This was by FAR your best video in a long time. Please cover more different types of fast cars and trucks ❤❤❤
I really appreciate the open minded aspect. We’re just getting into the world of evs. They will only improve. And most people haven’t even driven them and just hate them instantly.
They hate them until they drive them…..that’s what happened to me.
For a Kia I actually like the looks of it, way better looking than the teslas. But I would never trade in my Hellcat for it. 👍🇺🇸
You said everything just perfect, You definitely isn't going to beat the performance and price 👍
Still not an EV fan but this thing it pretty cool. Kia is killing it. While other brands are piling on the lots Kia is one of the few that is selling everything they can build.
since driving an EV, i cannot go back to ICE tbh
I'll race you from New York to California in my scat pack and I won't even be close. It won't matter how much power the Kia has I'll be there 2 days before you are.
Lmao what happens more frequently… a race on the street?, a race at the drag strip? Or a race across country
Hyundai Kia announced they are evaluating adopting the NACS charging standard established by Tesla. Their main concern was whether the Tesla stations would easily handle their 800V charging. It seems inevitable to me so eventually range charge anxiety will become a non issue, even if it doesn't help any models for the next year and a half to two years.
The inevitably is based on the fact that Ford, GM, and Rivian have all declared they're going to adopt NACS.
The Tesla Cybertruck and the Tesla Semi will have to support 1000V charging. It's just a matter of upgrading their charging network to V4 or Mega Chargers
When a Kia is able to charge quickly anywhere, you'll have a race. Nobody is covering that distance in a single straight shot without rest
... this is a golden time we are living in!... back in the muscle car days, a ride in the 14s was respectable, in the 13s was fast and in the 12s ruled the streets!...& those latter rides were loud, rode like a truck, handled like a boat and sucked gas like a siphon...choices are great!..😊
Thanks for a great review😊. I received mine (black) two weeks ago after waiting 14 months for it. Couldn’t be happier💙💙
What 99% of people don't know about the EV6 GT, in the center navigation in the split screen section there is a Max output feature that will give you the full 576 HP. Otherwise you're only getting about 500 HP. My current best 0 to 60 is 3.0 sec.
Split screen settings I use it once and you are right I got 3.2 to 60 on a non prep surface
I know it’s there… and I once tried to activate it months ago, but due to cold weather, it never hit the optimal temperature, and I abandoned the setting after approximately 40 minutes without reaching the optimal temperature.
Now that we got much warmer weather, I often tell myself to remember to try it out on the few occasions I charge the car to 100%, because it shouldn’t take much more than 5 - 10 minutes… but the car is so quick in itself that I kind of forget it, and still haven’t enabled the feature after 5 months of ownership… 😬🫣😊
@@andersteilmann8005 I was trying to to you about earlier this year. Give it another try after you charge 100% . It took 10% of my soc
@@bigdi77👍😊 I actually did it yesterday after I typed the response above. 😃
The car was at 91% SOC, and the weather was 25 degrees Celsius… so I just started the car and engaged the Maximum Power Output mode while the car was sitting in the driveway.
Took about 15 minutes, and then the car was at its peak temperature with 89% or 88% SOC.
I could definitely feel a difference, and I saw that the peak output went up from around 370kW to a little above 430Kw in the infotainment during full acceleration. 👍
Wow… this car doesn’t stop to impress! 🤘😃🤘
😊
*Only* 500hp?
I see nothing wrong with this, y’all need to chill. Looks dope to me.
It's a fancy new phone it'll be irrelevant
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks that’s a pretty fair way to critique it, but I think it’s a bit more interesting than that.
@JeremyAndersonBoise what Kia product do you remember from 5-10+ years ago. This whole early adoption of EV doesn't end well battery technology is always evolving. Maybe a $1200 note on Kia golf cart is for you though I'm not that customer. I'd love go for a ride in one though 🙂
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks I mean, I drive a Challenger SP, but this seems like fun for an EV and at least it isn’t a Tesla. The new Kias seem pretty legit, companies can improve. Hyundai been slaying lately, in my opinion, so I would give Kia the benefit of being interested if not a customer per se.
