I'd get the Kia. I prefer the more interesting styling, aside from the ducktail rear end, and even that is not terrible. It has plenty of room for four adults, or two and luggage, which is all I need. I don't like unshades panoramic glass roofs, and my partner loves moonroofs that open. But the killer feature for me is the fast charging, as we regularly take road trips. Most are not super long, but would require a few charges, including mid-day ones (like SF to LA would). An 18 minute break for a couple of hundred miles charge is entirely reasonable. We can grab a sandwich, use the restroom, or just stretch our legs. A 40+ minute stopover is much more annoying and would require just waiting around for it to finish.

The infotainment in KIA with the icons remind me of my old Mitsubishi Outlander but once you click past them, it looks more modern and fresh.

Did you get your test drive? I'm sure the Ford has more interior space. I didn't get to test drive it, but drove the EV6. I'm 6'4" and the EV6 is definitely more of a "wrap around" vehicle. But honestly, I liked the feel. Everything was right at hand, it has a more sporty feel without sacrificing comfort. I didn't feel cramped; just nicely "hugged". It will depend on the exact body proportions though. I have an average length torso with long legs, but some people have much of their height in their torso and so sit higher. A person with a really long torso might find their head too close to the roof, even if they aren't even particularly tall. (I'm going to assume that the truly tall among us, e.g. 6'6" and up, are just going to find the EV6 way too small.)

The Kia Niro EV has excellent one pedal driving. It's strong and will bring the car to a stop in just the right amount of time at any given speed. They really tuned it properly. Also has plenty of adjustment via paddles and you can hold a paddle for even extra regenerative braking which really works well at times...like coming off a freeway ramp at really high speeds and you need a little extra braking oomph to go to regen. I have no doubt the EV 6 one pedal driving will be amazing as well. The ID4s greatest flaw to me is the lack of one pedal driving. What in the hell where they thinking?

Great comparison. I disagree with Alex on 1 pedal. Love it on my Bolt, especially the finger controlled hard regen button. Being able to brake with your fingers instead of your foot is a game changer and I wish every car offered it (and that it was an analog type button instead of simply on/off). I don’t think the Kia’s paddles let you brake in this manner as they simply switch between different levels of regen right? Hearing that the regen is similar to a ID.4 also seems uninspiring. I expect these cars with far bigger motors and far faster charging capabilities than the Bolt to offer far harder regen braking for those who want it. I guess I’ll keep dreaming on that.

Care to explain a little better about blended braking? Does that mean when you use the traditional brake pedal, it is using regenerative braking and the disc/rotor? At 22:15 you mentioned that the blended braking recharges more than a tesla. Does that mean that full regen braking > blended braking > tesla's regen braking in terms of recharge?
@amperformance79982 жыл бұрын
With blended braking, when you step on the brake pedal, the car doesn't apply the physical brakes, rather it starts slowing the car with regen. As you press the brake harder, the car increases the regenerative braking until it reaches the mechanical limit of how much energy the system can recover. At this point the car starts applying the regular brake to slow you down more. But it can be difficult to make the transition between the two braking systems consistent and predictable. As I mentioned earlier, there is a limit to how much energy can be recovered by regenerative braking and that limit is determined by a number of factors. Like battery state of charge, how powerful the motor is, how capable the inverter is, and system voltage. The EV6 has a big advantage over the Tesla in that it has an 800v system vs Tesla's 400v which enables faster charging, and thus the EV6 can recover more regenerative energy than the Tesla in the same amount of time.

Great review. As others have said, really like the two viewpoints here! One more vote for the GT Performance vs. the EV6 GT showdown. Although, when you're already talking sub-5 second 0-60 times, how much more do REGULAR drivers really need? We'll start needing mandatory performance driving school for regular folks. (Not that it's a bad idea ...)

Possibly one of the quickest measures to extend average life expectancy in our country.....but you know how _certain_ people will complain about our freeDuMbs being violated...

Thank you both for this collaboration. I’ve watched all the content on both channels and feel good about my Mach-E selection! Alex, what is the brand name of the glass roof sun shade? I’ll be needing one of these.

I went for the ev6 gt. It’s an astonishing car. Crazy fast. No one lifts the bonnet and puts stuff in it.

I got to see both of these cars at the Cincinnati auto show yesterday. I was surprised at how cramped and small the EV6 was. I was expecting it to be more like the Mach E which isn't to bad. I haven't been in a Model Y yet but out of all the Ev's so far the ID4 is the most comfortable for what I'm used to. I'm just spoiled from driving a Ford C-max for so many years. I feel claustrophobic in cars with a low roof height now. EV tech changes so fast, the Mach E is already obsolete do to slow charging time. I hope they update it someday as it would be my choice to buy still.

For a shorter person around 5'3", which seats best support good posture? I often feel like seats push me into a slouched position. It's uncomfortable.

Hi Alex, I would like a comparison of the Hyundai Iconic 5 (top trim) verses Kia EV6 (top trim), maybe?

Good review, BUT surprised by your comments on the center console on the EV6. My wife really liked the space underneath for her handbag. Keep in mind possible utility for guys and gals when reviewing please.

Excellent video as always guys! I love how you guys admit when you don't know something "I'm not sure, I'll call it Mustang red" :)

Sofyan, I had strong opinions about the things you said! But it'll suffice me to say that I preferred the EV6 in basically every way, except maybe the concept of dealer markups which I cannot abide. Anyway.

We have an EV6 and are happy with it. Ford calling theirs a Mustang was an irritant to me. It looks nothing like a Mustang. One would think of your using the name you might try to style it similar to a Mustang.

No! 1-Pedal driving gives you more control. You just moderate your pressure on the pedal to speed up or slow down, no need to shift to the brake pedal. It doesn't "just exist" because Tesla doesn't do blended braking, it exists because it's a genuinely good driving experience. It's totally OK if people don't like it or use it, but it's also quite good for those of us that DO like it. :-)

At this point-N-time, I'm into four year return lease vehicle. But, i do wonder if there any way of incorporating an High efficiency solar panels. Instead of Skylight. You could incorporate them into both front & back trunk lids. Plus there the two air scoops on the front. At 60 to 70 mph with a turbine fan powering a trickle charger, To help after the sun goes down, when every amp counts.

Both great...and despite being a Ford guy...Kinda partial to the EV6/Ionic. Will wait until the charging network improves
