I remember when the South Korean brands were considered cheap, poor man's alternatives to "real" cars. And now they are at the point where a German car reviewer is impressed! :)
yeah, they used to be sold through FSO and Lada dealers in the UK. I guess that's what happens when you buy your Design, R&D and engineering teams from the Germans.
@@dinohermann1887 I haven't really noticed their advertising apart from teh odd sponsorship for TV programmes but there again, i don't really follow the World Cup.
@@dinohermann1887 I haven't seen much advertising here in Australia, but some models of late (like the Stinger) convinced car enthusiasts that they need to be taken seriously. At the same time their family-oriented vehicles have become really well designed and thought out and have been consistently achieving excellent reliability.
@@dac33nr58 true
They are still
Just got one exact same spec as you drove for my wife, it is a great car loving all the technology and also the many things you can set to your own liking in this car.
Congrats! Which car will you drive?
@@JohnSmith-me2wg For now I still drive my Audi A7 quattro diesel, but I want to upgrade to a EQS as I really start to like driving electric cars now!
@@renerens hi ok thanks for the reply, yes in addition to reviews i like to know what people thought process is and their car journeys! All the best
@@renerens Diesel are garbage to drive compared to EVs.
@@TriviaChallenge Depending on the distance :)
I saw this EV for the first time 2 weeks ago while waiting on the stoplight in Stuttgart. It's just beautiful! I couldn't help giving the driver a thumbs up and a nod. He certainly appreciated it. 😁
I drive an EV6 GT-Line since about two months and must say, it is a very good car which is sporty and very silent inside. I tested a Tesla Model Y and was estonished how loud this car is inside. If you order an EV6 don't forget to add the LED-Matrix headlight option to have more fun when driving in a dark night 😊
The car is ok if you don't drive many kilometers
@@dragospahontu mate, it’s one of the fastest charging cars atm…
@@_TrueDesire_ loniq 5 and Ev6 suffer from rapidgate, that is at the first fast charge you do it in 18min and then the others in 30min.
Tesla still has the best charging infrastructure. Normal brands will struggle until Elon Musk will allow the others to charge at Tesla fast chargers.
@@dragospahontu still not an issue, assuming one starts at 100% and drive 450km, then back to 80% in less than 20 minutes and you can drive an additional 300-350km. How often do you drive more than that in a single day?
@@_TrueDesire_ basically you pay 50,000€ or whatever, but you still need a diesel car for long trips. This is why Tesla is a better compromise.
Untill we se Trucks running on something else apart from diesel, we will not be switching to full EVs.
BTW my point was that Hyundai is lying and it is just marketing bs about the charging.
Really appreciated your balanced review and that you chose the RWD version, where most Hyundai/Kia reviewers focus on the faster/more expensive AWD. I have been considering the Ioniq 5 in advance of an upcoming prep trip to Europe before a move there, and I plan to add the EV6 to my list of test drives based on your review and comments around the seat and instrument ergonomics. My wife's not a fan of the stylized Kia logo on the steering wheel, but once she drives it, she may change her mind...
Cheers m8!
Oh forget the Ionic, and get the EV6. Never mind the wife, its your choice.
I was in love with the Ioniq5 , but after seeing both in the metal, the EV6 is way more impressing.
@@bidonga agreee
There is not a loser between either car, I think both will make you happy. I am slightly in favour of the Kia, but if I watch some more reviews, I may change my mind again
Test drived one of these, and noticed a fun little thing: You can change the cabine lights to whatever color you like. In the options menu you got a color picker wheel (you can pick any on the wheel, not just predefined).
👍
No shit. My Mini JCW from 2010 could do that 🤣
@@SpaghettiKillah My 2012 Cooper can too but I'm glad the EV6 has it too because I'm thinking of replacing my Mini with it
The Ionic 5 was my favourite, until the EV6 appeared, that interior is amazing. Hoping work will allow us to choose Kia, when they eventually sign a new leasing contract..they have been working on it for the last 9 months!
I think the interior is horrid, which is strange because the trim is literally a direct copy of that in the old Mercedes CLA which I liked, but that was back in 2015.
