Seriously, this is the only car review channel that I will watch every review - even if I don’t care one bit about the subject vehicle. Absolutely the best when it comes to specs & tech.
I'll never buy an electric car, but because the review was done by Sarah I'll watch this review.
I come for Sarah not the car!
I could not agree more!
Agree 100%
Your charging comparison segment was really cool. You're right; that data isn't easy to come by. Thanks! 👍
The front and rear transmissions are divorced but at these they are still talking to each other.
Well, it's for the kids.
Just the greatest channel and content creator 😊 much respect ✊
Reallly liked how you turned on the exterior lighting when you raised it on the lift… production creativity! That torque experience during the beans test must rival the space shuttle’s liftoff. Love the exterior color. Great review. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
I’m so glad you enjoy reviewing EV’s! I just bought a used model 3 here in NH (merchants Hooksett if you’re familiar with southern NH) for a killer deal because it sat for 3+ months. Not much public charging past the concord area yet. It’s made for a great A-B daily!
@@AmericanNationalist852 I will never understand why people like you shit on comments where the person is obviously happy. Why do you care so much to try and steal that away? Weirdo
I bought my 240sx in highschool at a used car lot in Hooksett. 🫡
Sarah is funny and brilliant. I’m a fan.
I’ve had an EV6 for 2.5 months (GT-Line RWD cuz range). It’s pretty awesome. Ditto on Meridian. It’s not a loud/boom system, but it has excellent positional accuracy and reference quality. The frunk fits my lvl1 cable, tire mobility kit, V2L adapter, and a Tesla to CCS adapter. My kids put up their roller coaster arms, and i remote back them out of the garage. I also always win merge contests. My 2023 came with the charger, though I would like a light that illuminates the charging port.
Ditto on the unlit charging port. It’s annoying to fumble around in the dark trying to plug in, and having to use my phone flashlight to find the the button to close the door. That’s a small complaint though, and maybe the only one I have. The EV6 GT is a great car.
The EV6 is becomming amazingly common here on the west coast of Sweden: they are everywhere! -Still haven't seen the GT arround, though. Super-car hot hatch disguised as "crossover". As always, an excellent review that I will have to watch over and over. I've said it before and I say it again: you are hands down the best car-reviewer on the youtube, Sarah. Your level of indepth analysis combined with your entertaining humor and charm is simply unrivaled. Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome! ❤
I very glad Miss Sarah wasn't squished by the car on the lift, because car reviews wouldn't be the same with a flattened Sarah.
Surely, a personality that can never be duplicated.
Girl you test so many cars out it's a wonder you can keep track of them all. I LOVE IT
Hey girlfriend, loved the review thank you 😊👍. Just a lil friendly reminder KWH (kilowatt hours) is the measurement of capacity i.e size of the battery, KW (kilowatts) is level of power i.e watts=amps×volts 😘.
With this sled designed chassis having an 800V architecture and published kWh usable battery size one can figure out battery degradation, charging curve, ect.
Ahhhh thank you, Megan... if that is your real name.
The EPA rating is very easy to beat. I have an EV6 GT and I am getting 3.4 mi./ kWh for the first 700 miles of ownership in mixed driving. With 74 kWh of usable battery, that equals over 250 miles of range. I drive mostly in Normal mode, which has plenty of power, with occasional bursts in GT mode. This is a wonderful car. Thanks for your expert explanation of the motor windings - very interesting. No other reviewer has pointed that out.
I really appreciate you and your reviews.
Great to see your review Sarah, I’m so excited, I’ve got mine on order, hopefully only a few more months to wait.
👍🇦🇺🤟
Hairpin windings, blue bolts, AND a guppy pond. This car has got it all. Top notch, Sarah!
At 2:47, it just needs a KITT scanner bar on the front. 😂
"Sarah, do you really want to go this fast????" SHUT UP KITT!
Definitely the best/most comprehensive reviews on the net- thank you!
I LOVE your car reviews, Sarah! Feel free to drink copious amounts of caffeine on future review postings. 😊❤🚘
12:30 Thank you Sarah. You're the first car reviewer I've heard recognize that the batteries will lose charge over time. If you're leasing, no big deal. But if you're buying, that's a significant concern.
The Kia high voltage batteries are covered for 10 years / 100K miles. In that time I believe the battery is covered if it degrades more than 35%. In practice, there are 300k mile Tesla Model 3's with 80% battery range remaining. Which is adequate for most. This EV6 also uses a heat pump, which extends range in cold climates. Electric Vehicles are getting better every year.
@@dllemm a battery is a battery, doesn’t matter what kind of guarantee they give it.
@@SarahnTuned yep and there’s no recognised way of assessing the health of used batteries. If you are buying a car where the key component is, arguably, the battery you need to know if the one you’re buying is decent or crap. It can’t be that difficult to come up with something people can rely on, the EV manufacturers need to do something or used EVs won’t sell.
In my humble opinion.
I know a lot of people hate EV’s, but I am glad you review them. If we could gets get more infrastructure then EV’s will be a lot more popular. It’s nice to see on get such high marks.
