Pulling the left regen pedal does speed down my Hyundai Ioniq 5 2022. Is it new to Kia maybe?

If anyone had told me, ten years ago "in 2024 you'll drive a Lexus but will be lusting HARD after the stuff Kia and Hyundai are producing", I would have been like "who are you and how did you get in my house?"

Been driving the EV6 now for three years and must say, this is a GOOD car! every day driving is a joy and long trips too, never let me down. I like the old front light more than these, and since im buying something else now, I think its going to be a N5. But again, loved my time in the EV6, well done KIA.

I liked the front lights on the old version much better.

I really enjoy my kia 2022 ev6 gt-line. Its quick, its a beauty, and it handles really well. Lots of space for the whole family. KIa, you have really nailed it !!

You deliver such amazing depth reviews. Thank You so much.

Those rims and the color combination... Wow! 👍🏻👌🏼😉

Holding left paddle shifter to stop car with bigger regen was implemented on e-niro too (previous generation).

10:03 on my US 2024 Kia EV6, all the ones I’ve sold, Niro EV’s and EV9’s you can use the left paddle to increase regren braking

Thank you for the Drive. I can‘t wait to get the new ev6 facelift in Germany 😊

Great video. I have the current EV6 looking forward to seeing the facelift version in the flesh. But also looking forward to seeing the EV3. I know it’s a lot smaller but should be as well specified. It goes on tour here in the uk at the end of August but will be interesting to know when you do the test drive how it compares to the EV6.

Ich sage es immer wieder: die Front ist ein Rückschritt! Beim Vorgänger war sie wesentlich charakterstärker. Aktuell sieht der ev6 wie ein beliebiger Asiate aus.

The regen thing has been out there for many years already in Kia/Huundai cars. The same is also found in many of the Niro hybrid and plug in hybrids for years already.

I actually really like the facelift on the GT-Line. It has quite the nice futuristic sports car look to it, and pre-facelift feels more modern. So I think either EV6 will age quite well, mainly for the GT-Line in my opinion though. It's nice because it doesn't scream "I'm an EV" and I like that. Oh and I appreciate it when you show the passenger seat, not everyone does it! And random question, do you know if it's possible in the future to update the infotainement system of prefacelift EV6 to look like the one in the facelift? I like the new interface.

Could you do a direct comparison video between the EV6 facelift and Ioniq 5 PE?

I'd like to know what the GT model looks like. Not sure why the GT has less features than the GT-Line.

Did you drive the pre-facelift version? If so, how is the suspension on the post-facelift version? Is it stiffer or softer?

Amazing detailed reviews!…❤❤❤

Better than ioniq 5 and BYD seal 🙂🙂

Thanks for this! I'm looking at the EV6 GT-Line S for our next car. Currently on a Puegeot e-208 but looking for something a bit bigger with increased range. I had no idea the facelift is going to have a larger battery while keeping the same price so if we do end up looking at buying new, we'll be hanging on til that facelift reaches the UK.

On my US 22' HI5 and GV60P, I can already pull the left paddle and it will use regen braking to slow the vehicle (even if in Auto, Level, or IPedal). It's interesting how Kia EV6 didn't have that originally (but at least the new one has it). I even added aftermarket aluminum paddle extensions because I use the left paddle all the time for regen braking.

I actually really like the EV6. The only epic fail is the Radio/HVAC combo buttons. It is always on the wrong thing while turning the volume know I change modes and now I am turning the heat up! Separate the controls. Move the shift to a stalk like Hyundai and give me more center console room. If not I guess I go with the Ioniq5 or Ioniq6. Also I wish they would soften the ride in the USA. I do not buy a EV6 to track it.

Has there been a facelift for the other EV6 models as well or only the GT line?

Thank you 🙏

The Side View /The Back View/From Above View Looks Great. The Front View Can Make Changes To Be Precise. Good Looking Car. The Headlights Can Be Made SImplier Lines With Precisions

Whoa the frunk on that GT-line RWD is way bigger

I have an ev6 and its a great car, I like the update but I think the new headlights are a downgrade

3:25 finally a light in the charge port! We didn't get it in the 2022 gt-line 2, yet I have one in a 2020 Niro PHEV 😂😂

선 댓글 후 감상합니다. 분명 다른 영상보다 가장 구독자의 눈에서 잘 설명해주셨을거라 생각합니다

Look good, but hopefully matte and satin colors will also be included in the selection. 🤔

Very good Video, i am happy with my GT pre Facelift, but only the battery and the Wireless car Play and android is better now. The diggi middle mirror is Not so important. Okay HOD is very nice to have ❤

Car scene Korea I have a big question so I big fan of you but the problem is I live in USA and I was wonder for the next video can you please go ask the hydunai CEO when will the Hydunai iq7 will be here to USA. Is 2024 or 2025

Maybe I did not understand what you mean with the regen system... but I believe that my EV9 has exactly the same behaviour when it comes to paddle shifters. EV9 GT Line Launch Edition - European (German) version.

