Kia EV6 | Ride & Drive - Driving Assist Features

[@michaelgoetz7506]

Background: I've owned this car for a bit over two months. With regards to the self parking, the biggest problem with this car is that the owner's manual does a poor job of explaining the details of how these systems work. Lots of owners, collaborating online, have pieced together how it all works. To address some of the not-so-helpful content about the parking systems in this video: (Few reviewers take the time to learn how it works, and it's not their fault.) 1) The reason the car stopped backing up into the parking space around the 6 minute mark is that if you're doing this from outside the car, you have to stay close to the car. Once it got a certain distance from the key fob, the car stopped. 2) It does NOT read the lane lines It will only pull straight backwards or straight forwards using the two buttons on the key fob. 3) It DOES have the ability to autonomously park in a straight-in spot like that, but only when there's solid objects like cars next to the space. It can't read the paint lines to tell where the spot is. Also, this is initiated by pushing and holding the parking camera button from inside the car. It's not very good at this party trick, however. You're better off parking it yourself unless the spot is too tight to let you exit the car. 4) It can autonomously pull into or out of a parallel parking spot, also by pushing and holding the parking camera button. It does this well. Better than I can, honestly. The second part of the video describing the HDA2 (Highway Driving Assist 2) and LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) features was dead on. The car does a good job of following lanes on the highway, and following the car in front of you. It's very, very good (but not perfect) at avoiding cars impinging on your lane. It will, for example, squeeze over to one side if a car is getting to close on the other side. It can autonomously take evasive steering action, as well as autonomous emergency braking. There's no phantom braking problem like there is on some other cars. It does a really good job of warning you about safety problems, such as when you're drifting over a line, or if you put on a turn signal and there's a car in your blindspot. The radar tracking line on the HUD shows you which car the cruise control is following. It really inspires confidence when you see it switch to the car that just cut in front of you -- as well as the deceleration to avoid said car. Most owners don't see the point of the automatic lane changing. Yes, it works. But it's easier (and faster) to turn the wheel than to wait for the car to change lanes for you. The other parts of HDA2 are really helpful, however, and make long trips much easier. The blindspot cameras that get displayed on the instrument cluister are activated by the turn signals. The cameras give you a really good wide angle view of the lane next to you. Perhaps this will encourage people to use turn signals more often??? It reads speed limit signs and displays the speed limit in the instrument cluster and on the HUD. It can, if you wish, change speeds automatically when the speed limit changes. I'm not fond of this feature. It's not so great being the only car that slows down. Under the right conditions, on cruise control, it will slow down to take steep turns.

[@Wasabi9111]

I have the Ioniq 5 version and love HDA. It makes driving long distance so much easier and it’s the best system of all the cars we have within our extended family. It’s smooth and easy to use/understand. My husband has a polestar 2 and that’s the worst system ever. It’s improved a lot w ota updates, but it still sux!

About the Tesla lane change being abrupt, is more about committing than anything else. It used to be more gentle but would often fail in complex scenarios so as it got better Tesla focused on fast execution over comfort.

If you want feel old lane change, use Navigate on AP, self initialed lane changes, it's pretty slow compared to user initiated. For even more crazy lane changes, try FSD beta, it's wild 😜

[@ewkplymi]

The Adaptive Cruise Control also stays on when driving in city traffic. It requires no accelerator or braking by the driver and simply follows the stop and go of the car in front of you. If you come to a complete stop, you have to use the accelerator pedal or click the cruise control (+) button on the steering wheel to start up again but the Adaptive Cruise Control stays turned on. It is one of the best features on the car. I have a 2022 Ioniq 5 but I would assume that the EV6 operates in the same manner.

[@markplott4820]

good luck with that when it strikes a pedestrian.

[@michaelgoetz7506]

@@markplott4820 It's actually very good at avoiding pedestrians, both in front of and behind the core. It works exceptionally well. It's more attentive than most drivers. It tracks motorcycles too. I haven't had first hand experience with bicycles, but since it detects pedestrians and motorcycles, it probably can see those as well. It will hit the brakes, hard, when a person steps into the path of the car.

Really annoys me when "reviewers" who do not fully understand how the features work start to do videos about them, you can't let the car get too far away from you (the remote) when remote parking, just because you have a Tesla doesn't mean every other electric car is going to work the same (thank god)

Yes, a partially useful video, but he shouldn’t call himself an ‘expert’ if he doesn’t know how things work.

[@dougk5456]

Great job of reviewing the controls. Something I can see that is needed is a standard for display icons and placement. When you go from vehicle to vehicle one should not have to hunt for where the indicators are or what they mean. For older people, like me, one can get confused and possibly make a wrong move thinking that an indicator is showing one thing when it is not truly relevant.

[@ContraVsGigi]

I think the icons are standard. At leat I can recognize some of those without ever being in a Kia/Hyundai. Don't know about Tesla.

Hi Chris, thanks for a great video. The car comes across as being a bit noisy on the road, what's your thoughts, how does it compare to the Eniro or Ioniq 5. I appreciate it's hard to recall as it's a been a while now. Keep it going.

Yes. More on-road tests like this please.

[@ryanehoward]

These videos are really informative. One thing that would be nice, I realize that you guys JUST tried out the EQS. However, the EV6 doesn't complete in the same class. It would be much more informative if you could compare this other vehicles in the class like the ID.4 or the Mach-E.

[@John-sh7rh]

I like the side camera view pop-up on the instrument panel in front of you when indicate to change lanes. If you can't get rid of mirrors then this is good.

[@davidhes]

It stopped reversing because of the range. You need to basically walk the car into the spot. Seems to only allow for a range of a few feet at most from the car when using the remote outside. I guess it must be some kind of safety feature.