@JeremyAndersonBoise oh yeah Koreans doing big things especially filling the car market everyone else left. The N products by Hyundai are the best bang for buck if driving enjoyment is priority. It's impressive but I'd hang on to your SP forever unless hellcat. I miss my mine then prices soared so high after covid
Loved you video. Had a EV6 GT when they first came out. Had some issues with it and ended up with a Stinger. After watching your video made me take a second look. Bought an EV6 GT from Courtesy Kia. I told my sales guy that you need to get a kick back, lol. Got an amazing deal!! 5k under sticker no markups. Just how I like it. Great addition to my garage of Mopars (Charger Redeye & Magnum SRT 8). Thanks for the video!!!
Audi RS3 for exact same price, same performance and I'd feel a lot better dropping that coin on an Audi than on a Kia, RacerX! 🙂
ruclips.net/video/LSeAXqcz0H8/видео.html
It’ll toast an rs3 in a straight line, at least.
e-tron?
EV6 GT is about $60k OTD. Where can I buy a new RS3 for that price? Serious question.
ruclips.net/video/LSeAXqcz0H8/видео.html EV6 crushes the Audi RS3
The Tesla Model 3 Performance starts at just under $54k and does 0-60 in 3.1 seconds but other than that I can’t find anything else that fast in that price range. I built a Model 3 Performance with Enhanced Autopilot online and it raised the price to just under $61k.
GT beats it in real life - roll out phooey - if it's 0-60 you gotta start at 0... lol - but of course they're BOTH amazing cars 👍👍
@@mikeymoolane6026 how do you know Kia isn’t using a roll out also. That seems to be the standard way to measure now.
Tesla invented roll out, and Kia understands that 0 means Zero? Well really I have watched dozens and dozens of you tube launches whilst waiting 18 months for the car. Many using separate timing gadgets. The journos made the point about roll out 😎 Until recently my son was a Tesla technician over here, driving around fixing cars all day…. so I heard a few stories …..
@@mikeymoolane6026 Car & Driver used “roll out” before anyone and that’s because on a racetrack “roll out” is incorporated in ETs.
Drag vids on YT show otherwise.@@mikeymoolane6026
I have one and appreciate your review and opinion! After looking at all my options for around $60K because of what you said about dollar to performance I got the EV6GT and it is 100% true. Also, it is much bigger than it looks and the back seat room especially leg room is crazy, so it is a practical vehicle as well.
FWIW using a Dragy my Durango Hellcat stock has done 3.4 0-60 which is 3.2 with rollout subtracted (like the magazines like to post). The upside to the EV is that it will just repeat it's times over and over again without any effort whereas launching other vehicles requires some knowledge and skill to get best times.
I wonder how many launches you can do without the battery getting too hot or if kia sets a limit to maybe 2 or 3 before it gets too hot.
Bought my hellcat challenger for 56k spent 3k for 2.85 pulley injectors install and tune. Making 800 wheel. Lol I’ll take it all day over a Kia 😂
@@isorides the tech has matured pretty rapidly.. there is performance loss as the battery depletes but I suspect it can do launches over and over again with no problem.
@@SRTGHOSTSgotta love those old prices before covid
another 50k in gas tho. :/@@SRTGHOSTS
I’m a performance enthusiast, in my garage I have a Honda NSX, Porsche 997 and a BAC Mono. My daily driver is…a KIA EV6 GT. It absolutely rocks! It feels pretty much as fast to 60 as the Mono and it’s really fun to drive😂
(I even took it to Brands Hatch for a trackday when it rained and I didn’t want to drive the Mono!)
Im a fan of KIAs new stuff the past few years. I was very close to buying a Stinger twin turbo. But I bought a Tesla Model 3 Performance which starts at just under $54k and with the 7.5k tax credit it dops price to $46.5k, does 0-60 in 3.1 seconds and the range is 315. You can adjust the regenerative braking level with the Tesla to control how fast it slows down.
