There is only one reason to avoid the pre facelift model: the faulty ICCU that is quite common can be a pain in the behind.

[@aldozilli1293]

​​@@vgstbyes it's funny you never hear any journalists mention these issues. Same with Ioniq 5. He even says they have amazing reliability. Kia and Hyundai clearly pay off these journalists to be nice. I had a Model 3 then got an Ioniq 5 for't wife and Ev6 GT for me. The Tesla is far behind in general quality and warranty. However I had no end of issues with the 12V going dead (ICCU issue?) in the Ioniq leaving us stranded several times. Also the app, interfaces are far better in the Tesla. I'm glad Kia have sorted the wireless car play, this is a small but important change. Tbf, the EV6 and Ioniq 5 are much more comfortable than the model 3, the seat designer is a genius.

[@volcalstone]

​@@aldozilli1293I got the EV6 GT earlier this year and no major issues yet, knock on wood. I took it in for that recall on the ICCU and luckily it was just a software update only.

[@gavinwhite9743]

Make sure you install a home charger first, and ideally switch to a cheap overnight tariff for charging. If you are going to do that, add a battery for your home that also charges overnight to use during the more expensive daytime tariff. Solar is the last piece of the puzzle, but as it generates typically 10kw a day, it could take 5 or 6 days to fully charge your car( could top it up though). I have all 3, and I'm very happy with life.😁

[@philcotswold5940]

Both the Kia and the Genesis are a good choice. Look at the used market plenty of choice and save yourself a lot of money. We personally went for the Genesis due to its size and quality build.

Nice updates but the launch car drives just as well and now will be the time to get a very attractive deal on the older model - buying or leasing. It is an exceptional market leading car in my opinion. Kia have this nailed on at this moment in time.

[@cb4675]

Would you pick this or Ioniq6 (both with single motor)?

[@matobi91]

Once my lease on my Ioniq 5 ends this would be at the top of my list for a replacement. But Deals on the NHS lease seem to be £100pm more than things like the Ioniq 5 and 6, BYD deal, enyaq and Renault scenic for some reason so may have to pass which is a shame, love the entire car package!

You mean the Ioniq 5 N. There are/have been many N models including the Veloster, i20, i30 and a couple of others

[@volcalstone]

look sare always subjective. To me the N cars have always been a little too much in design for me. If I was younger yeah sure but now that I'm older I like the more subtle look for the EV6 GT myself which is why I ended up getting that instead of the upcoming 5 N earlier this year. Plus for the US market they made way too many compromises like now HUD and Vision Roof. 🤔🙄

I had heard that the rear view mirror was now a Wide screen Monitor not a standard mirror?? Like on the Telluride.

[@paulstaniford8622]

It’s a long car which is certainly noticeable when trying to park the car in the supermarket carparks. It’s a monster due to it’s length and usually sticks out of spaces.

[@stizzygrayson5541]

I've done some research. The EV6 is almost exactly the same length as a Skoda Octavia, approx 10mm narrower, and slightly taller. So it is not excessively large and substantially smaller than the new Skoda Superb/Volkswagon Passat.

[@justinbennett486]

Why is boot space practicality in terms of carry on suitcases, not proper full sized suitcases? Same with hire cars, arriving to find the boot absolutely cannot hold the cases you have! Most families travel with full sized cases, which suddenly becomes a problem in many cars.

[@amperformance7998]

I took my family (2 adults, 2 teens) on a 2 week road trip and the boot space was sufficient for all our luggage and a full size spare wheel. I think the reason they use carry-on size bags for comparisons is because a smaller unit allows for more differentiation between models.

[@lmaoroflcopter]

What dimensions are a full size suitcase? Airlines usually specify a weight limit for checked baggage. I have a huge suitcase, a large suitcase that fits inside the huge one, a medium one that's inside of that and a small one inside of that, plus a cabin sized one. All of them have been used (aside from the cabin sized one) as checked luggage. Given cabin sized suitcases are of a certain size (within a few cm). That probably explains why they use cabin suitcases. You can given the size of cabin suitcases is known within a few cm, come to your own conclusion to see if your particular full size suitcase will fit.

[@27lacuna27]

So glad they added a button for turning off the speed limit warning noise! Hopefully its durable, because that is going to be the most used button in the car 🤣

[@amperformance7998]

I’m not sure if it is still an option on the facelift EV6 with the new infotainment system, but the trick on my old EV6 was not to turn the system off (because it automatically comes back on with every start), but to “mute” the alert volume. That way you don’t have to turn it off every time, and it eliminates the bongs.

[@stevep4131]

I'd heard that the lane keeping bongs were more annoying with the worn out line markings and country roads in the UK?

[@slo007]

Very nice, but crazy expensive for a small KIA SUV. Still out of range of what I would consider a reasonable replacement for our ICE cars.

[@amperformance7998]

Bear in mind, it is not a small SUV. Passenger space is similar to large sedans, and cargo space is similar to medium SUVs.

[@harry7384]

[@peterscott2662]

@@amperformance7998 Do you live where you get snow in winter? I'd go for the Ioniq 5 instead, just becuase it gets a wiper.

[@amperformance7998]

​@@peterscott2662 I don't currently live in a snowy region, but I spent 30 years in northern Minnesota so I know what driving in snow is like. Because of the size and angle of the rear window, all but the lightest dusting of snow would overwhelm a rear wiper. Light snow is easy enough to wipe off or you just let it blow off as you drive. Heavy or icy snow would be too much for the wiper so you'd have to brush or scrape it anyway. As for road spray in the winter, we do get heavy rain and have dirty roads where I live and the aero does a really good job of keeping spray off the rear window. In 2 years of ownership, driving in rain, on dirt, behind trucks, I have never needed to clean the rear window. It is more like a sedan than a hatch in that regard and nobody complains that a sedan hasn't got a rear wiper. I really like the Ioniq 5, it was my original choice, and there are many good reasons to choose the 5 over the EV6. But choosing it just for the rear wiper is a little silly.

[@demiquadfpv3333]

Great car except for the UK luxury car tax will be on all of them adding over £2k to the prices now we won't have ev exemption! This makes the base model it £4700 more than the Ionic 5 and £11500 more than the Skoda 😯

Kia/Hyundai have been having 12V issues since the original Ioniq EV and PHEVs. Mine has been boosted 8 times in 3 years by the roadside people. I ended up buying a little 5w solar panel and put it up in the window when parked so it keeps the battery topped up a bit and the voltage high enough to start the vehicle and get the DC-DC conversion going from the traction battery. Another option is just to leave the vehicle running while charging which keeps the 12V battery charging, but remember to unplug near 100 or very quickly because my Ioniq will switch to accessory mode the moment it's done charging and drain the 12V again even though it's plugged in.

It's not like you have to charge it 10% to 80% every time you charge it.

At the destination you can then leave to charge for a longer time for the return trip. Even if you have to charge it for 18 minutes, then you already have long ride behind you and can well have a rest and/or a snack. 18 minutes passes by really fast at a stop with a break.

(Trouble is they might fix the problem in their latest model but not want to mention it for fear of underlining the problem in the used market.) You'd think a serious and independent review of a new model would look into this issue..............

@@stevep4131 Looks like my earlier comment got deleted for linking to Kia's press release. The pre-facelift model has ICCU part number 364011XFB0 and facelift has 364011XFB5. The part numbers were read via OBD.

The Germans are not number 1 anymore. The best electric car in Europe, not the world. They mostly in china 😂

360mi is 580km. Range is finally getting comfortable. Now make it cheap.