Did you even drive the EV6 and the Ioniq 5? Both are very different to drive... The Ioniq is very comfortabel and the EV6 is stiff and sporty. The whole package of the Ioniq is much more balanced. More space inside, much better seats etc
Thanks for this excellent review. Living in Denmark i don't know why it took me a month to search for a German review, which would be an absolute logic choice considering Germans love for cars and brilliant traffic culture. You have confirmed that I made the right choice signing for an ev6 at the local dealer. Thanks again ❤❤
meget tak!
Good review T. The GT spec sounds very interesting
a note before watching - the choice between EV6 and Ioniq 5 in my opinion is the matter of own personal taste. Two great cars, I have driven both, I love the look of Ioniq 5!
I think the ioniq 5 looks cool but the look will age quickly
@@Chrisb8s Not necessarily. That overall hatchbackish sort of look has lasted a long time. The pixels? It's going to be a signature of all Ioniqs.
My wife and i tested both, along with fhe other usual suspects. Ended up ordering the Ioniq 5. Its just more spacious and well thought out, more comfortable too. Of the two, we preferred the looks of the Ioniq 5 by far. EV6 is lovely though
I just ordered my EV6 the week before new year. 77,2kWh RWD, but not the GTline. It will be my first EV and I'm really looking forward to it. ETA about 6months I was told.
Enjoy 😊
Do you know when will it come out in the US
Hands down one of the best car reviewers on TH-cam.
Thanks so much! Please recommend ☺️
You are amazing for remembering that I was waiting for this review AND commenting on my comment on your Ioniq 5 video to tell me this is online. Thank you! I drove the Ioniq 5 (58, rwd) a few weeks ago and it felt surprisingly sluggish in comparison with the e-Niro and e Soul I have to admit. I LOVE the Ioniq 5 interior. Hope to get an EV6 as a courtesy car when my Kia goes into service in a few days. Thank you for this review, it reinforced my wife and myself to wait for the EV6, very likely a purchase for us this year. This or the EQE.
Thanks for tuning in, you’re welcome 🤗
I love the blocky oversized hatchback look of the Ioniq 5. I test drove one week ago.It was my first drive in an EV and I was impressed
I'm probably getting an Enyaq Coupe, but I'm so jealous of the blind spot cameras on EV6/Ioniq! Big and clear images, right in the instrument panel - awesome. Tesla's blind spot cameras in the central dashboard are ridiculous in comparison (turning left? look to the right - at the screen in the middle)
I really like the unique, and detailed perspective that Autogefuehl provides. Thank you for another excellent review! 👍
highly appreciated!
Good review, detailed and thorough, I especially liked the autobahn tests and your interior review. Keep up the good work!
✌️🤗
Danke Thomas and all team for very practical and informative reviews.
👍
You are one of the best in testing cars, good job !
Cool seeing how quick you can go from drive to reverse......awesome review !!!
Cheers!
Another spectacular review, many thanks Thomas for all your job!
👍👍
I have been waiting for this, thanks for the great and informative review as always Thomas!
thanks for tuning in !
Informative as always, thanks Thomas and team.👍
thanks my friend =)
That KIA is a real looker. I think BMW need to poach their design team
Ironically it was more like in reverse. Look up who the Hyundai and Kia design teams are.
Excellent review delivered in a second language - Well done- Impressed with the EV6
👌😎
Great review! Our go to channel for the best reviews!
The whole world is jealous of the German Autobahn!!! good test thomas! 👍
I like the Kia ev6 my favorite ev at the moment, but I think I will wait a few years to go electric.
You have the best video reviews!
thanks so much =)
Great review as always, if there's anything I'd hope you'd change it would be to have price range mentioned as well.
All the best and a great year 2022, look forward to what the year brings!
All the best!
The ambient lighting based on drive mode setting does exits. It is in the vehicle> lights> ambient lighting menu.
Also interesting about the Mustang Mach-E infotainment comparison. I test drove the Mach-E a few days ago, and I was very disappointed with how slow and cluttered that screen was. I definitely feel that the system in my EV6 felt quicker and more responsive.
Also thanks for giving me a heads-up for this video upload on a previous comment! Really appreciate it.