Not sure if you’ll remember me but I caught you at the hibachi restaurant when you were still in Texas. I’ve sold Kia’s for 3 years now and I appreciate you making a pretty cool video about our cars
What’s it’s expected service life? How heavy is it? Battery lifespan and replacement cost? Fast is fun till it breaks, and if it breaks the bank to fix, is it still fun? What doesn’t the warranty cover?
Absolutely agree
This is what I've been trying to explain the people wait until the warranty is up are you going to swap for a new battery
😆They'll say 🍀 s*** happens 😎✌️
@@obertosiciliano1243 Battery warranty is 8 years on any EV. Taken care of right they will last much longer. Just like an engine you abuse it and it isn't going to last. You also have to factor in saved charging vs fuel cost, EV's take far less maintenance cost etc. I think in time they will start winning people over. There is going to be some teething pains though.
@@obertosiciliano1243 I was told by KIA Dealer ENTIRE care is warranted for TEN YEARS/K miles!
My wife and I owned a non-GT version, and I assure you it was a ROCKET! We traded up to a C8 Vette. The infrastructure was not feasible for our traveling habits. Outside of that, it is an amazing car.👌🏽

Also, while EV’s are typically not terribly reliable this one is rated higher than any other EV. Consumer Reports has it as very reliable.
I don’t understand how they come up with reliability ratings on new vehicles. Logic says you need to wait and see how it actually does in the real world first.🤷🏻♂️
EV are not reliable ? 😅
@@nathansummerville3972they do that with all vehicles
@@nathansummerville3972 Would certainly only cover about the year it had been out. I think it’s pretty nifty. But, EV/$60k. Nah.
@@sylvainbiensur7370 Most of the ratings I see are showing in general they are typically not very reliable. This is one of the few exceptions.
Hmm... If I have to eventually pick an EV, I want to see what Dodge manages to crank out! That said, there's no denying that this KIA is a killer on the streets! If this KIA is crazy, then I bet an EV performance Mopar is going to be Ludacris! Great review, Racer X!
Great review and information, thanks!
Oh no, I love this thing. That color too
X, you're killing me.
Dang bro. Kia needs to feature you and pay you some big bucks. Great honest review!
From my understanding both Hyundai and Kia are making pretty decent EV's with some minor teething pains. While I am a Mopar person I am not opposed to seeing what other companies are producing. I have faith when the Stellantis EV's start hitting the U.S they will be pretty good. They are already building something like 19 different EV's in overseas markets and sales have been strong.
I sold my C7 Vette and bought an EV6 GT. It's quicker than the Vette. Has a back seat. Has cargo space. Also it's much more comfortable, and very good on snow and ice.
Edmunds raced this car against an 807 hp Black Ghost and this Kia annihilated it.
I get over 250 miles range from my GT.... guys heard of WTLP ? They're the Official car range test regulator in Europe and most of the world ! WTLP official range is 263 miles... - wonder who pays for the EPA ?(⛽️ ?)
Fun fact - you can set it to hundreds of different ambient light colors, or set it to change color according to which drive mode you're in, so SPORT gives you bright RED ambient etc....
I’ve had a model 3 performance, my fiancé has a VW Id.4 and I now drive a bronco Wildtrak. But the best car performance wise I’ve ever had was a Kia stinger gt2. If Kia went electric with that I would buy one in a heartbeat. It’s so cheap to mod but it can be turned into a BEAST! And the inside gives luxury vibes. Kia has came a long way
I went to the local Kia Dealer and the salesman sat me in the car and explained everything to me, but the one thing I don;t get, is why does KIA charge you extra for the CHARGing cords! The salesman told my that KIA does not include the charge cords, and you have to pay extra for them. The car is a fantastic designed vehicle! The Dealer said the ENTIRE car is Warranted for 100,00 thousand miles/TEN years! The Dealer had several EV-6's on the lot to pick from.
You don't need a charging cord, in the US at least. All public chargers, and home chargers have one.
I would take it💯
Awesome content buddy 👍💪
Pretty neat. Do like the interior setup and ambient lighting. Never been in an electric. Like to see you review the hydrogen Toyota when that appears.
I really enjoy the power of electric vehicles! Although ill have to be forced to buy one… we need more uploads sir. 👊
A Kia with no Kia internal combustion engine? Most reliable Kia
The kia boys gonna love this!
