@@volcalstone a Model Y is a penalty box to drive. It’s loud, rides like it has concrete for shock absorbers, and has none of the performance-focused features like the Kia. The Y Performance doesn’t offer an active rear differential so there’s no sort of torque vectoring or in snow it has no way of sending power to the wheel with traction other than trying to brake the slipping side to force power sideways. The seats aren’t remotely as supportive, no adaptive dampers, and in real world driving there is almost no difference between the Y and EV6 in terms of range. Tesla claims huge range figures but they’re full of hot air. We had a Y LR AWD at the same time I had my EV6 GT. Both were on 19” wheels. The Kia would go just as far as the Y, but charges 50% faster which is a huge bonus for road trips. I also much prefer the look of the EV6 and the rear seat has much more legroom. You get a HUD, surround parking cameras, parking sensors, multiple radar for cross traffic detection and ACC works in adverse weather with no phantom braking like Teslas. If I were you I would lease the EV6 as they are offering insanely good lease incentives.

@@CFG39 thanks for your reply and insight. I appreciate it. I ended up picking up a GT! I'm loving it so far. I've had it for about a lil over a week now. That GT button is hard to resist that's for sure. I'm mostly driving in normal tho and some sport every now and then. If you haven't yet put on a matte screen protector, you could thx me later. I'm the only one driving this car so the only missing thing for me are vent seats as it gets hot where I'm at during the summer. At least it's not vinyl on the back side tho so that's a good thing at least. I'm planning to tint it all the way around so that will help with the tint and also making it look nicer not that it doesn't already. The GT or EV6 in general isn't perfect like most cars out there. There is some stuff that I don't like about it. No walk away auto-lock which I know there is a mod for it that I'm planning to do as well. The tailgate can't be closed remotely which my prior 2011 car did. No deal breakers tho. These are software issues that could be added on really. Just not sure if Kia will tho. This is my first Kia and EV at the same time. One thing I do wish we had the option for since the screen is so wide is while backing up to have the side cameras on at same time. I know you could switch the video but you would lose the rear camera by doing so. I would rather see the side cameras and the rear at the same time vs the 360 being constantly on there. Like I would rather have the 360 an option instead. As for Tesla. I've been inside a MYP but it was only for a short period. Not enough to really access it. My siblings have a M3, 2 MYLR, and MYP. All I know is that I made the right choice in the family. 😀 Yeah I heard they're rough. I went with the EV6 GT cause of the ride quality. This is kind of like comparing a Pilot vs MDX where the latter just drives nicer and more sporty. I also wanted a better build quality inside and out. No rattles for me so I'm happy. Lastly I wanted Android Auto along with all the tech that you had mentioned. I don't trust Tesla Vision period. I want parking sensors period. I know this cause it saved me lots of times in the past. Yeah I ended up getting it for only $50 after rebates and before taxes. What a great deal imo. It's worth the extra over the MYP. I see Teslas like in every other corner and in some cities like every other car. I like to be different, maybe that's why I'm an Android user.

For reference you can set the auto main beam on which keeps the main beam on but uses adaptive matrix so it doesn’t blind oncoming traffic or cars in front of you. This would have helped doing those speeds. Bjorn was super impressed and he really battered it and it kept its top speed even better and longer than most germans and Teslas with very limited power degradation compared even to a Tesla plaid.

Sure it's fast, but for a road car you just do not need it, particularly with speed limits, it's rediculously overkill. The dual motor 325bhp is already enough for anyone, even a single motor is sufficiently quick with 225 bhp. .

From everything I’m hearing this EV6GT, and the upcoming N’s will be even better performance wise (although fewer lux features than the Genesis). Any of the cars made on this platform are an excellent EV for someone looking to buy one. IMHO the Hyundai group has stolen a march on every US maker with this 800v E-GMP architecture. Especially when you consider all the additional capabilities like V2L that are included. It’s also great that each car has their own styling and look, instead of them being a nearly identical like a set of matruska dolls . If your budget doesn’t allow looking at the German EV’s then it’s basically picking between a Tesla and a Hyundai/Kia/Genesis while we wait for the Chinese made cars to hit our market.

Nerd alert: I have read the shop manual. In the front of the car there is a refrigerant condenser, and a hydronic radiator. The radiator is part of the loop that cools the battery & electronics, and it supplements the refrigerant-fluid heat exchanger in that loop with passive cooling from airflow when the vents are opened in the front. Kyle was right in his assumption.

The better place to test the limits of the car would be on the Nurburgring. Anyone can enter it and unless there is a very specific exclusion, German insurance even covers it. You get to test frequent acceleration and regenerative braking and top speeds, without risking the safety of innocent Autobahn users. It takes just one car to underestimate your speed and get into your lane for you to crash into them. And while going at 260km/h is legal, you will still be deemed 100% at fault if you were above 130km/h.

The battery optimization should have been done before you floor it on the autobahn, you didn't get the whole power, battery was too hot. One thing is for sure, with good enough temperature on the pack you are actually able to maintain full speed for a long time. As you very well said the car "rapidgates". IT does that at 51 degrees celsius and caps the max output to 230kw after a while. When you got out of the charger even on My Mode ou didn't get the 439kw max discharge because it was too hot, that's why you only saw arround 370kw. Still... this is nitpicking, it's pretty much a beast anyway. Very good car. Would get it over the i4M50 anytime.

Previously eGMP vehicles could not charge at all on V3 chargers. It was a Hyundai/Kia software update that allowed them to charge initially at 50 kW and it was a promised additional tougher update that would allow them to charge to 100 kW. Tesla did not enable anything on their V3 chargers to allow these vehicles to go from not charging to charging 50 kW, so it would not make sense that it is Tesla restricting the power. It’s not Tesla style either to reconfigure their equipment to work better with other manufacturers. There supercharger access philosophy has always been if your vehicle can charge on our superchargers.. Great if you can’t too bad. This also is likely the main issue why Hyundai/Kia has not moved to NACS in the USA until this issue has been figured out or V4 have been widely deployed.

V2 SuC give you around 90kW, V3 give you 44kW. Completely pointless to go to a SuC with an eGMP car. There are countless 1000V chargers everywhere, they are usually in better locations and you dont need an app. Also, if you drive in Europe you need an RFID charging card. No preauthorisation, works everywhere (except SuC) and better price (I pay 29ct with the "Charge MyHyundai" card).

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is said to have even better cooling and more power than the Kia EV6 GT, let see that review smoking on the autobahn!
@baianojack11 ай бұрын
I want to know how well the Ioniq 5N handles though. The EV6 GT handles like a dream on just about any road. Clearly I haven’t driven the N, but the base 5 and the 6 don’t come even close. That is more important for me as I will rarely be able to get up to these speeds to pull all the power the pack has

For my EV6 RWD, it definitely wants to have a larger radiator and/or fan. The bottleneck it seems to me is the coolant temp rather than the compressor power. The AC compressor also runs right at 100C+ in hot weather so it’s probably thermally limiting too. I’ve considered modding the car to add a second radiator and fan. Doing that correctly wouldn’t be easy though.

Being in the middle lane at that speed is a bit irresponsible (risk of inner lane merging), normally in Germany you should only go that fast in the outer lane and only seek the middle lane if someone is going faster than you.

Hmm. Even when overheated, this car can _maintain_ more than twice the power output of my car can peak at (similar with charging). On the other hand, I'm probably not the target audience of a car like this and it would be a shame to waste this car by driving it around at 130km/h.