Also an interesting fact about the EV6 suspension. It is a liquids-based adaptive system. It basically fills dampers with some oil the rougher the road is. Making it softer. The issue is that if you come from a really smooth road and suddenly hit a bump it will feel harsh. As an EV6 owner for over a month I do notice that. But I also notice that the car becomes smoother if I drive over continuously poor surfacing. So the system does seem to have an effect.
Thanks for the feedback! And u re welcome 🤗
Super review, Thomas!!!
🙏🙏
looks pretty good in red actually wow
Picked up my Limited Edition yesterday…great ride!
Still vertical learning curve.
As I had already said some time ago, it is always a pleasure to watch your state-of-the-art cars' in-depth - even if your English accent is not exactly an Oxford one!
👌
Very good review as always Thomas.
Cheers and thanks,, 🍻😎🤘

Top notch video and review!! Thank you for sharing!!

Great review. Best car review channel. You may have just persuaded me to order a Kia EV6.
Cheers keep tuning in!
Great review Thomas. Happy New Year to you and the team :-)
Happy new year!
Hi Thomas.
Always look forward to an new upload from Autogefuhl - you really do amazingly detailed reviews. Thank you.
I feel sure the Ionic 5 vs EV6 debate will rumble on and on...!
Overall, though, I look at it from the viewpoint of, "Isn't it wonderful that the current model options for prospective EV owners is so fantastic?"
Even 5 years ago, you might have struggled to think of, maybe, 6 EVs.... now we have such a wide choice, which has got to be a good thing, for sure.
Manufacturers just need now to cater for the sub-£20k lower-budget end of the market 🤞
Cheers! Ya true, choices are increasing!
I've been waiting for this video since this car launched last year. Great start to the year
👍
Great review as always!
It amazes me why so many expensive new ‘cutting edge’ cars have info screens worse than a €49 tablet. 🙄
Cheers! Agreed
Great review Thomas, a real insight into the new Kia. Tempts me to purchase one.
I drove a Model Y and thought it was a noisy bumpy tin can - you must think that range and super charger network is crucial for you in order to overlook these drawbacks. Of the cars I have tested so far the Ioniq 5 is the most comfortable but i'm also considering e.g. a used E-Tron 55 for about the same price.
I looked into the Audi but it seems range is a lot lower but you get a nicer build quality overall... also for me the audi is quite ugly in comparison to the ev6 or ioniq 5... so hard to choose!
@Robert Kempe
But you're an "anything but Tesla" nut, so let's reserve judgement......
Thomas is one the best reviewers!! Important that he recomended the smaller 19" wheels... Yes, watch the G forces for the passengers.
Thank you for the vid! I ordered a 4weel gtline. Have a nice day!
Cool!
I am so glad that you making an english review, since most german reviewers only makes them in German :)
you're welcome :)
@@autogefuehl I'm American and I love the way you speak English. And great review as well!
I really like that you can see the blind spot when you turn the blinker on, I wish the Mach-e had that.
I have been waiting for this review. My choice would be the AWD GT line, possibly you could test some EV’s in the snow? This may be my next EV after my E Niro, but I would like to know how EV’s work in winter conditions.
Great review as ever Thomas. You can actually set the interior colours to change with the drive modes automatically as I’m sure others have already pointed out. (Sport: Red, Normal: Dark Blue, Eco: Light Blue) 😀
🙏🙏
lovely review
I am purchasing one in Ireland this morning. A grey one has become available luckily. They are not available...
I only now have 1 month till delivery...
Its like Christmas again :D
Hi Thomas,
Great review, couple of things I would mention is that the 20’s are actually very good regarding comfort and not much difference than 19’s in my opinion after testing. Plus regarding charging it is very fast but suffers from ‘Coldgating’ but Tesla Bjorn has a work around (whilst Kia/Hyundai fix this) which still means in cold weather you can get quick charging speeds and get the battery up to temperature fast. Once this is done then it has charging speeds comparable to Taycan’s and E-Tron’s. They did a range and charging test with quite a few cars on RSymons channel and he showed that overall not much difference overallin the real world between the EV6 and Tesla LR3/Y. Worth watching if you haven’t seen it? Finally if in a cold climate definitely go for the AWD not just the big difference in power, tested at 4.6sec in real world compared to 5.2 advertised, so why need the GT which has much less range? But importantly in snow (as in Sweden) its needed. I have ordered my AWD with 20’s but out of interest where did the dealer get the black 19’s as would love to have those for my winter wheels as then better for range when ideally it’s needed.
