I’m guessing Porsches are less expensive in Europe 😢

It’ll buff off

😂😂😂😂

@@Nonegiven14582 : True, but unlike many others of this ilk, it is not too biased, and very watchable!

@@SlayerJim no, it isn't cheaper here or that cheaper 😅

Agree. I canceled my i4 M50 order after a test drive in the EV6 GT, which I bought. I immediately felt more comfortable in the Kia - much better forward visibility and unlike Rory, I love the seats. I think the tech in the Kia is better, the paddle regen control is wonderful. I am also getting way better range than the EPA rating. How Rory can say the car has unnecessary power and is not fun is beyond me.

Rory is all worked up about the thigh support - not sure on his seating position but I don’t have his issue…

This is also the first "negative" review I see of the EV6 GT, other reviewers where having a blast and where calling it the first real performance EV.

Yeah, I don't get the seat comments. When I heard that I thought "Huh? I've never felt disccomfort along the thigh in this? I thought the seats were actually quite good". The climate/media control switching... never found that a problem either. Though these days I default it to climate (if I switch it to media it reverts to climate again after a few seconds) as nearly all the media controls are operated through buttons on the steering wheel. Australia may have a different suspension tune (or my prior experience is with stiff sports cars), but I'd hardly call the ride harsh, even in GT mode. I never really change the seat position, so lack of power seats isn't a big deal. Though I really would have liked the ventilation that is on the GT-Line seats. I haven't pushed my EV6 GT hard around corners yet (still getting used to it; don't want to bingle it), but there may be some truth to the lack of predictability mid corner. Shall see how much of that sense diappears once I'm more accustomed to the car. Overall, this car is a sensational drive, as well as a comfy cruiser. And in a squirt from the traffic lights it will destroy pretty much any ICE car out there.

Where did you get it for so cheap?

thats it tho your not paying for luxury 585 bhp in a kia isnt gonna be as nice as 585 bhp in a ferrari or bentley

Carwow already did a drag race with this EV and Ferrari

It can never be luxury if it's mass marketed.

Going fast in a straight line is about where it ends. These shitty EVs are horrible cars. No challenge what so ever pal.

There's also the fact that the base model has more than enough performance for a daily-driver crossover. You are paying more for worse experience with the GT.

​@@smog535have you driven one? I tested it and could not tell a major difference in comfortability in comfort mode vs my EV6 GT-Line.

I agree on the spoiling part. EV6 GT laps on track quite well, but it seems that Rory is on a mission to trash the car. "... For a Kia" and comparison to slower USED porsche Taycan gave it up. 😂

@@speksih : I really enjoy Rory's presentation... a bit of fact, a bit of his opinion, and a bit of 'tongue in cheek'. He has been (relatively) flattering about Kia's in the past, and while you may not agree with the comparison to a USED car, remember this channel is called 'AutoTrader' for a reason! 😜 Maybe if you and I were supplied with an Audi E-tron GT, we would look down our noses at most other cars on offer? Lucky Bas***d!

@slickidrich490 : I have owned BMW's for the past forty-plus years. We also have a Kia Niro EV... I could not be more impressed with the standard of fit & finish in the Kia; OK, the seats are covered in something fake with a fancy name right out of Elon's book, and will never compare to BMW's M-Sport leather offerings, but it was only half the price. Things are changing at a scary pace! 🥴

What about for the afternoon?

Im excited for you!

@@RiffShark007me too

Congrats, I’m sure you will enjoy it Looks great and big power so no brainer really

Ignore the naysayers who say electric cars are “soulless“. I have had perfomance gas engine cars my whole life, but my EV6 GT has won me over. What it may lack in noise and vibration (if that’s your thing, it’s not mine anymore) it makes up for in instant, massive torque - which is its own kind of soul. You will love it.

@pumpituphomeboy : I agree... I have watched Rory's reviews on cars I have no interest in, just because I enjoy his videos. Nevertheless, not everyone is annoyed by the same things; For example, Kia's Lane Keep Assist (LKA) is a real hate for me... I want to be able to 'ease' through a corner by touching the sideline without getting into a 'Tug of War' with the steering wheel. As for have the damned thing scare the carp out of my passengers by 'Bonging' repeatedly... HELL NO! I have tried and failed to turn this off in the menus; having to turn it off each trip is a faff. My BMW allows me to turn the steering-tugger off, and choose whether to have vibrate on, and at what level... it would never be so uncouth as to involve my passengers in the decision by yelling at them! AND IT REMEMBERS WHAT I TOLD IT!... it is my car, after all. 😡

And if you want to go round corners and embarrass you and your mates it is so heavy I could leave you for dead in a citroen c1.......

