Hi mate, how have you gotten on with the public charging stations? I occasionally will travel 200 miles to stay with friends. I quite fancy the EV6, its a lot of car for not a lot of money but the whole charging thing has my back up; considering a hybrid but not sure I should just go full EV and be done with.

I've had an EV6 GT for a fortnight now (first one at my local dealer). Previously I was driving a Porsche 997. The KIA EV GT is simply astonishing. It's bonkers fast when you want it to be, handles brilliantly despite the weight (which you really don't feel due to the adaptive suspension), but is equally good if you slip it into ECO mode at cruising or crawling (silently) through traffic. It's also beautifully built inside, properly as good as Audi or BMW. I'm really glad I waited to get an EV, because I suspect I might have been disappointed with earlier cars. This however is the real deal. Most impressive is the obvious care that has gone into engineering this. The European manufacturers need to be very worried about KIA and Hyundai if this is what their engineers can produce. You can tell that KIA have let the real 'car guys' to have their way on this car and it shows. I came across someone driving a Guilia QF the other day, a car I really lusted after at one time. Now my only thought was 'what's the point of cars like that anymore?' I took my 997 out the other day, expecting to have missed it, and to be honest, it was a bit underwhelming after the EV6! It's that good.

Agree completely. I bought one a week and a half ago and love it. I have owned performance BMWs for the past 30 years and I had an order in for an i4 M50, which is a great car but… I ordered the i4 last summer, it is still nowhere near production and I got tired of waiting. Saw the EV6 GT on the showroom floor, took a test drive and that was that. The car has amazing tech, crazy acceleration, outstanding build quality and sleek good looks. I love the Recaro-like bucket seats. I’m also getting a little better range projection than stated. The best part is saving many thousands of dollars versus the BMW and I don’t feel like I have given up anything except the badge. In many ways, I prefer the EV 6 - better frontal visibility, better HUD, better cockpit (for me), better warranty, faster charging…this car is an accomplishment.

@@09237462616364727 it’s metallic black Eric. The EV6 has real road presence. As well as the BAC Mono and 997 I also have an original (non PAS) NSX so I appreciate cars that handle well. The EV6 GT can hold its own amongst those cars which is an amazing achievement for KIA. Despite being heavy like most EVs having the weight low down and central is a massive head start to get good handling. I also like the fact that it has the practicality of a mid sized SUV but isn’t too tall (or too long like a Taycan) It’s also a bit alternative being a KIA which appeals to me.

But being an EV6 owner myself, with just the humble rearwheel drive, I can confirm that even that is a pleasure to drive on twisty mountain roads (test performed in Provence), so I can only imagine how brilliant this car must be! And yes, I might be tempted to at rent this GT for a long weekend of fun! - and to all the comments about the price: just look at the price difference for e.g. the Golf GTI compared to a normal Golf, I believe it is not dissimilar! This is not a car for the masses, but for those who want to have that sort of fun, while being able to transport their family too! ;-)

My only gripe is that in the UK Kia has decided to limit its colour to the two dullest, white and black. Kia, if you ever read comments, this is the one reason why I'm not buying the GT. If I'm buying a performance car, I don't want it to look like everything else, and at £62.5K I don't expect to wrap or paint it myself.

10:30 - Yep. My wife likes to accelerate hard and go fast (and keep HVAC at "full blast" at opposite-of-outside, so either full AC in Summer or full heat in Winter.) In our EVs that adjust range estimate based on recent driving, we can have up to a 100% difference in range estimates. In our old BMW i3, when she would drive it for a while, it would say 50 miles of range when charged to 100%. When I'd drive it more conservatively, I could get it to read over 100 miles. (We had to upgrade to a longer-range vehicle when we moved and her commute increased to 26 miles each way.)

