Kia Is The EV Company To Watch | 2023 Kia EV6 First Drive Review

Kia may not have started with the fanfare of the Mach E, but their EV plans are ambitious and they have the tech to back it up. Kia's biggest innovation is in bringing an 800V battery to the masses. The new 800V standard allows the EV6 to charge from 10-80% in just 18 minutes, less than half of the time of the nearest competitor from Ford.

5 years ago.. Kia and Hyundai were jokes. Now US brands feel like worst auto brands when it comes to attention to detail, design, perfection, performance, value, U name it is far superior to most competition from Ford, GM, FCA. Shows how weak US engineering and skill is when compared with Korean one, that too while Korea being a pint sized nation as opposed to a giant like USA. It seems that it is true that US is a super power and supreme nation only in Hollywood movies... In reality almost all countries have grown better than USA

[@nc3826]

Korean vehicle are competing with Japan and Euro trash built vehicles... not big US vehicles... expect for US based Tesla, which also seems to be doing OK vs the competition, I guess? And its ironic to bitch and whine about the US on a US platform that profits from your whining.... must be a putin bot ;) Also 5 years ago.. only trolling YT wannabe experts without life... where the only ones that thought Kia and Hyundai were jokes... when they were already better than most brands...

This is a slam dunk for Kia. I’d buy the EV6 over a Mach-e GT Performance even though they don’t compete yet.

[@greg.anywhere]

Yet ;) But when their 577 horsepower super-crossover arrives, it'll be a whole new ball game.

[@singingLeaf123]

@@greg.anywhere I heard that version is 80k, about 10k more than mache gt performance so I would pick mach e for faster version.

[@greg.anywhere]

@@singingLeaf123 We cannot confirm what the price of the GT variant will be because its launch is still about 9 months away. The GT variant won't even see the 2022 model year. The vehicle is still in development. I'll wait to see what Kia says, and even if it is more expensive than the Mach E, it still will have more horsepower and torque than any Mach e. So I'll just hold out to see what Kia confirms.

[@didiermejia780]

I have a Mach e GT, I'll admit i wish my pony had more features like the kia. After tax credits and incentives I got 13.250k off my Mach E, without them I probably would have gotten something else.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

If an EV6 rides like a BMW 5 series, than that's a big coup for Kia. This car sounds like a new benchmark, along with the Ioniq 5.

[@discerningmind]

I agree. Kia has surprised me by exceeding other EV manufacturers.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@discerningmind agreed. As a Camry owner I’m impressed w Kia Hyundai lately even if they have recalls going on The ev6 I can say absolutely destroys the bz4x before it even gets launched

[@discerningmind]

@@naveenthemachine Thanks for commenting. I think Hyundai/KIA must have been quietly working on EVs for a time, and that could explain why they are excelling now.

[@kotor87]

@@discerningmind Hyundai/Kia been invested and developing Hydrogen Car since 1995, then later in late 2000s, they switched their future EV strategy into Two Track with BEV and Hydrogen Fuel Electric Vehicle. They actually heavily considered partner up with Toyota for hybrid vehicles but Toyota wanted only their system to be used not independently developed by Hyundai (which makes whole lot sense since Hybrid Tech is Toyota's pivotal ICE/Electric Tech they have so far) so that was no go for them. So Hyundai/Kia's New Plan is to invest and acquire New Battery Pack Tech from infant companies like Canoo (where they acquired Skatboarding Platform) and Rimac Automobili (800v Battery Power Train). As for the Hydrogen Plan, they seem to steer away from daily commune vehicles to commercial ones like Trailers and Truck, turning them into autonomous drones (They actually shipped 12 of Hydrgoen Commercial Trucks to Switzerland few years ago). However, Kia is working on FK Prototype which is Stinger based Mid-Engine Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle rumoured to be just for Remans 24 Race, which might hinting that it's a test bed for high performance cars with FCEV tech but highly doubtful though.

