Nice to see you like the car :). Got mine 1 year ago, I like it a lot. I'm kinda biased since I own one, but one of the most fun EV to drive in that price class. The range is not a problem where I live (Norway), only been fast charged 4 times in 1 year. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are standard in Europe, it's a little disappointing since most reviews I see is from US and the car would probably perform a little better with MPS4S tires than Goodyear. There is also a Battery Optimizer button in the car for maximum performance (Only in GT). It's on the right screen at the split screen option where you can scroll throught weather, radio, media, EV things. When enabled the car will heat up to 86f (30celsius) or cool down the battery for maximum performance. Only works over 68% SOC. In the temps you where driving you probably had +-500bhp and not the fully 577bhp (585hp). There is a PreHeat battery function in the EV6, if you navigate to a fast chager with the cars navigation it will preheat the battery for faster charging, works down to 18%. You should get around 200kw charging up to 55% SOC when enabled. Should be enabled 15-60min before charging, depends on battery temp. I have used it and been charging from 25-85% in 18mins.

Remove the 4 doors, frunk lid, rear door, passenger and backseats and you'll find an increase in performance (not only 0-60 but also range)

Recently picked one up 2 months ago. What an awesome car it is. True sleeper for someone that wants a fast car but don't want to stand out that much. The 5 N is nice overall as well but it's a lil over stylized imo. I think of i was younger yeah sure but i like my cars too look nice but at the same time not too crazy looking. Plus I wanted an opening sunroof as well. Wish it was an opening pano instead but I'll take it for now. Love everything else about the car. I wanted the Ioniq 5 Limited AWD for the longest time but didn't want to wait until the end of this year for it. The GT is nice inside and out overall for me. While the 5 looks nice on the outside only for me. The inside of the revised 25 looks nice tho, especially the new N-line trim. Edit: Also thanks for still reviewing this car even after a year of when it came out in the US. Too bad the NA spec got cheapen for dumb reasons. At least give us the MPS tires. 😊 Static projector headlights would've been a lot better as a downgrade not reflectors. Rear sequential turns looked fine to me so wth. Other cars have them so why not the EV6? Lame. Gonna upgrade the rears later this year tho.

I got mine for $38k with 4k miles. I keep it eco most of the time because it’s still faster than 90% of cars out there.

Nice review for a non EV owner to educate the uneducated about most of the Ev lies! I own the EV6GT for 7 months and 16K miles and I am a driving enthusiast. You are correct about being a sleeper. I am in ATL and Teslas and Rivians are everywhere with many others, but I have a matt silver GT and I have seen one other in the last year. I traded my BMW X3M comp which is a better car and more fun but it now costs $90k. The Kia can be had for less than $60k and is worth every penny. I have a Kona N which I take to the track and will seriously consider the Ioniq 5N once I can pick one up for MSRP of $67k. My experience with the GT being so good for a GT car but I love the out of the box N experience similar to the M. Everything is turned up a notch and with the drive modes becomes 3 cars in one. Please drive the N if you get a chance! Thanks

Man your subscribers have gone up tenfold in a month.

Very nice! Glad you didn't get stuck in the canyon, although range does seem like a serious limitation.

The kia dealer near my house in southern California has like 6 new 2023 GTs still for sale ... apparently the novelty has already worn off. And watching the range down down almost like a clock was wild

i want one so bad

Drove one at the auto show, pretty cool

If Kia's reasons for no powered seats are like Hyundai's for the Ioniq 5 N it'll be because adding motors to the seat would raise them too much.

Just last week I uploaded my review on the EV6 Wind AWD on my channel, but I did get a chance to test drive an EV6-GT a while ago and FELL IN LOVE with it. They're even more affordable now on the pre-owned market, but I'm upside down on my loan so I have to wait a little longer. Lol.

What are your thoughts on the Hyundai ionic 5 N? Not sure it is worth the price premium over this car.

I am highly considering this EV6.

A person should be arrested for spending 60,000 on a kia.

Wow you'll review anything