Keep up the great work Thomas. 🍻👍
Thanks for the extensive feedback! Wheel choices might differ from market to market, that might be the reason
No problem Thomas. Sorry but when we start writing we just get carried away. 🤣🤣
AWD is not "needed" in places with snow, good winter tyres are needed with snow. In Sweden they have driven for decades without AWD and there still is no particular need for it if there are snow plows taking care of the roads and you don't have really steep hills where you drive. Sure AWD might make getting up to speed easier, but it doesn't help stopping or lateral grip in corners. Winter tyres make all the difference.
@@anomuumit With respect I live in Sweden and have ordered my EV6 GT line from my local Kia dealer with AWD. Yes agreed winter tyres are one of the key factors and that is why i mainly use Nokians. But AWD in many cases is a big benefit when the weather is bad. Firstly half the time the local kommuns take an age to get the snow ploughs out and especially in smaller towns. Yesterday was a classic example it had been snowing on and off for 2 days and only late last night did they bother to get the ploughs out. Secondly most manufacturers are bringing AWD to their cars as standard BMW, Merc, VW brand being a casing point. My previous car being a 4 wheel drive vehicle has gotten me out of trouble more times than I would care to remember. If I had been in a 2 wheel drive car then I might have been in trouble which has happened to my wife on occasions with her car. And to be honest with you for the difference in price and piece of mind it gives you in bad weather, plus the extra power and performance in my opinion its worth the difference.
@@markgeezey1809 - Agreed. AWD is also very helpful if you drive in an area with hills. When snowing, even with snow tires, there is no way I would be able to make it around town if I had FWD or RWD because of the hills in my area. I know @Ano Muumit alluded to this already, but it's worth reiterating for those of us that live and/or work in the foothills.
Nice review! Thanks.
✌️
Thank you for this one. I’m about to buy one, although the package it comes with differs a bit, as equipment goes. Great job!
thanks keep tuning in !
Great review and you're a good man. Im about to order the 2024 model EV6 GT Line 😊
Cheers 🙏
Brilliant videos as always thomas but where is the hyundai i20n review 🤔
Superb review Thomas, love it !! For me, the EV6 is the best in its segment right now. Waiting for the EV6 GT test ;)
Greetings from Barcelona :=)
Thanks Gery :)
@@autogefuehl A quick question for you Thomas. In UK this is the same pice as an XC40 full electric. Which would you go with? For me it is an obvious choice - the Volvo just for the cabin.
Really like your videos 💯
🤗🤗
Great review Thomas! I can't wait to see your review of the GT when it is available! A Tesla Model S for a lot less money? You tell us! Keep up the great work. Cheers from Virginia, USA.
We will keep you updated!
Great review. One question what's the difference in the ground clearance between the two? Again, lovin' the videos, thanks. Autogefuhl rocks. ☮️
Thanks! Same 6.1 inch ground clearance
@@autogefuehl EV 6 a good choice. Also, maybe KIA will upgrade their infotainment a bit down the road. Again, lovin the videos, and shared.
One more important ability which there was no mention of, is the ability for V2G capability, you can power a home and use the vehicle in the event of a power outage, or power a camping site. But a very good assessment of the vehicle.
Great looking car, and great review as always.
Question, is the ds4 on the planning as review, Im missing this one. The 308 already had an review but the ds4 not yet until now.
Got some here: th-cam.com/video/_FUdmqQmNSo/w-d-xo.html
Superb review
🙏🙏
Hi Thomas,
One thing that might be good to consider is having a close-up of the rear view camera. I liked that you gave your impression when you were giving way to the truck. Can you spend maybe 30 seconds on the rear view camera and rear view mirror? Some cars have poor viewing angles due to rear styling when looking through the rear vision mirror. With the camera demonstration, maybe film reversing into a car park spot (with respecting people's privacy). Some drivers tend to rely on sensors to let them park the car, so maybe demonstrating that would be interesting. Everyone has to park their car, and this seems to get overlooked.