[@discerningmind]

@@kotor87 Thank you very much.

[@andyp.4205]

For me the Kia easily over the Mach E. I just leased a 2021 Hyundai Ioniq Limited in November of 2021. There was no market adjustment, Hyundai added a lot of factory money to make the lease desirable.

[@kenc2257]

Great video--that EV6 is really nice. Enjoyed your in-car chat/discussion with Sofyan Bey.

[@braxtonerowe]

I have the First Edition EV6 in urban yellow reserved. No date yet on arrival. Quoted somewhere between February and May. I also don’t have final pricing on it yet. Unfortunately the dealership adds $2k markup, so that won’t be pleasant and I’m unable to change dealerships at this point. When I reserved, it said $58,000. It’s practically the GT-Line with all the options and a few add-ons to make it unique as a First Edition. I definitely prefer it to any other EV on the market today.

[@natemorin]

You should be pretty happy with the $2k market adjustment. My dealer Koons Kia of Owings Mills notified me my FE would arrive on Feb 20th. Then told me they were adding a $15k market adjustment bringing the car to $75k with and out door after tax and tax of about $80k. They're nuts and going to drive away a lot of customers with that level of greed. I told them to keep it and I would settle for a model y at more than $12k less even after the $7500 rebate on the EV6.

[@braxtonerowe]

@@natemorin that’s brutal. It’s frustrating to reserve at one price to be sucker punched with a different price later on when it’s finally here. I’ll never go through this process again.

I still don't get what the issue is with not having (much) storage up front. I don't see it getting used often and for the mechanics that ever have to work on the drive-train, this is so much more comfortable to work on.

[@coben70]

My trunk is empty about 90% of time. 10% of time it is still not 100% full. So I do not care about frunk. I would rather use trunk than frunk.

[@AceEverett]

It's nice to have an area to store stuff long term. I keep a backpack with emergency clothes/items, and a tire plug kit and electric tire inflator so I can fix my tire on the side of the road then keep going. They are also not hard to remove for mechanics.

[@Calbo223]

There's usually under the trunk storage for emergency stuff.

[@amperformance7998]

I think it is more that the frunk very broadly is representative of the packaging opportunities possible in an EV platform. You open the bonnet and...just a big space, no engine. It is a visual reminder that this car is different, and on KZbin, visuals are important. When my EV6 finally arrives (in 18ish months) I plan to use the larger frunk I. My RWD GT-line for charging cables, an extension cord, tyre kit, securement straps, tow ball... all the little stuff I don't use often, but may need.

I only need an EV for short range driving and for my teenage kids to learn/use, so 232 miles is more than enough for me. Might go Ioniq 5 as well. Need to check it out soon. SOFYAN! What’s up dude???

[@jcpizer]

Not sure I understand the comment, “small frunk storage due to heat pump and crumple zone,” Alex. Model Y ships with a heat pump and allows for a frunk (larger than Mach-E) and tops crash test scores, is faster, drives like a BMW with more storage and range. LG batteries used by Kia with no mention of the issues GM is facing. Not hating on the review but Model Y is the class leading benchmark and it was mentioned exactly twice. 50k Mach-E’s on the road; Tesla sold 1M EV’s last year 🤔

[@841577]

Just bought an EV6. Fantastic car. Really enjoying it so far.

Love your work Alex. Personally I consider the EV6 and the Mach E my top choices and you’re giving us the best comparison info out there.

[@heidiwilks5316]

I prefer the more upright stance of the Ionic 5, but would be willing to give the EV6 a try, though my experience with 3 years of owning a 2020 Soul EV hasn't been great in terms of service: a/c was out of commission for almost all of calendar 2021, with Kia constantly having to order individual parts all the way from Korea. Kia needs to get its parts supply for the NA market in order. I also prefer the interior design of the Ionic 5 as well, more of a relaxed theme than the more aggressive design of its Kia stablemate.