They forgot to design the rear end of it.
Nice power 🔋 though. 🌩🌧
If they would of put that much power in the stinger it would of sold way better
Would have but let's look to the future. Bright and shiny. Full of promise. Room to get even better.
That car looks bad ass to me. I would love to have that, I might consider trading my Tesla for that if it had self driving like my Tesla, it’s hard to beat that self driving, but great video!
Great review RacerX! Too expensive for me. Especially considering the 200 mile range limitation. I drive an average of 12 to 15 thousand miles a year, including monthly out of state weekend getaways with my wife and 3 to 4 family vacations a year. The big concern for me is range charging time, and availability of charging stations when I'm traveling.

I drive 12k a year and I have this car and charge at home so I don’t have a problem but I charge at home and I am getting 251 miles of range on 100% soc in spring and summer so far
In the summer in the UK, I am getting nearer 250-260 miles range
From the Hami Soul Thank you for doing an awesome review on a Kia!
Bro, last week I had to take my Tahoe in for service and they gave me a 2019 Kia Stinger to drive. I had it for a week and me and my wife was ready to trade in our Tahoe in for the Stinger, omg that car is ridiculous. It a fun little car to drive and if I didnt have a 2019 procharged Mustang Gt pushing 780 rwhp, I would've probably bought the Stinger
No sarcasm, this was the best ev6 commercial.
🏆Racer X 🏆🍀😎✌️
Great review..👍🏻😎🇺🇸
The performance of the EV6 however is epic!
'Hyundai', rimes with 'Sunday'. That was the slogan when Hyundai was introduced!
So many people still mispronounce it.
Yeah. I would've made the same mistake until I dated a Korean girl.
I don't remember the rhyme slogan though
nice, now I wonder if they'll make something similar to the Ionic 6
Performance EVs kick ass
I heard somewhere that KIA is the new DODGE
You think they're going to get bought out by Italians? I don't think so.😉
i'd sure like to try out that GT mode! 🙂
Love this car. Wife had a Niro plug in. 2 years ago the dealership promised me the EV6 at MSRP. Fast forward now they wanted +10K ADM. Dude, for a KIA GTFO. I would get one in red at MSRP as a DD. Not paying a dime over sticker tho. Was the one you test drove marked up? Most are.
Ill race it 500 miles at Daytona with a Prius and win.
How about a 24 hour Le Mans?
Looks nice. These kind of cars are the ones that should be electric or hybrid keep the top of the line gassers
Tesla changes their prices all the time but a few months ago the model y performance suv/crossover was around 65 or less and does 3.5 0-60.
That’s actually kinda nice!!
looks sharp
Bro..... its electric and a kia.
When are going back to racing?
Did you sell the mustang?
I haven’t sold it yet but soon! I will be racing my new car when it comes in 👍
I couldn’t trade my HEMI for an EV no way, speed is nice but my challenger just offers so much more, look,sounds,feel,power, just an amazing machine. Great review though, great work.
$6/gal inbound.
@@foam27 means nothing to me, it’s a weekend car, worth every penny.
@@johnh.9127until you get smoked by an EV6 GT at the light with your GF or wife sitting next to you and they ask, what that a Kia?

Have any quarter mile times and trap speeds been published?
11.2 and 119mph
If you have a draggy it’s up there also 3.2 to 60 1/4 in 11.2
I see GTs at $53k ($10k discount)......and used GT-lines are already at $40k lol. Its nuts that just a year ago people paid $10-20k over MSRP on them.....lost $30-40k on a Kia in 1 year.....nuts😂
Should not have paid markup on a Kia (or any car whatsoever) in the 1st place🫡
Gt if you lease it you get 7500 off but if you buy it it’s still 63k and use gt lines are still going for 52k depending on mileage but that’s any car mileage is king
30 days before i get mine after 13 months waiting .....
The exterior is nice.
The interior not so much.
Good power. Limited range.
But...
It's still an EV. Absolutely zero swagger. I'll take a losing Hellcat over a winning KIA any day!

