No wonder EV6 won the 2022 European Car of the Year. Amazing car.

Comparing a car for 60,000 euros vs 140,000 euros...really impressive what Hyundai and Kia have been able to do and will help with EV uptake. Great real-life video.

Since 3 weeks I drive this EV6 GT Line. It's an incredible good car. My main car is a M340i BMW.

I have a 2018 Mercedes GLS350 and a S400 long wheel base and I'm selling both to buy an EV6 and Ioniq5. The Mercs started to literally fall apart from the third year, right after the warranty expired as if the cars were programmed to fail right after the warranty expires. Gearbox, Brakes, Electronics, Sensors, Mechanical parts, they are most probably manufactured to last 3 years and then the manufacturer is making TONS of money by selling maintenance works and parts. I had a similar experience with BMW 740iL. One of the major criteria when choosing a car is how it performs during a crash test. Both Kia and Hyundai EVs are the safest of their segments. Can't wait to get my hands on them.

This is amazing, I used to hate KIA, now I can't wait until I get into an EV6. It looks like the future of cars, look how beautiful it is at night. That ambient lighting colour is amazing! I love it. Also in complete relaxing silence for the school run, no need to shout at the kids...

I am absolutely satisfied with my EV6!! Top car, solid workmanship, excellent equipment, fair price, and last but not least 7 years of guarantee - also on the battery! When the EV6 came out, I did a lot of research on this vehicle and on alternatives in this price segment. I also did detailed and longer (minimum 2 up to 3 complete battery charges) test drives with a lot of other electric cars e.g. Skoda Enyaq iV 80, Ford mustang Mach E, Audi eTron, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. I was very disappointed especially with these last two because of the poor processing quality and the insufficient noise insulation (in comparison with the other candidates, loud driving noise, lack of insulation, noise from the chassis and wheels). The Tesla engines: Great! Charge & Travel planning: even better! but otherwise…. overall not exactly a highlight and much less perfect than advertised and expected. Ultimately, after a 2-day test drive, the EV6 was just short ahead of all the other vehicles. Even if there is still room for improvement in terms of charging planning and "cold gate" - which has already been announced by software updates. I still didn't reached 18 minutes for 10-80%, but on average it was only about 22-24 minutes. Other vehicles in this class can only dream of this (including the Tesla mentioned). The result: I canceled the pre-order for my KIA Sorento Platinum 2.2 Diesel AWD and quickly decided to buy the last available EV6 with AWD here in the Weimar area - and I haven't regretted it!!! Especially on regard of the astronomic petrol price this days, I think this was the absolute right decision! 100 km range with Diesel @8 liter/100 km with 2,01 EUR/Liter = 16,08 EUR, compared to 100 km range @19 kWh/100 km @0,28 EUR/kWh with my EV6 will cost only 5,32 EUR….. That means: a 500 km drive from Thuringia to Northrine-Westfalia and reverse (1000 km) will cost: with diesel = EUR 160,80 with ⚡️= EUR 53,20 Any questions ? Quite apart from the incredible fun of accelerating at any speed. When the Porsche or BMW driver with combustion engine pressing from behind is waiting to overcome the turbo lag, I’m already gone… Some are amazed, others grin with „thumbs up“, some look slightly disturbed: „WTF, I was left behind by a KIA ???“ Those looks: unforgettable Though I got my EV6 AWD since Dec 2021, I ordered the even stronger EV6 GT immediately then, and hope for an early delivery in Germany, probably in early November 2022. Can“t wait for the immense power and acceleration of this car. Even if I am a so called „defensive“ driver, 4WD-Power-torque-acceleration (for me) is a question of safety, not an opportunity to race or compare or mess with other drivers. Having some fun while entering the „Autobahn“, that“s ok, or finishing an overtake within the blink of an eye (safety ☺️). After all, I“m already 66 years old, so you don“t need races anymore…but still some fun with a powerful car from time to time…..Anyone here who wants o buy my EV6 AWD 325 HP then (Standard Edition, first registration 12/2021, in Dec 2022 12.000 km max, color aurora black, 19“winter tires, 20“summer tires, trailer hitch, all available complete packages except sun roof)? Greetings from Germany Uwe

I feel like it's going to be Tesla vs Hyundai in the future ev market just like how it's Apple vs Samsung now in the smartphone market.