How about some "reality". There are not enough minerals like nickel and Lithium to manufacture all the batteries required, let alone their replacement every 5 to 7 years. Of course you will never hear that from companies that want you to buy overpriced slot cars. Oh yea, they can also remotely shut your car off whenever they want, be it the government, police or hackers.
@@anth5189 Well how about that. They are just full of features that aren't exclusive to EVs and have been around for nearly a decade.
@ nearly a decade!!! bahahaha okay what then?
Finally a review that goes in details and tells you about the reality owning this car. Well done Sara!!
Found a link to this review on the Kia EV6 forum, what a detailed yet fun review! Loved the undercarriage and brake component analysis, very impressed with the components but wow, this thing is heavy. I'm thinking about this vehicle solely for the performance, but overall quality is important too. This video covers all very well. I have a feeling I'll be watching more of your reviews :) And thank you, now I want a red hand finger pointer..
I saw your live stream and I was impressed with your knowledge of cars.
Why, because she's a woman? 🤦♀
i saw your comment and, well... not impressed.
Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it.
Love your reviews
To get full power you need to pre-condition the battery and let the gauge build up. And the range I am getting is 252 on back roads and some highway Kia is being very conservative with that range
Thanks for the video Sarah!🌻🐧
That was a fantastic review of the suspension components. I wonder how it compares to the competition, especially the Tesla 3 I'm looking to trade in.
Suggestion - I wish you could provide some data, even if it's only a lookup of the specs, on the braking distance and comparison of the competition. And then cargo space.
Thanks for the as usual very entertaining review.
“Absolutely Magnificent Review, Quite Informative and Very Entertaining 😅😅
Believe you are the. Best. About review the car. Is technical and fun and the same time.
Clear and very professional
The mechanical properties is awesome 👍
Still waiting for an EV to make the Jetson's sounds.
so excited for the ioniq 5 N
Love the 4K60 quality
Thanks for showing interior features, it's very informative and especially enjoyable with your take on things.
Happy Sunday Sarah!!
WEEP, WEEP!!! Bird noises😂
I do sometimes miss your conversations with birds at the abandoned warehouse. 😁
Stay excellent!!!😎
I certainly am not one to bitch about vehicles that have a crappy range. My Hellcat drinks gas like it's going out of style if you "give it the beans". But as you pointed out, there are gas stations everywhere, the infrastructure is there and you can fill up in almost no time. Can't say the same about EVs. As far as EVs, which I'm not a big fan of go, that one seems pretty cool. Still love your reviews and your builds. I know I'm one of the few that enjoys both, but your quirky, fun personality make both enjoyable to watch.
200% agree with the title!!
You have provided the best video on this car to date.
I'm not quite ready for full EV yet but this things tempting!!!! Awesome fun review as always!!! ✌🏾❤✊🏾
The EV6 GT as well as the GV60 Performance also have a drift mode. Also a launch control. Not that it really needs one, given, that they both have enough power. But they are there.
I could listen to you talk cars all day❤ thanx for the content ✌️
Morning from Australia 😀🇦🇺👍
I like how Sarah can describe the details of both ICE and EV powerplants with equal interest and enthusiasm.
You do great reviews. Love all the information you give, and you’re funny too. Very watchable. Thank you! 😊
WOA! That sound test has serious THX 1138 vibes! 😉
I've always wanted one of these as a sleeper
The best thing about this, is the software for the driver display/infotainment. Even the placement of the wireless charger is nice
Also, if the range was better, I could see the price being worth it.
I never watch car reviews anymore because they're pretty boring, but I watch yours, you make them funny and interesting. Trying to figure out why I'm not getting notifications anymore.
Did you have Chicken Tenders with a side of Robot Barnacles for lunch? I wonder about range when the battery ages also. Thanks again for a fun review-I watch your channel every day
question, do you think the future of being a car mechanic should be for these types of cars? what training would it require? Plus i like that the car looks like a sleeper then hauls ass lol, great job Sarah i always watch your car reviews, all your content actually, keep up the great work two thumbs up 👍 👍
No, I’m not entirely sold Battery electric will be our end solution. The infrastructure and mining for raw materials is borderline impossible.
@@SarahnTuned if mining for the minerals ev use(which most ice car's also use btw. Was really such an issue then how come they 10x from 2017-2022? Under 1,000,000 evs&phevs sold in 2017 to almost 11,000,000 sold in 2022 world wide. Heading for 14-16,000,000+this year. 🤔
"flud" - hood and fenders combined - I love that!
Great review! You are the only reviewer I watch now!
I've been waiting for you to get one of these! I just picked mine up a couple months ago and can't wait to see your review!
Eagle F1 tires on 500hp awd 4700lb car. Bet they last under 10k miles. All in all, can't see the advantage of basically financing 8-10 years of gas at time of purchase given the extra cost of an EV
Thanks Sarah, I guess we should evolve with technology, I will always be in love with the style of the 1933 Ford coupe and 1967 Camaro.
Central California watching
Just bought this, so great to know I will be able to jump it over a house after this review. 👍
"Tweeter" produces high sounds (like cymbals) from the sound system. "Twitter" is a social media platform. Twitter is not housed near the rear door handles. Great review overall.
