I am drifting.
So uhh.. that an EG6 But upgraded?
The quality of a lot of the interior materials is still too low for any car at this price. There has to be a point where the price needs to visually be justified, not just with what's going on underneath.
I had see along years, better interior materials ended with bad shape and noises, compared with 'suposed' low quality materials, which were better fitted ans build.
This is a fact that many people doens't seem to aknowlegde. Wonder why.
No not really
why are the brake cailipers green? ...it should be black to match all colours
Too be Different! It's A Electric car ! I like it different! I have driven Tesla ! I take This KIA & Hyundai Ionic 5 & 6 over Tesla
Lambo is green. WRX STi is green. Now EV6 GT is green.
Hi! Miles Hyundai & Kia Genesis Have Hired a Lot of Ex Audi BMW Lamborghini & Porsche & Toyota Engineers & Designers to Their Company! Hyundai Heavy Industries Makes their Own Steel ! Cost savings passed on to Customers on All Vehicles! Smart what they have Accomplished
if it is used incorrectly and when the battery is charged, the car can explode because of the battery, it is like a bomb when it explodes, it needs to be studied carefully, the work of electric is not perfect yet
It´s not bad, i like it.
@@mahmuttura2335 i would also not buy it.
I love mine. 😊
Awesome
For performance and price , this EV6 GT need bigger battery. Under 200miles is crazy
It’s 206, but I agree the range is a pain point
Soooo more weight?
No thanks.
This would make an awesome daily driver but nothing can replace a 6 speed gearbox as a fun car.
I disagree. I've had manual transmissions my whole life, including my last car a 2019 5.0 manual. The Kia destroys it. It's more subtle, but I dont need to be loud to have fun. I'm not a Harley Davidson kinda guy.
Having a manual is just more engaging if anything. You get more control of your vechicle but that's bout it. My first car was a manual. To me having fun is about how your car handles on the curves and straightaways. If it doesn't have an LSD for example or some sort of torque vectoring AWD then I ain't trying to take it on the curvy back roads.
KIA all day. Forgot to mention, the best equipment and called medium quality camera to the one of the best of market was a bad review.
If you want to excuse with the weather, at least say so.
It's fine during the day, but pretty terrible resolution at night
3.8 in the rain I bet it can hit 3.2 on dry roads
Wouldn’t be surprised!
No ventilated seats huh? Taking cues from Tesla I see...
0:30 the GT has lots of design changes from the regular model tho 😢
Not really. Green calipers, different wheels, and a restyled diffuser portion. That's it
@@MilesPerHr front lower bumper corners are different, also the front grills are different.
@@MilesPerHr Also the rear wing over the rear window has more downforce generated with subtle changes.
Back button markers as well. Subtle changes visually. I do wish it was more aggressive looking but at the same time I don't want it to be over styled like the 5N. That stands out way too much for my needs. This is a killer sleeper imo.
It's a hatchback. Hatchback isn't a dirty word.
Using SUV sales that's why but yes this is a large hatchback or wagon if anything.
So EV6 does not lack personality as Tesla Model Y? What is the difference?
Steering, shape, interior design.
12:00 zero drama to it. I will never buy electric until I’m mandated to
Never though asian cars would be right behind German cars when it comes to technology and luxury.
wanna go faster? Set the regen lever to zero. set drift mode on (pull levers to you). Now straight line it! Thank me later!
Miles would you buy one??!!🤔
I’m more interested in a Toyota 86-equivalent EV whenever that comes out!
The color is chartreuse
I still don’t understand why they don’t just put solar panels on electric cars lol well, no logical understanding anyways. Just greed
Because you'd need 14 solar panels and an inverter to make 7kw charger. A standard 400w in peak sunshine would take a month to charge the car assuming 12hrs per day.
mach e gt? Only 200km/h top speed.
MYP? Rides hard like a stone.
Winner? ev6gt
For $62k you don’t get a whole lot
It is the fastest new car you can buy for under 100 thousand us dollars.
electric cars are dangerous, they light up, the doors are blocked and that's it.
yeah but it's a kia
And???
@@pofrof4910 we have a Kia franchise in our dealer complex where I work. Kia's are piles dude. Good from a far but far from good. I could tell you some stories. Same story with Hyundai which we also have
Even better that its a kia
Hahaha such bull. Their quality is superior to American made any time.
They give 7yr warranty too.
Yeah you need it lol
More electric and Ay-Eye garbage. 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮. My next car will be a 2020 M240i with a B58.
Fun car, but this is an SUV, and would absolutely crush the BMW at the stoplight. Most of us buy EV's because nothing touches the acceleration, and they save tons of money.
@@UnobtaniumsQuickReviews When the Solar Maximum unleashes an X-class flare storm in the year 2025 and it hits the Earth, all of that will be insignificant. Also, Elon is evil. You can trust him and that technology all you want. Research his Neuralink brain ch*p program. It will be connected to his Starlink satellites. Humans are putting far too much faith in Ay-Eye and electronics.