Tesla 3 performance is just about as quick for less money. This runs a little faster mph in the 1/4 and also seems to be the nicer car
What about that green charger in the background? Lol
For 63k I’ll get a corvette
Consider the hybrid one though. Even GM will eventually have an all electric Sting Ray Devil
@@SpaceCaseZ06 fuck that
You can tell RacerX loves EVs, but he’s careful not to alienate his petrol-head audience.
I don't love EV's perse .. I am willing to give anything a chance if it's fast and fun to drive. It's the same with brands. I love Dodge but I also love other brands and well so I try to stay objective when doing these reviews
@@RacerX9good for you👏people need to be open minded like this. Of course EVs have downsides but they also have considerable advantages. For me as a daily driver my EV6 GT is way better than my Porsche. I still love the 997 for Sunday morning drives in the country, they each have their place.
Cool vehicle, would never buy one. No doubt its fast. Its about the driving experience for me, and EV's dont do it for me. Ive driven my friends Plaid, and the experience isnt there. Acceleration isnt the only thing that matters.
What was missing? A lot of other people have expressed reluctance often it boiled down to being afraid their neighbors would give them shade for not staying true to the traditional archetype of what was fast or cool. Some of that was fear of being outcast and fear of being the first and subject to maximum scrutiny
Dam starting to convince me 😂😂👏
Drives really fast.......charges really slow.
My understanding is it's one of the systems that uses 800V for faster charging. If Tesla confirms they're be able to get that voltage or higher like their 1000V Cybertruck and throughout their network, Hyundai Kia is more than likely to switch charging standards. At that rate it could make sense for them to also adopt 1000V and/or solid state
It charges 10%-80% in 18 minutes. Really I’ve checked with my car and it really is that fast 👍
I have to say, I don’t want an EV, but that really is nice looking… but for 63k it is syill a KIA. Also, a 200 mile range (probably even less) is abysmal, no roadtrips in that.😧
“Still” a KIA

That's one fast golf cart. Dark days are ahead for us. We have to vote the climate crazies out. Did you know that in 14 states as of now if you want a Jeep Wrangler all you can buy is the 4xE. No 392, 3.6 or 2.0 turbo. Can you guess which states they are?
Are they not offering them or they just dont have the inventory?
@@isorides these 14 states have adopted the same new emissions tandards as California. These new emissions standards just went into effect so these Jeep wranglers will not pass emissions in these states now. Only the 4xE. Saw this on a RUclips video 2days ago. It can also be found on Google. This is not good news for car enthusiasts in these states as other automakers will have to fall in line. Though the Jeep wranglers are the only vehicles that I have found that are affected by this so far.

EV’s don’t respond to atmospheric conditions at all? Do you not have a smart phone? Of course you do. They don’t like the heat, nor sub zero degrees. Coincidence? Absolutely. Why? The lithium batteries. The best part of these ones is performance doesn’t drop off as the batteries reduce charge like the Teslas do. Not exactly sure how Kia have achieved this as newton’s law means they should. The Kia can still achieve max acceleration with only 20% charge. A Tesla model 3 simply can’t when the batteries drop below 70%. As a previous owner of the model 3 performance and a current owner of the EV6 GT, apart from the straight line performance, this beast also battles its way as a more driver focused car instead of Bryan iPad with wheels like the model 3.
You should start a second channel and call it "Racer EV". Good video but I'm not a fan of EVs especially if you travel in rural areas. I would say 99% of the subscribers to this channel prefer gas powered engines.
The tide is changing fast.
Still a diminishing number will cling to the old for longer than they can explain and until they can't remember reasons but start to regret
so how much are they in canada
And after 100,000 miles it’ll all fall apart know thanks

Why is that? Because I did a review of an EV?
@@RacerX9 I was just kidding man. I really enjoyed the video and all the insight.
