Very nice improvements. KIA and Hyundai are doing really great work with their EVs.

@M-hq9xz Ай бұрын

Yea, but the problem is that they look more and more ugly (EV5, EV3, Inster, Ioniq 6, Ioniq 9). I rather trust the Germans in terms of design.

@tesla-spectre Ай бұрын

Generally yes, but their 12V batteries and ICCUs have substantial problems. Friend of mine drove EV6 GT and gave it back after enormous problems, now has a 5N and again 12V issues.

Really nice to see, that KiA was able to improve the biggest disadvantages. I really need to consider, to swap my 2022 EV6🤔🤔🤔🤔

@elektrischverhaal5166 Ай бұрын

Here also already 100K with the previous model. There are definitely improvements, but I am still going to stay with my current one just for the depreciation. Already did this exercise when switching from my Hyundai Kona EV to my EV6. Cost me some money anyway, so am not going to do it again considering the upgrade now are not earth-shattering either but I definitely understand your feeling.

@markgeezey1809 Ай бұрын

If you go into the settings regarding head up display you can activate the augmented reality setting which is the same as the previous model and works really well with the built-in sat nav. Showing large and clear arrows illuminating exits etc. Surprised Kia didn’t mention this to you considering you said the EV9 didn’t have it which it also has. Considering upgrading my 2022 EV6 GT to the newer model. And great you’re reviewing it to see the actual differences. 👍👍 great the Meridian system is much better as was a weak point. Plus now it has wireless apple CarPlay and Android auto. 🙏🏻

What I am wondering if you know is If the new HUD supports 3rd party maps like Waze and Google maps. On a different thread the reply I got was that since the new facelift uses the ev9 infontainment system then 99% it does. However I couldn’t verify it so far..

@markgeezey1809 Ай бұрын

@ the old one definitely doesn’t, but if it does on the EV9 and the EV3 then in all honesty it should. I would have thought the new Ioniq5 facelift would give a confirmation if it does or not? Be so good to have it though and preheating to chargers using other maps🤞🤞🙏🏻.

@thomasjessen Ай бұрын

I wish you in general would do more into the autopilot systems in the different cars. How do they work, how easy are the buttons to use and finally make a comparison. An ev today without a very good autopilot is completely irrelevant to me.

@berthogendoorn2133 Ай бұрын

Just heard today that North American 2025 Kia EV6 has NACS Tesla charging port moved to the rear driver's side, awesome as here in Canada the CCS 350KW chargers are few and we could see 10 to 80% in 27 t 30 minutes on Tesla version 3 Supercharger as Kia / Hyundia have improved the rear motor inverter to improve charging performance on the 400 volt Super chargers.

@susihormon7821 Ай бұрын

A perfect car includes Service by the dealer. Since the ICCU fails quite often, you have lots of stops with this car. Some wait 3 month for the replacement. Every 30.000km you entering the Deathzone. Now about 2 years ago Korea is not solving the problem. Don't buy a Korean 800V until they fix the hardware. Software will not cure. It will postpone the defect to the time after guarantee. Repaircost are high. 6000€ more or less.

@UgglemannenFTW Ай бұрын

Yeah considering Hyundai are recalling 145k of ioniq 5 and Genesis for that. They also already recalled ev6 for ICCU problems which still havnt fixed it for many.

@Vollhirni Ай бұрын

Interesting to see, that the raise in consumption between 90 and 120 is 37% more Energy when going 33% faster. I would have expected a higher toll for higher speeds, especially in a SUV Style car with 255mm wide tires. Interesting.

From what I understand, Battery "physical" size and weight is same as 22-24 car, Butr the CHemestry in the battery increased size to about 84 kwh (I believe 82 usable), and most of the weight gain is more sound dampening. I'm waiting for this car to come on sale, and I want to pick one up (I had Ioniq 5 Limited ut that lease ended in July (I think car comes on sale in Mid January and should be in dealersx around February or March in US? I hope its here earlier though.

@KS-vk5pc Ай бұрын

I don’t like it, not inside and not exterior. After Model 3 was released in 2016(?) I’ve loved that way to make a car. I got my own i 2019, enjoyed it from the first day. Then I got my Model Y in 2021, thats not a premium car, soundproofing is bad and so, but its a very simple and good car, made the way I want it. Its clean inside and simple to use, and for me autopilot does a good job, every day. And I can live with not so good soundproofing and not ventilation in seat.