Thanks for the great reviews. I have been a long-term viewer and appreciate your style. I have been watching since that Camry review 2 years ago. Autogefühl has the best reviews!
we often do that sure!
Great you're with us :)
I did close ups on the recent Lexus cameras btw in the reviews since the Toyota/Lexus cameras are often rather poor in resolution sadly
Hello Thomas, very good review as usual … Thanks to your fantastic job, I’m really considering of getting one. For the first time, I think this EV is comparable to a Tesla…. But much more sexy … . I also take the time to wish you a great 2022 !! A lot of thanks from Belgium for your always nice and useful reviews. Geoffroy
All the best to you for 2022 !
I think kia ev6 its good option its looks much beteer than model y and reliable and better service than tesla. Tesla u cann see everywhere in israel tesla sold 7000 unit in 6 month. Kia its better brand and if improve the entatrimnet like skoda its will be best value of money brand
@@shayyitzhaki4285 Kia has excellent reliability PLUS the longest warranty. Thomas neglected to mention this fact.
@@shayyitzhaki4285
I find it "odd" from most angles. Trying too hard.
The end was great Thomas in dilemma which EV is best...i think EV6 fast charging & heads up display & it looks better than other two model Y & Mustang E
훌륭한 리뷰입니다
Ev6를 시승해보니 성능 디자인 주행거리 등등 너무 좋았습니다
그래서 ev6를 주문했는데 1년 이상 기다려야 하네요
Man i love your reviews so much! Favourite youtuber🔥💪
highly appreciated =)

Appreciated! Have u also seen our Model Y review? th-cam.com/video/6-fIKDLQ7wc/w-d-xo.html

I like the fact that they tried to make this corner well. It really doesn't have any competition this car.
Not only the best car reviews but Thomas teaching us how to be good human beings :)
☺️
Yes, no animals harmed, animal free... Most important factor to me.
Hi Thomas, another great review, would love you to review and compare the Genesis GV60 to the EV6 when you get the chance!
Cheers m8!
I reserved the genesis gv60(RWD 77.4 kWh), the sibling of the ioniq5 and ev6.
I have high hopes for this car with a battery preheating function.
This is because it allows fast charging without high-speed driving.
Hopefully one day Thomas can review the gv60.
We will!
I dont know about prices in Germany, but in Belgium Mach-e (+10%) and Tesla Y (+20%) are a lot more expensive then Ev6 and I5, even more so in leasing. So that put them over my budget. Just went for I5, verry happy, but would just as much have liked an Ev6.
call me weird, but i watch this video as my asmr, just before I went to bed. lol. his voice is calming.
you're most welcome :-)
Very nice review. i could listen to your soothing voice all day. Also you mention some other EV's that are maybe not out yet in the USA. I have read about them but not seen them yet. It is hard to make a decision on which EV to buy now with the tech changing so quickly and always improvements. Plus in US we have tax credits for EV and PHEV but Tesla has exhausted their credits so makes Tesla more expensive to buy. Maybe it's better to lease an EV for now?
Thanks 😊
This seems the most refined out of them all in this price range. But then again, so is the Ioniq 5. I go for refinement. So, I'd choose between the 2 Hyundai family products.
Excellent content Thomas! Having a difficult time deciding between ev6 and Tesla model y
Thanks 🙏
Seen our model y reviews? th-cam.com/video/6-fIKDLQ7wc/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/ZKVZDqDyYn4/w-d-xo.html
Learning curve for regen breaking similar to the clutch for s new car - spot on comparison
2 day test with the GT-Line S - biggest issue at my height (6' 7") was same as you found - with wheel in a comfortable driving position i couldn't see around 40% of the display. Plus headroom with the sunroof too limited. Quite liked the car otherwise but obviously with those two dealbreakers I didn't order
I hope to be checking out the EV6 when it arrives in Australia later this year - at this point, it is in front of the race when it comes to my next car - only the forecast high price might count it out.