When I can go out to my local Toyota dealer and purchase a petrol Corolla for 17k € flat, I don't see the point of looking at electric cars for the foreseeable future. Nothing in that car is worth the additional 43k €. Although electricity's cheaper than gas, I'd still be looking at roughly 30 years of usage and maintenance for the corolla until I'd reach price parity with this Kia; and then that same Kia would be 30 years old and in need of constant maintenance / new battery over the years as well. For those capable of basic math it doesn't make any financial sense to jump onto these "luxury" sedans, crossover or SUV-types, at all.

Brilliant review. Thank you. Absolutely love this car (might have even ordered one) and you’ve picked out some of the key points that make it so attractive to a middle-aged dad who also loves driving and Scottish highland roads. Current car is mapped Skoda superb which combines the same elements of ludicrous practicality and comfort with a secret dose of madness when the family has been left at home. The GT offers the same engagement (the flappy paddles for regen are a work of genius for the driver who wants engagement) and then takes it to another level of insanity (errr excitement). For me, that makes this car a no brainer entry into the world of EV for someone who is not concerned about the badge but wants a grin on their face. I’ve been a little anxious about range figures (remember I mentioned the highlands?) but you seem to have confirmed my suspicions. 200 or so when put through its paces, but nearer 250 when talked down a little. What’s not to like? Only the wait time for delivery :)

The EV race is going to give a lot of manufacturers the opportunity to finally jump ahead of very well known brands. Kia/Hyundai have had great innovations within the past 5-7 years, including their new Genesis brand. However, they could not compete in terms of power to the big dogs since their engine uses very old tech, so even though it had the raw horsepower, it was very fuel inefficient. Kia/Hyundai also did not have the best transmissions to handle loads of power. The DCT in the Veloster N and Elantra N are more recent and even those cannot handle 400hp+ very easily. The EV game flattens the playing field a lot more. Power? Electric motor. No problem. Transmissions? Single speed, maybe 2 speeds, done. Fuel economy? Electric. That's it. I've always loved Kia/Hyundai designs and technologies. I just never liked how slow their cars were to the competition. Now with the EV6 GT, we're talking a $75k car competing with cars in the $200-$500k price range even.

Robert - have you slyly changed the date for the Vancouver Fully Charged Live show? It was supposed to be in September but the graphic on this video shows May.

16:41 was that a speed camera while you were crossing a full yellow line (again), hopefully not speeding? Great car. Drove a KIA e-niro lately and that was already sensational in sport mode. Out-accelerated a Tesla X.

Been excited for this since Kia released that clip of it dragging against the McLaren. But don't know if I can do manual seats and no seat ventilation...

Fully Charged Vancouver is going to be on May 19th, 20th and 21st? I thought it was going to be in late summer or autumn of 2023. Also doesn't this overlap with the Fully Charged United Kingdom North show happening at Harrogate on those same days? What's up?

interesting pricing. here in the Czech Republic the GT starts at 1.8mio CZK which is roughly 75000 and fully specced (not much to spec though) is about 1.9 mio. The Model Y in comparable spec (performance) is spot on the same price. 🤷‍♂️ and we have no subsidies here and average salary is 1/3 of that eg in Germany (not sure about UK)

Model Y Performance has basically the same HP. I like what Kia did, but why do people talk about it as it is unprecedented?
@ncr79
@ncr79 Жыл бұрын
Same with model 3 performance. Has even slightly better performance than this, price is slightly lower than entry price of this and looks way better than the Kia. But there seems to be a trend not to mention Tesla on car shows. Rather silly and ignorent.

The car looks awesome, but driving a regular EV6 I can say the climate/nav toggle is painful to use and have read several others complain as well. I miss having physical buttons.

I drive a Kia Stinger and this is the first EV car that I would realistically consider and that I can afford. All the qualities and needs that I looked for and love about my Stinger is also in this car. The only thing that is a big minus for me is the lack of a front trunk space unlike some other EV cars on the market and for a bespoke EV platform, I think that is a big oversight. I would love to be able to store small loose items that always stay in the car as well as charging cables and accesories in the front trunk and keep the back trunk empty for larger items and looking clean and tidy.