Hi Sarah, you should do a review on the Audi E-Tron GT next, to compare both sport EV`s🤟
Starting to see a few EV6's on the road in the UK. Wondering how the tuning scene will be in a few years time for EVs.
The problem with "tuning" EVs is that its a simple calculation - more power + less range. The most real gains are from reductions in wind resistance.
That sequence where the car turns off the road just before the ratings segment, the editing and design of it was 🤌
You're doing things with you and AFC that shows like motor week etc needed a whole crew to do and it's more entertaining.
Charging powers are stated with kW not kWh.
Also, EV6 needs a 800Volt charger to hit it's peak (around 240kW), of which the 350kW charger is the closest.
Smoking hot car savvy presenter, and interesting content presented in a witty and engaging way. This channel has it all.
Just small note for your units, it's kW* for charging speeds. kWh is a measurement for the capacity of a battery pack, while kW is the measurement for power output or input.
Just FYI, @14:00 kWh isn't a charge rate. kW is what you mean to say. kiloWatts, that is. kiloWatthour is the amount of kiloWatts delivered in one hour, and it's used to measure the size of the battery, or how much total charge was delivered to the battery.
Well aware, if you haven’t noticed I’m not a writer.. I’m a mechanic. Sometimes words that come out of my mouth aren’t the ones I meant to spew out.
The video while you are driving is amazingly clear and detailed. New camera?
Nope, nothing changed lol
@@SarahnTuned - I must be unusually sober. Have to get to work on that right away. Cheers! 🍺
The Bird is the Word, Bird Noises Rule !
Smashing the like button just for the rabbit hole funds fundraiser.
I’ll be honest
I just watch this because of Sarah
The Ioniq 5 N is going to be so rad.
Agree!
Your content is phenomenal great work like the tips great video 👍🏻
same seats from the Hyundai i30n hatch and sedan, KIA and Hyundai are doing amazing things for the future automotive world we are heading towards
I watch these videos because of you not so much the cars😍
Awesome review!
Charging units should be kW (power), not kWh (energy) - unless you're replacing the empty battery with a different fully charged one I guess..?
Hi Sarah. I really enjoy the reviews. You are so lucky! I'm green with envy. Thank You! And a built in mini Coi pond in the console, sweet!
Great review ! That sound check reminds of that Wraith movie !
Hi, I'm new here, but I love the finger pointer thing.
The bolstering is probably in the top ten cars you've reviewed over the years, particularly for the price. Once the charger infrastructure is expanded, EVs like this will be hot sellers for many drivers.
I love the little pointer 😂
wow that was fun to watch!
Did I hear there's going to be a Tesla Hill episode?
YEEEEEAH! Full send!
Easy to see the brakes fighting with the weight.
Needs a light scanning side to side like a Cylon.
We have the AWD Wind Model. Looking to Trade it for a GT on Wednesday. I wish the Meridian system went a little louder. If I can talk over the music at 75, it's not loud enough.
I just don't understand why they decided on such a short range, it's so short that I bet it's actually a deal breaker for a lot of customers.
KIA has really been stepping up their game lately though, from a brand I would never have considered 5 years ago, to making one of the most desirable affordable cars these days.
Also, great review as always, Sarah!
Great review. Thankyou
If I had to buy an EV, it would probably be an EV6 long range AWD (not this GT due to cost). Love your reviews, and your other crayz content. 3:59 if you hold the right paddle, it goes to auto which varies the regen based on conditions.
The Ioniq 5 is still by far my fav styling so give me an Ioniq 5 N please!
Chaotic and fun review! I own an EV6 GT-Line (one step down from the full GT), have seen a ton of reviews of this car and still thoroughly enjoyed yours. Curious if you'll get a chance to drive the upcoming Ioniq 5 N, that looks to solve the EV6 GT's range problem by upgrading the battery to an 84kwh pack along with a bit more power (though more aero drag).
Not interested in the car but am very interested in Sarah ❤
Agreed
What a monster! if only these insane new cars were affordable to everyday people
Sarah, you have to consider the Tesla Model 3 Performance, with tax credits, is now a hair under $50,000! No way would I spend an extra $12,000 on the Kia for less performance and a brand new, yet to be proven, vehicle with less range. I applaud Kia's effort here, but they've got a tough road head of themselves.
In a quarter of a mile at the ev6 gt is 11.4 and 3.4 to 60 for a suv it don't compete with a compact car. But it is faster in a quarter of a mile then your compact m3p
Charming, attractive, intelligent woman, creating real content, not super car fantasy. Love this channel.
In S.Korea there is a deep forest green option for color. I saw one on the road yesterday and it was absolutely stunning. I don't know if they will offer that color in other countries. It stands out so much in a beautiful way in the wild.
I love the new EV6-GT Line is the most Fastest EV and you look very beautiful Sarah
I enjoyed this review and hope that you test more BEVs
Thank you for your reviews 😊
Wow, that thing sounds like a UFO invasion. I like it.
If I ever bought an ev I'd want it to sound like the Jetsons car