Good reviews
🙏🙏
Great review - coming from the UK, the “rough road” did not look that rough 🙂
Cheers 🍻
Great video, how does the Air version compare with the Q4 Etron 35?
Check out our big comparison: th-cam.com/video/F-Dk2bXIFXM/w-d-xo.html
Very nice review. Thanks for providing this very insightful info. I will get my EV6 in steel grey matte next week and I am looking for the best looking alloy wheels. I like the black ones in your video. Where did you get it (I live in Denmark and can't find them here) and what do you think about the range impact using them vs the more aero dynamic ones the car is born with
Aerodynamic wheels will have an effect, but nothing you would really feel in every day driving life
Indeed they don’t seem to be available in black in all markets
@@autogefuehl Are they available in Germany and do you know where?
Can u order from Germany? I could ask the dealership
@@autogefuehl Yes, I believe so. If it is not a too big a hazzle I would appreciate it
Nice review, I have the same but in Yacht Blue, but my touch screen is more responsive than yours, also here in Portugal we don't have the heated or cooling seat or heated steering wheel
Great review and good conclusion. Another major factor to consider if buying EVs must be depreciation. The Tesla therefore may be the one to go for.
thanks Matt !
Great video as always. Please can you review the MG ZS EV and the MG Marvel R.
thanks! Lets see what we can do
Very nice review Thomas! I was waiting for this one. 😀 Another pro besides way faster charging for the EV6 compared to the Mach-e is the maximum towing capacity: 1600kg for the EV6 compared to 750kg for the Mach-e. As always: the choice is depending on personal taste and preferences.
Cheers! Strangely US towing is at 2300 lbs only 🤔
@@autogefuehl US towing laws are a bit stricter than they are in Europe and the standard Davis Dam Grade towing test limits the towing capacity severely.
Thanks for a nice review! But I don't get if this is or isnt the GT version, title says it is but in the video you seem to refere to the GT version as dual motor etc?
thanks! This is GT-Line, the GT is the version then with dual motor
Great test Thomas. Tesla model Y does not have 400km range in cold climate. Not in real world, mixed road, cold climate driving. In summer maybe 450-500km but so does the EV6.
Looks like a great car. Too bad manufacturers don't make a slightly smaller version 175-189 inch version that is both sporty and luxurious - driving and parking in big cities would be a breeze without giving up too much interior room making it perfect for adventurous empty nesters. I think that would sell out fast.
Top class review as always.
I think you Thomas are one of if not the best vehicle reviewer. In this you compared a lot to the Ioniq 5 (as the headline says) but also to Mach and Y. I was wondering what you think of the EV6 compared to some other price and size alternatives? BMW iX1, Audi Q4, and Skoda Enyaq, and ID4.
highly appreciated my friend!
Hey Tomas, how would you compare the internal comfort of the EV6 to the Mazda CX-60?
Hello Thomas,
Very good review from this car. I think it's very better than the ionic. It looks so much better from the Design and more Automobil. The back side i think it is take geting used but Daimler it takes again in it's last Prototyp.
Have a nice Weekend und viele Grüße ✌
Same to you!
Thomas - you almost had me talked into the Mach-e but now we are considering the EV6. Please stop confusing us! 😊
Thomas, excellent review. I just have a hard time liking the rear end design. Otherwise it would be my first choice. Maybe an iX3 if it shows up in US.
Thanks 🙏
With the climate/infotainment switcher button I would make it a physical switch or button to feel out what dial is doing what without having to look down.
Did a test-drive yesterday, didn't expect it to be fast and fun. Steering was not as good as the ID4. GTX and also the electric motors a bit more noisy at 110km/h. Interior looked like the BMW i4 but the feel of buttons was more KIA.
Hi Thomas, thanks for your comprehensive reviews. Not sure how tall you are, but how did you find the headroom in the driver's seat? I am 6' 3.5", and have concerns that headroom is limited with the sunroof option based on comments I have read, and when people adjust the recline to accommodate, the steering wheel ends up being a bit far even with it fully extended. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Indeed. I m ok with 6ft1 but 6ft3 You need to take a test seat, and the panoramic roof probably will not work