Got back from South Korea last week. Managed to checkout a dealership whilst in Seoul and they didn't have any in, so well done getting one to review. Any news on UK release dates and GT model?

1:10 Do you know what gray or silver colors Kia is offering in the facelift EV6 GT-Line. Currently in the US, we only have the steel matte gray option and I hope they offer a non-matte gray or silver in the facelift.

I have 22 awd wind, holding down the left paddle regen brakes will slowly brake the car as well.. not sure if its because of software updates a while ago.. but it works on pre facelift.

Our Niro HEV has the regen brake selector, so not super new.

I prefer previous heads lights.

Waiting for your EV3 test drive!

Did they found a fix for the ICCU problem many people have? I don't have a EV6 but the Ioniq 5 and they share the same platform. I was reading so many posts from that the ICCU stops working properly. No more AC charging, which is bad but the car is still usable but also the 12V battery won't be charged anymore and the car won't start anymore or even shuts down when you are driving. If they still didn't found a solution, I wouldn't go for car using the E-GMP platform right now.

Beautiful car, great video. Any idea when you'll get to test drive the EV3?

Ambient lighting in the doors panels. 🤔 Ambient lighting should also be in the door panels + illuminated door handle!.

Is there a chance we will se a video at night for the head lights with proper shutter speed? Also how different is the paddle shifter to slow down to the brake pedal?

Great video mate but kia like the E niro have made this look fugly (a uk saying meaning funky but ugly) the old headlamps was and still look so future proofed. So glad they didn't change it too much as I'll be exchanging my 1st gen E niro for the current EV6 GTline plus 4WD. Cheers

Nice vid of a nice car but only the GT can drift, pal ;) Besides that, they should lower prices because here in Europe this EV6 doesn’t sells very well…

Is there a GT Version of the Kia EV6 and EV9?

Could you also make a video on the new upcoming EV4?

Are there more detailed specs about the new battery pack available? I'm looking for the weight compared to the current pack and the built in buffer. The current gen has a 77.4kWh usable pack with a total capacity of (I believe) ~84kWh for use as a buffer. Does the new pack's 84kWh pack have a similar design, bringing the total actual capacity closer to 90kWh?

Which one do you think is better for interior and riding quality EV6 vs Ioniq 5 ?

What are the fron headroom dimensions with the sunroof? I know the previous ev6 gt line models the headroom was pretty poor with the sunroof :(

no words on battery preconditioning? is it now possible to turn it on manually? Manual preconditioning is in?

Please compare with the Ioniq 5 refresh

I'm getting closer to the fact that I need to return the car to you. the panel is all shiny from the sun, everything is reflected on the windshield, it is very dangerous when driving. the seats are very uncomfortable

Change your camera settings so there’s no flicker 😅

Ev5 please

My car dealer said the 2024 EV6 would get an update for wireless CarPlay, does anyone know if that's true? Because wireless CarPlay can only happen if the infotainment device can handle it so I'd find it strange it would come through an update.

Hi thanks for the review. Any chance of getting wireless AA or carplay in the older models? (or is it a hardware issue?)

I’m confused. This left paddle hold max regen has been around since the first Hyundai IONIQ 5. This isn’t new.

its hud or head up display, not H.U.D. i meant this in a help way, not a dig way.

چه بارون قشنگی میاد اینجا که خیلی گرم ۲۹ درجه است😂 ‏‪

i doubt the U.S. will get the deeper frunk. They didn't include it in the last version either but they did in the UK. From what i was told it's not allowed in the u.s. unless they install a quick release latch on the inside for fear of some kid getting stuck inside...which begs the question, are people really driving around putting kids in the frunk of a car?😄

Does the 2025 EV6 GT-Line no longer have the Stylish, Dynamic and Cyber settings in Active Sound Design? I saw an Active Design tab with largest, moderate, and smallest change, but no advanced custom to pick Stylish, Dynamic and Cyber.

thanks! What is the DC charging speed now?

Ev3 please

I dont get it, we all know that having to shake the wheel to let the car know you are holding it is just stupid... How the F.... did they not implement a simple detection-method in the prefacelift... Its the one stupid thing I hate about my EV6 GT-Line the constant nagging it does telling me to hold the wheel while driving on a dead-straight with both hands on the wheel just drives me insane.. But next to that im pretty happy I own a pre-facelift, cant stand the looks of the new one, that offcenter logo.... yikes....

Owner of a 2024 EV6.. I'd rather buy an Ioniq 5 than this facelift version.

New front facia is 🤢🤢🤢 Not a good redesign.

Rear end remains fugly, and I mean fugly. New front end now at least doesn't steal from Tesla.

This 430km range in 2025 is a joke. Sorry KIA...