This should have been the Hornet
I agree that your test vehicle is sharp looking. The issue is since it's a performance EV. The Range is an extremely low 209 miles vs most performance EVs from Ford like the Mustang Mach E and Tesla. To me that range isn't long enough for a family vehicle. Consider driving from Washington DC to Davenport Florida which I actually do for business at least once monthly stopping in South Carolina. During those 848+ miles. I'm estimating you'll need to make a minimum 6 stops or around 3 hours to recharge. Speed is fun, but Sometimes speed isn't the top reason for purchasing an EV. Like it's sister company Hyundai. The top line models include a lot of technology. I'm still not a fan of spending $60,000+ for an EV with such a limited range. I would go with the Ice Stinger GT2 before they're discontinued later this year with a price similar to your test vehicle.
The screens are too bright. That would be blinding to me at night. They need a dark mode.
They have dark mode
There are only two issues that would keep me from switching over to something like this (and I drive a 523hp BMW M550i x-drive). Disclaimer: I don't care about waking up the neighborhood with my boy toy exhaust system. Your noisy engine doesn't impress anyone...show me your tail lights...that's performance. First off, the range is terrible...200 miles, get real. Get it over 300, or 400 miles and then we'll talk. And secondly, and this has come up in other reviews of this vehicle, the controls that toggle the climate are ridiculous...go watch other reviews for the details.
I thought we'd soon be done with the days of obnoxious loud drivers. Sadly, they have people who remove catalytic converters and mufflers for performance and then throttle up through neighborhood streets at night with their radios blasting and their windows down
Excellent video RacerX. The KIA EV6 GT will be my next car…after the Demon 170!!! 😮
I will wait two years and pick it up for 30k
Not sure if EVs depreciate that way
They do
Loom at current prices on all used evs 😂😂😂
Turns out it's more due to the competition from Tesla and Tesla's ability to offer deep discounts because they've scaled and reduced production cost more than it is because direct depreciation of Kia's product
They do look sweet. I have seen a couple in my area. They are fast but still not ready for a EV.
I wasn't either. Now, I'd never go back 🤷♂️
I can and will ignore what this vehicle is. A soulless korean-made toy.
Until it's stolen. As a previous owner of a KIA they are SLOW to respond to major issues that put the owners on the hook for repairs. Besides that, the newer designs and concepts are nice and improved. But I will never buy another.
Sheeeesh🔥🔥🔥
Warranty doesn't mean a thing if Kia won't back it. I owned a 2011 optima that blew 2 turbos within 100k miles. Also a 2015 Hyundai sonata that ate 2+ qts of oil per 1200 miles. Warranty for both was useless. Never again.
That’s no good my friend.. sorry to hear that
comparing an electric cars speed to what we previously had isn't very good.
Manufactures can very easily can make an electric car have a bunch of power and torque. Probably all new electric cars will have over 400, because its just that easy to do
We will see if its still on the road when its paid for.
Let me see you had 2 dodges You got rid of both of those and then you got a Mustang And now you're gonna Get Rid of that Are you getting electric car now? Just kidding. But I did read all the comments you might want to start reading a room a little bit better My brother has a plaid and he likes my hellcat better And so do I
I wonder how long before we see old men sitting in front of their garages wondering why nobody pays attention to them or their ICE cars anymore
If you drive something like this somewhat aggressively often good luck with the cycle life of the cells. People that don’t recognize this are beyond naive. Do some research.
can get a model 3 performance for 8000 to 10000 less and it smokes the kia and has a way better charging network plus that ev 6 will be discountinued in a year or 2 , plus 200 mile range really

The inevitability is based on the fact that Ford, GM, and Rivian have all declared they're going to adopt NACS.
The Tesla Cybertruck and the Tesla Semi will have to support 1000V charging. It's just a matter of upgrading their charging network to V4 or Mega Chargers
No it won’t 0 to 60 3.1 m3 for gt3.2 that is not smoking and one is a suv and the other is a small saden. I noticed you are always on kia videos trolling
i can't get a Stinger because Kia wasted money on this sorry ass wind-up car?!
just came here to say you already lost me with that rediculous video title.
There’s nothing ridiculous about the title! Literally nothing remotely untrue about what I said. If you don’t like EVs that’s your prerogative but you can’t deny performance per dollar! Thanks for the comment anyway
200mi, no road trips
Your extended trips are valid concerns
