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%
The front and rear transmissions are divorced but at these they are still talking to each other.
Well, it's for the kids.
Your charging comparison segment was really cool. You're right; that data isn't easy to come by. Thanks! 👍
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. 👍👍👍
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! ❤
Sarah is funny and brilliant. I’m a fan.
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.
Girl you test so many cars out it's a wonder you can keep track of them all. I LOVE IT
I really appreciate you and your reviews.
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. 🫡
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.
Finally a review that goes in details and tells you about the reality owning this car. Well done Sara!!
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’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.
Hairpin windings, blue bolts, AND a guppy pond. This car has got it all. Top notch, Sarah!
Great to see your review Sarah, I’m so excited, I’ve got mine on order, hopefully only a few more months to wait.
👍🇦🇺🤟
Definitely the best/most comprehensive reviews on the net- thank you!
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 👍
200% agree with the title!!
I LOVE your car reviews, Sarah! Feel free to drink copious amounts of caffeine on future review postings. 😊❤🚘
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?
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!
“Absolutely Magnificent Review, Quite Informative and Very Entertaining 😅😅
Thanks for the video Sarah!🌻🐧
Love your reviews
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.
You have provided the best video on this car to date.
Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it.
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..
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
Still waiting for an EV to make the Jetson's sounds.
"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.
Love the 4K60 quality
so excited for the ioniq 5 N
I've always wanted one of these as a sleeper
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.
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.
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
Awesome review!
Just bought this, so great to know I will be able to jump it over a house after this review. 👍
Thanks for showing interior features, it's very informative and especially enjoyable with your take on things.
I'm not quite ready for full EV yet but this things tempting!!!! Awesome fun review as always!!! ✌🏾❤✊🏾
I could listen to you talk cars all day❤ thanx for the content ✌️
Happy Sunday Sarah!!
WEEP, WEEP!!! Bird noises😂
I do sometimes miss your conversations with birds at the abandoned warehouse. 😁
Stay excellent!!!😎
I like how Sarah can describe the details of both ICE and EV powerplants with equal interest and enthusiasm.
Morning from Australia 😀🇦🇺👍
WOA! That sound test has serious THX 1138 vibes! 😉
"flud" - hood and fenders combined - I love that!
Great review! You are the only reviewer I watch now!
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.
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
You do great reviews. Love all the information you give, and you’re funny too. Very watchable. Thank you! 😊
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'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!
The EV6 is better looking than what are available today
Great review. Thankyou
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.
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.
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
Charging units should be kW (power), not kWh (energy) - unless you're replacing the empty battery with a different fully charged one I guess..?
wow that was fun to watch!
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. 🤔
Smoking hot car savvy presenter, and interesting content presented in a witty and engaging way. This channel has it all.
What a monster! if only these insane new cars were affordable to everyday people
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.
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.
The Bird is the Word, Bird Noises Rule !
I’ll be honest
I just watch this because of Sarah
Hi Sarah, you should do a review on the Audi E-Tron GT next, to compare both sport EV`s🤟
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
The Ioniq 5 N is going to be so rad.
Agree!
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
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.
Pricing on all cars today are incredibly high. Such is life. My very first new car was an AMC Rebel Machine. $2200.00 I paid cash.
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.
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.
Smashing the like button just for the rabbit hole funds fundraiser.
Your content is phenomenal great work like the tips great video 👍🏻
Love this
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.
Awesome geek talk ;)
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! 🍺
Did I hear there's going to be a Tesla Hill episode?
YEEEEEAH! Full send!
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.
I love the new EV6-GT Line is the most Fastest EV and you look very beautiful Sarah
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!
"Bring out the e-gmp"
"The e-gmp is sleeping"
"Well I guess you're just going to have to go wake it up now, won't you?"
Great review ! That sound check reminds of that Wraith movie !
OK THAT HUM is COOOOOL!
Wow, that thing sounds like a UFO invasion. I like it.
Hi, I'm new here, but I love the finger pointer thing.
If I ever bought an ev I'd want it to sound like the Jetsons car
11:21 I came here just for this.
I love the little pointer 😂
61k for a tiny little hatch back. Ridiculous prices. More than a quarter of the value of my house.
This is the destruction of the future.
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!
The Ioniq 5 is still by far my fav styling so give me an Ioniq 5 N please!
Charming, attractive, intelligent woman, creating real content, not super car fantasy. Love this channel.