I wonder why Alex does a good job of "writing" all the numbers and scores on screen but doesn't do that for the price but as always great review!

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

He's got different types of reviews. Typically the ones that get the full price spec sheet on the screen, plus comparisons to competitors are once he gets the vehicle at his home base, where he can subject it to his standardized battery of tests. This type of video is a little more thorough than his usual "first look" type videos, but he won't score/grade it completely until he can drive it at home. That said, these videos are still waaaaaayyyyy more informative than a lot of his KZbin competitors.

[@stanthechanman]

From the front this looks like a swole VW Scirocco. I'm really digging this over the Ionic 5.

[@palebeachbum]

The EV6 looks SO GOOD. It's funny that it's an all-new model and nameplate and drives more sportingly than the Mustang Mocky.

[@jimji2774]

I didn't get a chance to drive the Ionic 5 but sat in the lower and mid level trims and the EV6 is just quite a bit higher end feeling cabin. If you are a long upper body type you may have head room issues but I am 6' with long legs so I did not though it did feel small overall in there. To me it is much better looking on the outside as well but that is subjective of course. I will point out something that I feel is the best selling point of all. On my brand new Rivian R1T pickup the regen braking is really intense in the standard setting and the only other option is one higher setting. It is difficult to drive smoothly on the highway and makes some whining motor sounds. I believe the EV6 I drove had 5 levels of adjustment with the highest level being softer than the standard level on the Rivian. So much nicer to drive on the open road I can't tell you. Even cooler is instead of hunting on the UI screen to change the regen level it is right at your fingertips with instant change available via the paddle shifters. The lowest setting is an off altogether for flat opens roads that felt like putting an ICE vehicle in neutral. I found I could bump up the regen while driving when I wanted to slow down for a car in front kind of like downshifting in a standard manual shifting car of the past. This one feature added to a really fast and comfortable handling car is a game changer for me.

[@earthzero7]

How would the EV6 suspension firmness and quality compare to the Model 3 AWD with 18" wheels?

[@dchow007]

Great review of a car that looks nice. I stopped by the dealer in Burlingame as they called me that they had several in stock. Other than looking at the car and sitting in it, there's not much else to say. They wouldn't turn on the car or schedule a test drive. The sales guy says they are a car company making an electric car and not a technology company (he wouldn't say Tesla). I asked what's the selling price. $10K over MSRP so it would be $62K but did not include the technology package that will add another $1500. The car had gap issues and uneven lines along some of the edges. Paint look good though The interior definitely look better than my model 3 but at $62K before tax and license your getting into model Y pricing. Kia will be sending this dealership 2 cars a month until the end of the year so I don't expect the price to change much. All these great reviews from youtubers but Kia is just like Toyota in trickling EV into the US.

When you open the front trunk lid, you can change the air filter immediately by opening the drawer behind it, which makes replacing the air filter easier than any other car. It's a pity that your review didn't tell us about this.

[@kens97sto171]

I'm wondering how the ionic 5 with more wheelbase can have less interior room in the back seat? Did they use that wheelbase to increase cargo capacity? Kind of unfortunate if that's true. Kind of like the styling of the ionic 5 better and The softer ride would be better for me. Kind of seems like the bargain of the bunch is the smaller battery pack rear wheel drive. If it charges very rapidly also. It wouldn't be such a big deal having less range.

1 thing that has been racking my brain about this car is the frunk size in the U.S... Thanks for the explanation about the crash zone since nobody else likes to explain why, given that in Europe the frunk size for the rear wheel drive is a lot bigger than what we get in the U.S....i gather that in Europe they don't have to go through crash safety inspections...which is kind of scary if you live over there.

Great first look. I prefer the utilitarian shape of the Ioniq 5, but the interior and finish of the EV6. I hope the Genesis GV60 is something of a blend of the two.

Just got an email from Kia for my 1st Edition advising that the car doesn't come with an EVSE. I'm pretty disappointed with them. I know that it's slow, but it should be included.