[@theredmonkey]

Always informative, great video.

[@commanderroddi7742]

I"ve seen car pull into parking lot from a 90 degree angle, its a bit slow but there is a process for it. you drive by the spot, pick the spot, and then hold teh button. the forward/backward button will just do straight to pull in or out, but the car can stree into either a parking spot ina parking lot or paralel park.

[@disturbed4733]

Wish you would have shown what happens to lane centering when the right lane marking disappears for a while, such as when another road is merging onto the highway. My Subaru simply beeps and disables until the right lane marking reappears. My Tesla Autopilot would re-center to the right using two lanes and blocking the merging traffic, which triggered a lot of horn honking from the merging traffic, which hated and was one of the 3-4 reasons I sold it.

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

Tesla did fix that eventually.

[@Dochart268]

Hello new owner here of an EV6 GT line. did you get an official comment from Kia on why it wouldn't park itself?

[@dennisfahey2379]

I'd imagine the aggressiveness of the lane changing is algorithmic and culturally biased. Some cultures being more aggressive drivers than others. The KIA seems to take the perspective of comfortable touring and good driver etiquette. It signals for a few seconds to inform the surrounding vehicles, then if the coast is clear does the lane change over a longer distance. This is a smooth, leisurely transition that is good for passenger comfort and the other drivers on the road.

[@bilgyno1]

Well... Use it for some time and your opinion may change. The lane change is extremely cautious and fails for very annoying reasons. Give a little bit of steering input (which happens easily when reaching for the indicator stalk) and it won't work. Hold the steer too loosely, and it won't work. If there's a car coming from behind in the lane you're moving into: it won't work, even if the car is 100s meters away and there's plenty of space/time to accelerate. Here, the slowness of the system doesn't help, because it often happens a lane change is aborted half way for oncoming traffic. A human driver would just accelerate a bit and complete the lane change. Finally, lots of road segments and lines are not supported. When it does work (very quiet roads, good line visibility) it is nice and relaxing. But way too many situations where it doesn't work. Hoping for updates for my Ioniq 5 here...

[@lakefiftyseven]

13:24 53% battery 119m range -> real 100% range is 225m (360km) at 72mph (115km/h). Advertised 10-80% fast charge adds 157m or 252km range in 18minutes which you need to do every 2h.

[@jimwilt4944]

Like all EVs, this is temperature and speed dependent. Mine gets between 250-270 depending on how aggressive I am. On long trips I can go about 3.5 hours, though the choice of when to stop will be dictated by where the DC chargers are. It will be rare to experience an 18-minute 20-80% charge. Many of the DC chargers will not give you the full beans, even when advertised as 350kw. I’d count more on 25-30 minutes unless you find a good spot that doesn’t throttle output.

And surround view - I miss that the most.

[@alanrogers7090]

Since this car has the "split" spoiler above the rear window, I'm wondering why Kia didn't place the rear-facing camera in the center support, instead of where they did at the bottom of the car. A higher wide angle camera makes more sense to me than a low camera does. A higher camera can able to see farther away than a low camera. I'm surprised that Kia doesn't make the screen that shows your car's surroundings have a color-matched visual. The driver is in a red car, but the screen defaults to a white car. This ia an expensive vehicle, you would think that a color-match would be standard. I've only seen this once before, on a first generation Aston Martin Lagonda that featured this same technology, but the car, which was maroon, appeared black on the screen. Unlike the Kia, the surrounding cars did not seem like a giant's toys.

[@CutterSlade001]

If the camera were in the spoiler there would be a blind spot and you would not be able to see small children and such directly behind the car, which is the original intention of those cameras.

[@roddlez]

The choices: KIA: Building cars with features for the driver that Tesla had four years ago... Tesla: Building cars for a future where you don't have to have a driver... In the end, one of these will be obsolete, while the other will remain relevant.

[@dennisfahey2379]

Interesting comments. You know for most of us ADAS is changing so fast we are not tracking the milestones and caveats. What would be a valuable service is to create a Munro test track / benchmark and give the cars a Sandy-Score! The track would simulate whatever NHTSA does plus user opinion as shown here. So create a matrix of challenge conditions to exacerbate the stimulate ADAS responses. Go down the check list of what car/feature levels/ functions are advertised and met, etc. All cars go through the same gauntlet with zero bias or exceptions. Then Consumer Reports up a SandyScore! I really actually feel sorry for Tesla's overpromotion of their ADAS. Calling it Autopilot evoked certain assumptions and it worked so damn well it seemed sentient and invincible. But of course it has limits. No ADAS can handle road construction with lane divides not the intended route. Nor could they handle emegency situations where Emegency vehicles and personnel are moving in and out of traffic lanes. In those situations I'd expect a driver to take full control.

I don't think the summon feature steers into a spot? I thought it's for when a spot is too tight, you can get out and move in front/back into a spot? It probably saw those lines and didn't want to cross them.

The cost of the camera's is not the problem with the cost of the car. Camera's are CHEAP.

@@TheEvilmooseofdoom It's not just cameras-- it's all the sensors, the drive by wire controls, the R&D, the computers and other hardware, the AI driving, the automated parking, ect. ect.. They've spent all this time creating a system that is not needed. All I want is a very simple motor and controller and battery= THAT'S IT .. Give me hand crank windows, manual locks and manually adjustable seats. WE don't need a space ship--- we need something that moves down the road, and is super cheap... It needs to be totally standardized, with the same controller, same motor and same battery across several brands.. and they need to make millions of them. FOR CHEAP. China will end up doing it, just watch

When remote parking you are standing to far away from it.