The interior of this looks pretty slick I wouldn't mind driving this 😍

I have driven the Kia EV6 ( not at autobahn speeds) and I was really impressed with it. I also love the styling both interior and exterior

can’t wait for the 580hp version!!😊

Just ordered an EV6.

Bin zwar kein Fan von E-Autos aber solche Videos Feier ich. Die mit dem BMW und MB waren schon klasse.

A short, first view on the Taycan-Killer? EV6 /// Ein kurzer erster Blick auf den Taycan-Killer EV6: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrl7qJCXlp7Dpn0.html

for comparison, this was one of the fastest runs (because of lower traffic) and the bad weather and wind. Also only 87% were used, so we can assume an easy 250km range with quick autobahn driving and way more in summer. So it's quite efficient and charges incredibly fast.

I'm actually really upset that I can't afford one of these, wanted one so much it hurts 😥

European car of the year 2022!

Keep up these videos they are unique and super useful

KIA has done a really good job with the EV6. This EV6 with its top notch charging infrastructure is just fabulous. People who are looking to take the leap into driving an EV now have this solid and genuinely great vehicle to purchase and to enjoy driving in their day to day life. The specification on the GT LINE S model is excellent.

Great content, keep it up... I will subscribe to your channel... Everything is very clear and a nice comparison of state of charges.

Viel besser als teuere EQS. Auf aller Aspekte ist EV6 Vorbild

That ambient lighting 😍😍 🚗

Nice kia.

Better looking, cheaper and better than it's German competitors.

Nice job with English language. Love your accent. Nice job on the Video. And . . . talking with your hands going 160km/hr!!

Amazing car

This, its Hyundai "bro" and Skoda ENYAQ are the best trio for me for now.

Many thx🎩👌

Awesome test! Great car! Please test 2022 model 3 on the same autobahn run

Despite poor weather condition, pretty decent result. :)

160kp/h with heavy rain is bold.

Habe den Wagen in der Leistungsvariante bestellt. Leider muss ich bis zur Auslieferung im Dezember noch warten. Solche informativen Videos überbrücken die Zeit jedoch perfekt. Ich kann es jedenfalls kaum erwarten 😉

Ev6 is an amazing car only issue I had was it was a bit too low driving position I’m looking for a sportage size but fully ev hopefully soon

awesome love it... Just need to find the cash now 🙂

The range of this nice car is very acceptable for a medium price

can you please deliver some information about the instrument on the upper left of the dashboard? THX in advance !!! Greetings from Germany Uwe

what a sexy vehicle! cant wait for the 580 version.

I was like the philly auto show a couple of weeks ago And we got to ride in the Kia E V6 And but holy cow how that thing is fast. Really like the design from the outside and the interior But I think the one thing that people are going to criticize is the. Steering wheel

Love your review! Any plans for Teslas? 😉

GT Line bedeutet nicht automatisch AWD ;-) Vielen Dank für den Test, ich bin gespannt, wie sich unser RWD auf der AB schlägt. Wenn er denn mal irgendewann geliefert wird...

Nice of his grandma to knit those gloves for him to do serious driving in a Kia

Das Fahrbier ist auch dabei 😂😂😂😂

I think a Yoke would make a nice option to allow complete vision of the dash.

What size of wheel/tire was on this model? Love watching your videos. All of these EVs are just arriving here in Canada but the wait times are crazy. I think this one is my leading option.

Seeing what's already on the market and soon to come I would say it will be a hard time for premium car manufacturers in the future. Those electric "platforms" are obviously much easier to optimize and there is only so much room to explain the difference with leather seats and other blabla. Seeing also how much car makers struggle with their software platforms it'll be an interesting century ahead for EV producers.

Apparently the spec for EV6 GT Line AWD in my country comes with 19 inch rims instead of the 20s. How will that affect the acceleration figures?

close to the german premium rivals ? lol much better !!!! the electric car pinnacle is Tesla , and looks out and inside much better than tesla

It would be interesting to see the same test with a Tesla Model 3 Long Range ⚡️👍. I think the Tesla is quite efficient in such conditions.

Are they flappy paddles? If so what are they for in an EV please?

Wunderbar GruB von Houston, Texas

seeing this...buying my 2019 340i RWD 265kW with M Performance exhaust kit was the best decision in my life :D

Ein Tesla Long Range wäre super interessant in diesem Test. Man hört oft von realen 400-450km Reichweite. Mal sehen, wie das bei alltäglicher Fahrweise aussehen würde. Wäre gespannt ...

please stay on the right lane if you are only able to reach 190kph

600Nm is really nice. I’m just now starting to look into an ev for my next car. Edit: I don’t care about hp just torque. (Mostly)

Even with a regular car i always take a break every 2 hours or so. A coffee and a zig. So... Couple more minutes difference is not bat at all.

