You're probably already aware, but wireless Apple Car Play is an easy and inexpensive fix with one of the available Bluetooth adapters. Just plug it into the USB port and keep your phone in your pocket. We use the Terran BT wireless adapter, but there are others as well. BT adapters for Android Auto too. Don't forget to delete the EV6/BT connection on your phone when you add the adapter. There's even an adapter that'll not only allow you to wirelessly connect your phone, but it'll turn your entertainment screen into a full-blown tablet (although it's more expensive). Great videos!

I think Hyundai (HMC) is making a BIG move with Kia from affordable car into mid-high range EV. And the EV6 is their first major player...but Kia is supposed to have ELEVEN models of EVs by '26. And the EV6 lineup isn't even complete yet. I'm wondering what the GT is going to run. I'm thinking at least 80-90k so they're creeping into that supercar/luxury market. I too remember Kia being kind of a joke. Oh, did you get your Kia from a bubble gum machine? They did have some almost cheap vehicles & some strange designs. So it's been fun watching that company grow. From a company manufacturing like $15k cars into a company going all in with the EV market. I do hope they kinda go with the Samsung business model.....a phone in ALL classes. Can get a Samsug A model phone for $200 bucks or can get the S22 Ultra for like $1600 and almost every price point in between. I know my '23 goal is to probably get me a '22 EV6 GT AWD. I'm hoping when the '23 EV market hits that the '22 EV6 drops a good amount. But right now my online build is about 58k.

If it’s an around town vehicle, MME is probably preferred whereas if road trips are the common norm, EV6 may take the cake due to charging being fast. Both are great options. One area the MME is significantly better is branding, I didn’t feel badly spending $50k+ on a Ford like I do on a Kia lol.

He has a nice looking ride! It may need 21”s. I thought 20”s would look great but there is still a lot of sidewall. Idk, still unsure if I want to do anything with our wheels. It would look great but I may need that money for our rivian lol.

Just got back from the Kia dealership (Calavan Kia West in Ga) and they had the nerve to add a $14,000 mark up to the EV6 wind. Kia needs to do something about these dealer mark ups…

Very nice car, it's on our radar, can you tell us if the rear wiper is really missing?
@EVandChill2 жыл бұрын
There is no rear wiper but the rear wiper is sloped enough where it doesn’t need it. The Ioniq 5 is different in that it wasn’t sloped very much so it needs a rear wiper.

Good overview of your first-hand experiences! One note that's become more obvious as time goes on: Too many car reviewers give car-makers a pass on branding vinyl as something else. Vegan leather = vinyl = plastic. That's not a knock against vinyl per se, it's just that it sounds goofy when people try to pass it off as something better, like someone who paid $20 for a "Coach" bag and tries to convince everyone it's authentic. Somewhere, marketers are laughing at the fact that people are paying over $50k for cars with vinyl seats. I'm looking forward to the day when an automaker puts real leather in an EV. For this kind of money, we should be getting real leather, or at least have the option. Do we really have to go to Porsche or BMW in order to get something that a $30k Accord has as standard?

I'm selling my Audi with leather interior to get an EV6 and I don't feel like Kia (or Tesla) is doing it as a cost-cutting measure so much as an environmental statement, since that's frequently the sort of thing that's important to people shopping EVs. I like leather, but I honestly doubt they're saving all that much money on the materials.
@scottjentsch2 жыл бұрын
@@mattpalmer8058 I think you’re illustrating my point perfectly. Instead of calling it vinyl, they call it “vegan leather,” which hopes to appeal to those who think that it will save the lives of the animals that would be the source of the leather. Based on everything I’ve read, the leather would likely have come from animals that are already being used for other purposes, so using the leather would actually make better use of a resource that is already being used. No more animals likely die just to make leather seats. But instead, the marketers have managed to sell you on the idea that creating something new out of plastic is somehow better for the environment/world while providing a lesser product that is most likely also a lower expense for them to makers. That’s brilliant marketing. That was my point.

I check one out at the Kia dealership near me in Vegas, I like the outside and the screen in the front but the seat are not comfortable and the materials inside don’t look or feel premium for a 50000 car. The rear seat we not good at all, no room under the front seat for your feet, the floor was high so your knees are up and no thighs support. Plus the dealership had a 17000 dealer mark-up….crazy. I’m not buying this car for 67000 before taxes and registration
