Which Is The Better EV? Ford Mustang Mach-E or Kia EV6?

[@theredline]

Thanks for inviting us to do this comparison, Alex! Next time, we need to redo this video with our Mach E GT Performance and the upcoming EV6 GT ;)

[@Jbiglin]

This was really enjoyable! I hope you’ll be doing another one soon, as I learned so much. If the Model Y LR was within a couple grand of these two, which would you pick first, second, etc? Thanks!

[@DL-vibes]

I’m bummed the WIND doesn’t have the sunroof and you have to upgrade to GT to get it. Everything else is sweet on EV6.

[@Fitforacting]

Yes please!!!! And then the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N when they make one

[@jondwyer6149]

Hahahahaha, you thinking the Mach E looks better in the front???? It looks like a freaking Ford Eco sport in the front. I know Alex is your friend and that Ford is his, but c'mon man you do reviews for a living. Don't be like CNN and MSNBC feeding people with false information. I know his feelings would be hurt, but honesty is the best policy

[@ianriot1578]

Ev6 looks like a womans car

[@ddduhawk3111]

You like the lady car....kia.

[@markmiller3279]

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.

[@msbgone]

As long as those 350Kw chargers actually charge close to 350, most reviews I have seen show about 125! That is not good, but overall the EV6 is about the only EV that can pull me away from a Model S or Y in my future so far!

[@peterwright837]

Definitely one of my favorite head to head comparisons so far in terms of style and presentation as well as the vehicles. I’d love to see something similar with the EV6 vs. the Ioniq 5.

[@Seitenwerk]

Just thought the same. The Ioniq 5 would probably be the best choice. Especially since the new 2023 (end of 2022) model is ready to order.

[@SilverShadow2LWB]

I agree. I think they should have talked about efficiency of each vehicle as well as the warranty differences.

I had an escape back in the day with the keypad entry. It was easily one of the best features on the car. I used it often from leaving my keys in the car to when just running out from the house real quick to grab something out of it. It’s a nice feature on fords. For those who actually use it, for those that leverage it, it’s really quite nice.

I love the feel of Tesla's one pedal driving. It works so flawlessly that using the standard brake is silly outside of emergency stops. Chevy Volt and Cmax Energi blended braking is total junk. There is no way to stop truly smoothly in either of those platforms.

[@JonMoralesLA]

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?

How about comparing the charging planning for long drives? That's a big convenience feature. The biggest factors for me, as a potential EV buyer in order of importance are charging speed, charging convenience/consistency, interior space and then cool features like vehicle to load. I could take or leave a big frunk.

[@Humphreyomega28]

I would pick Kia EV6. They are focused on making their range better along with their speeds. But overall, Mach E is cool too. Test trove it before and it's fast. I am waiting for Kia to bring out their GT EV6.

It’s interesting you say you never use the ford key code, for me, it’s probably the single thing that keeps me ford loyal!

[@OldThomMerton]

1) EV6 looks better, no question . . . the 'faux Mustang' look is already getting old. 2) F**k the frunk. I'd rather have the room in the back and better efficiency in a smaller vehicle is better than a gimmicky frunk. 3) Love the opening moonroof in the EV6. 4) I prefer the screen set up in the EV6 as well. Everyone's opinion is different . . . just sayin'.

[@mattclark1278]

Agree on all points. The Mach E is trying too hard to be an ugly Tesla.

[@paulpellico3797]

bu the point in the video is you DON'T get more room in the kia! the lack of headroom and rear seating space, much smaller cargo and front seating are the exact opposite of what you say.

[@Daniel-xo2on]

The EV6 has less room in all seats incl height. I have verified it myself. Also some issues in snow/rain, the side mirror screen(s) popping up in the middle dashboard is just blurry. Perhaps no problem in sunny california but further north - not a usable function. 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. They should have spent som more time there by the software engineers. A fun and good car to drive though but not more fun than Mach E in my opinion. Why not the frunk Tom, it is super usable !

[@OldThomMerton]

@@Daniel-xo2on I consider it a gimmick that Tesla started and now it seems that the EV posers have to have that frunk to let everyone know they are driving an EV . . . like in most cases we didn't already know. . . . I like the CUV format for a EV; give me room in the back, maybe a small frunk for cables and plugs, and I am good!

I frequently drive a freeway that is windy enough to blow a Camry around.

[@harvey66616]

I use the frunk in my Model S all the time. I do like it. But it's not a big enough deal for me to choose a car based on having one. Indeed, I wound up ordering an EV6, in spite of the tiny frunk (my LEAF, R.I.P., didn't have _any_ storage up front, and that too wasn't that big of a deal).

[@harvey66616]

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.)

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.