@@adams7405 haha. Clearly never driven one. Will keep an eye out for you in your Citroen C1 though! Personally I think the Toyota Aygo is better version. Do you have the 1.3?

So you have to press auto or press heat to get heat?

@@AutoTraderTV you just leave it in auto. Then it heats or cools to whatever temp you set like a normal climate control. It remembers the setting when turned off. Set and forget.

You just leave it turned on in normal situations. But if you need to maximise range, you have the ability to turn off the heat. No one complains that you have to press the A/C button to get cold air in ICE car...

Lol car reviewer doesn't know how automatic hvac controls work

mine coming this month :-)

36k? That's shockingly powerful for the drive

Yes 36k brilliant pricing plan by MG hope all other manufacturers follow

Yeah, MG's are crazy good, especially for the money. And the Cyberster is an absolute beaut. Even so, I've always loved Korean cars like Hyundai and Kia.

Well yes, it is awesome pricing, but the MG4 certainly hasnt had the attention it needs to handle the 429bhp properly. Theyve just strapped all that power into an almost standard car and the bright orange brake covers on it, dont fill you with confidence. However 3.8 secs for £36k is STILL bonkers. Im not sure there has been a new car in the last decade sold for that kind of money (hhmm. am I right?!) that gives so much straightline performance. Given the absolute daft EV pricing at the moment, its outrageous what MG have done there.

@SteYoung Absolutely agree with you thr MG does need more upgrades for it to be a better handling car but for straight light of the lights performance it is very hard to beat good sleeper car to pull up at the red lights in.

So… from 2.1 tonnes to 2.12 tonnes?

@@AutoTraderTV every ounce counts..😂😂😂

You do know the r8 has manual seats to but no one complains about that

Give me mechanical seats any day of the week. My wife and I are constantly adjusting seats for each other and it takes way less time with a mechanical lever than holding a button and waiting for the seat to bzzzzzz its way into position. Pull, slide, clunk, done.

@@TheDaern If you had a good auto seat it would memorise both your favourite positions and automatically preset them based on whose key was used to open the door. No adjustment necessary. Ever.

Only if you’ve also pressed auto.

All that shenanigans just to get HEAT! I'll drive my non-automated ICE donkey till the wheels fall off

On my car I just set the temp and the system then goes about it’s business without any further intervention - which is as it should be.

Same with mine. I set it up in a few seconds when I first got the car and haven’t touched it since. My wife will never drive it, she’s terrified of the car!

@@michaelc2254 Ha! My wife loves the car, but she refuses to drive it for some reason. She has an Ioniq 5. I think maybe she doesn't want to get jealous. Ha ha!

428❤❤❤

@hieroglyph321 : I assume you are referring to the Ioniq 5 N? Without seeing one 'in the flesh', I really like the look of it. The Yt reviews I've seen suggest that the standard Kia EV6 is a bit better to drive than the standard Ioniq 5, but early signs suggest the Ioniq 5 N might have the edge on the EV6 GT. It will be interesting to watch progress.

@@PiefacePete46 The Kia GT was made as a GT, so fast on long straights. The Ioniq 5 N is even more special, totally different interior and exterior, more cooling for on track, more aero for downforce, more things you can customize (torque to front or rear), different interior etc etc. Albert Biermann even said it in an interview, the N is made for the track, the GT for long distance cruising,

Nobody aspires to buy a Kia though 🤷🏾‍♂️ until they’re more swank it’s still a hard sell in the US IMO

@@ThisiscoolGAMES I'd put the build quality of this car against my Mercedes-Benz GLC AMG. I agree, Kia probably doesn't end up as a poster on the wall of teenagers. I wanted an EV for the performance. This thing is considerably quicker than my RS3 tuned on E85. It's a hoot!