Real life drive👍 30kw/100km cost how much 15-20€? How much gasoline get that price? I see all electric cars worth own if you charge at home or sollar for free,or you are a slow drive person😄

I will buy one used in year 2032. Wonder how much new battery will cost.

9:20 this car (KIA) allready over german primius rivals, and this for less money, german "rivals" shakes his pants :P

Try the Mokka E. I drove one from Hamburg to Hannover and Reichweite was 280km from start at 99% and I arrived with 25km Reichweite and the distance was 163km. Had to use the car in Eco mode with no heater or anything just to successfully make it and only drove 110km/h the whole trip. Absolutely terrible car

Someone can tell me why it always feels 3 times slower recording a camera driving compared to driving the real thing? Been tryin recording to and my dash cam really annoys me on that part.

220km for a full battery is still way too low if you ask me, but its getting better slowly. I can see myself owning an electric car if the range reaches 350km on a full charge. I see that it still takes quite long to charge it from 5-10% to 100% , usually 35-45 minutes, but considering that used to be 3-4 hours just few years ago its a n improvement. Unfortunately there is barely any charging stations in my country and smaller or less developed countries, so that is a big issue.

never the less..... :D

Ich denke 140 km/h sind realitätsnäher als 160km/h. Trotzdem kombiniert mit ein paar 180km/h sprints, denn die kommen natürlich auch vor.

Just being curious, what’s the red stuff at the bottom of the wind screen?

Chip and not bad

The headcam movement is a bit annoying. Interior lighting is nice.

KIA should improve drag coefficient!!!!!!!

I really wanted this car, but dealers in the US put a mark up on them. It's basically the same price as a Tesla.

You know the rules so do i

GT Line does not mean 4WD / 325 bhp. GT Line is a trim level and also exists in RWD / 229 bhp.

looks very scary.. going over 200 km on rainy night.. :(

안녕 애들아 ~

Ist das Berlin Lichtenberg oder näher Springpful?

only 200 km one charging?

Whats with the gloves? Were your hands cold?

Very nice timetable, as we already know, but give me the slower charging. My wallet like's it more.😅

Any discussion about EV must start with range and price. Because All EVs are very fast.

Screen resolution for 360° camera is not HD, white GAC emkoo hybrid 2024 camera is crystal clear screen

Nice stringback driving gloves....AHHH HAAA

lot of noise in KIA, poor sound isolation, they need to improve this point

I hate how they limit the top speed of these cars

Are you crazy driving that fast in rain?

Turn off the phony car sounds from the infoscreen.

220 km. And you people think this technology is ready for the mass market. Still laughing.

Why is this one so weak on HP ???? US ones have over 540 HP. 167 top speed .......

new friday i can get my new EV6 Plus Bussines 77Kwh

3:13 LOL your bad at parking :-D ...I know....Pictures...Off course hehe

This is no 4K :P aber wirklich :P👎 But this KIA ist just mega 👍👏

Korea made electric car!

Korea get better and better and it's so fast at the history of car

Sehr schöne Handschuhe und Sprache

Wind, rain and night. Clearly not the safest conditions for a high speed test.

Far much better than Taycan.

빗길에선 80km으로 달리세욤

My car does 800km with these speeds.

The manufacturers of electric cars DONT make the batteries and use the same battery control systems made by external suppliers.. If you think that a Mercedes Benz EQ is going to be somehow better performing than a Kia EV6, your dreaming. Tesla however is at the forefront of electric drive, electric battery tech and battery controllers so they have at least 5 years ahead IMHO.

How close it gets to german premium rivals? Come on man, most german EV's perform way less than other brands!

This shows one of the problems with ev cars. The range is just too low compared to normal cars.

Almost 60k for this battery-powered toy? I just don't see it... I'll stick with the faster, more fun petrol car for half the price. And I will also stop thinking about the batteries, their charging and whether or not I'll arrive to my destination.

🇰🇷 KIA

sounds all good untill 8 years from now you need new batteries. it's then you scrap it to buy a new one. just buy a kia picanto ffs. cheaper by a long way