⁠@@sforry9332 I agree. I have one and the fit and finish is just as good as my BMW. It’s scary fast and I’m killing the EPA range rating. I have been taking it easy to see how much I could stretch it and driving mostly in Normal Mode with occasional blasts in GT I am getting 270-280 miles on a full charge. I don’t know how the EPA tested it, but it is capable of WAY more than 206 miles.

@@michaelc2254 my last charge was 273 with 8% remaining

According to Hyundai, the 0-60 time is only .1 seconds quicker than the EV6 GT. We’ll see what happens when they hit the street.

Hahahaha. The diffuser is pushing the car down onto the tyres. No mate, a ton of batteries is doing that!

With a smooth ubderbody, the diffuser probably does more than on a typical ICE car. And the spoiler does work, it is just more about aero efficiency than downforce.

@ChrisYT1812 : Of course it does... it generates comments on KZfaq review videos... any sort of public comment is free advertising! 😜

They are amazing - I sold my f10 m5 for one - they are so good - quick and different -

@shovel : True, but the whole picture changes when two or more people share a vehicle. We have a Kia Niro without seat memory, and a BMW with "Comfort Access". Approach the BMW with your own key in your pocket and the door unlocks, the seat moves to your position, the door-mirrors do the same, the sound system switches to your station, the Head-Up display adjusts to your height, etc. Just think how much complication you are avoiding! 😜 🥴

😂😂😂 I have watched the brits use massive and fantastic 30x in one video.

I call bullsh1t. There are no electric seats for the GT. And there are no electric seats similar to GT seats from Hyundai Corp.

@@speksih I think its a case of GT-Line awd versus "GT" from this review

@@davidwolff1400 But they are not Exact same seats, the basic EV6 have no side support compared to thr GT ones. They are totally different seats.

@@speksih : The way I read it, @davidwolff1400 is not suggesting there are EV6 GT seats that are powered; rather he is suggesting that @thespeedlife had driven an EV6 GT-Line, not an EV6 GT. Unless he drove an updated model nobody else has ever seen, the seats would not be "the exact same seats". I had a look at thespeedlife KZfaq channel, but there was no Kia reviews there. BTW: I was close to buying an EV6 Long Range (Basic RWD model). The lack of side-bolster support, along with my wife finding it hard to judge the hidden extremities in traffic, killed it. We bought a Niro EV. Performance is a little down on the EV6 Long Range, but it is ideal for our requirements, and we have a BMW 330e if we need more.

One knob for one purpose is preferable to one knob with six purposes depending on context, sir. You don’t have to tell me anything.

Agree. I have an EV6 GT and in 6 months of ownership I think I have mistaken the mode I’m in maybe twice. Besides, you can control the radio from the steering wheel, no need to use the screen. I think it’s mainly an issue for car reviewers who always seem to find something to niggle about in their limited time with the vehicle. For owners, it’s a non-issue.

Ma man you can still go for the EV6 GT-line S e-AWD model... It has the power, the range, the tech and is cheaper!

@@carboresross Same for me. I have owned performance BMWs for years and I had an i4 M50 on order until I test drove the EV6 GT. It felt just as quick as the BMW, if not quicker, and I was really impressed by the fit and finish. I canceled the BMW order, bought the EV6 GT and saved about $20k. I am also crushing the EPA range rating. I love the car.

And more to the point MG are rebadged SAIC cars which means all profit goes straight into the CCP's coffers. If only people knew

Ha... I agree Ev's can take the fun out of ICE cars... especially when my Tesla out accelerates them. It's funny...

They can't. I own a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS and am sick of dopes in EVs who think they're driving some kind of supercar. The reality in the real world on the open road is they can't even get close to you, I rinse Tesla model S and shitty Kia EVs all day long. All they do is embarrass themselves by thinking they can stay with a proper performance car.

No, the N will be much better, developed on the track rather then being a GT car, better battery, better cooling, complete new steering wheel etc etc.

I found that strange as well. In fact, it’s shocking.

Have you ever felt the acceleration and torque of a fast EV? It’s incredibly violent. Accelerating alone feels like being hit by another car.

@@AutoTraderTV I haven’t but you’ve spawned some additional interest 🤔. Sounds like a good time and like I need to visit the dealership 👌

On the price - You can't go quicker for cheaper! So yes, expensive, but good value !

Based on Golf/Focus/Mini prices the average ICE car seems to be around £30-40k. £20k more for an electric GT - maybe not too bad.
