I have the good fortune of owning a GT EV6. I have been struggling to learn the features of this car by reading the owner’s manual. Clearly the owner’s manual is written by someone with English as a second language. Your video is better than the owner’s manual! Thank you for your clear demonstrations but I will watch your videos several times to absorb the knowledge it offers. You’re so good at this that I’m surprised Kia has not officially endorsed your video as a quick start for new owners.
Thanks Kevin. That's very kind of you. I'm glad you found it useful. It's going to be a series of EV6 videos so subscribe if you haven't already and if you have, stay tuned.
Everything is explained in the owner's manual in clear and grammatically sound. The user manual for my EV6 didn't have any errors in the English that I could identify.
@@HighOnCars1 amazingly useful! Thanks a million! What are your thoughts on the KIA connect app? Is it of any use? Do you yourself use it? And how often do you charge to 100%?
Thanks Ismail. I'm glad you found it useful. I always charge my car to 100% whenever it drops below 200 km which is every 2 to 3 days.. I look at range and not the SoC. As for the Kia connect app, it's useful in many ways. If I forget to lock the car, it sends me a notification and I can lock it using the app. I can see how much range I have left and if I need to plug it in and how long it will take to charge. Too many features to list here.
@@HighOnCars1 Great thanks! So you have no concerns with the battery degrading? I was about to adopt your charging habits, since I want to use the full range. But I read in blogs that a 100% charge should be done once per month max. Now im a bit insecure (talking about 11kwh charges to go to 100%)
Best video on the EV6 ever. I have to agree. Now, it took me 3 days to get through it because I'm watching at my desk and trying to absorb the information. I have to give you mad props for this video. I'm going to review it again I'm sure, but I want to thank you for taking the time to show aspects of the car, I'm fairly certain, even the dealer won't even know. As an aside, and I suspect you already know, at the 40:00 spot, if you press and hold that fan display, you'll get the option to determine which menu is the primary, climate or music. If you tend to want to adjust the volume more than changing the temps, set the volume as primary display and if you are done on the other menu, it will flip back to your primary. Thanks again. Be well.
Excellent video! You are a naturally born teacher my friend. Takes a unique talent to explain a perplexing subject to a novice in such a clear and concise manner.
Thank you for this comprehensive video on the Kia EV6. I have one on order here in Norway and watch alot of videos of the car while waiting for delivery. This video was really good and I learned alot that will be usfull when I get the car.
I have seen every review on the EV 6 (which there are 100s) and this is by far the most in depth and thorough review i have seen. My EV6 is on Order and i should get it in February 2023. Just subscribed to your channel well done and keep up the good work!
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. Feel free to share 😊 It's going to be a series of videos on the EV6 so stay tuned. One will be coming out this week 😊
You were not kidding. Very detailed indeed. KIA should pay you for making user manual. As one who's just about to pull the trigger and order GT-Line with similar package I really appreciate you work here👍
Great review. So many are not this detailed and makes yours extremely helpful to aspiring and actual owners alike. Makes me want one all the more. Im into the detail and it says a lot about Kia that this level of thought has gone into the user experience. Thanks, it's appreciated.
Great video, I bought my EV6 about 3 weeks ago, and I love it, an awesome car! I also learned a great deal on the different features and controls. Thanks!
Just picked up my EV6 GT L1 two days ago and love the HDA. I drove down to downtown Toronto in heavy traffic and barely had to do anything. Just set it sit there listening to music and podcasts.
By far the best review of the EV6 I’ve seen. I’m picking mine up in 2 weeks time and you highlighted features that I haven’t seen on any other review. At this stage I think I’ve seen every review there is, so Thanks again, great job 👍
Brilliant video. I have watched many of the ev6 TH-cam videos but this one is very detailed thank you I’m getting this vehicle in UK, late December 2023.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful 🙂 Congratulations on your EV6. It's an amazing vehicle. There's a 1 year review on my channel if you haven't already watched it.
Congratulations. This was the best video I've ever seen about any car. I am expecting delivery on my ev6 June 10 and will feel confident driving off the lot. Thanks much.😀🚘😀
Fantastically detailed review of all EV6 features. If you are thinking of ordering an EV6, but have not been able to see one at a dealer, this video will tell you almost everything you would want to know. I presently have an Ioniq 5 on order; a similar video on that vehicle would be fantastic. Well done.
I'm glad you liked it and appreciate the recognition. It's comments like these that keep me going. It took a LOT of time and effort in making this video. Lots of EV6 videos on the channel and a lot more to come so feel free to browse and share 🙂
This is Michael. You are to be commended. This is a fantastic video with plenty of useful information and a more thorough treatment than any other TH-cam on this car . We have a Tesla Model 3 and this EV6 blows it away. Great explanations and demonstrations. Kia owes you some money
Hi Michael from Kathy's account 😁 I'm glad you found it useful and good to hear your views on the EV6. Means a lot coming from a Tesla owner. Do you have one on order? Where are you located?
Absolutely the best overview I've seen on the KIA EV6-GT Line. My wife and I were debating as to whether we should go ahead with the decision to purchase. Your video made the decision for us! We're ordering the optional "white" color. Also, a quick heads up for those that have the "Matt Grey" color, we were informed by the dealer here in Oregon that you cannot take that EV6 to a car wash that uses brushes. Evidentially, they can scratch the surface. Also, wow...the dealer markups in addition to charging full MSRP. Here on the West Coast, the average additional cost is $5,000 over the sticker price. Ouch...but the popularity and scarcity of the car is dictating and justifying the price. Still, with a $7,500 Fed and $2,500 Oregon rebate, it softens the wallet bang (a little)! Again, great video and a sincere thanks. Jack in Central Oregon.
Hi Jack Thank you. I'm glad to hear that my video helped you decide on the EV6. It's a great car and worth the wait. Yes I'm aware that the matte grey require a LOT of care like hand washing only. So pay a lot of money to buy headache lol. No thank you. My car is one of the first 300 that came to Canada and the dealer was trying to charge me extra so I moved the reservation to another dealer who agreed not to charge over MSRP and no admin fees and other nonsense charges. I didn't pay a penny over MSRP plus freight and PDI known as the delivery in the States.
Thank you so much. I was considering ordering this car, and I'm happy to know you are still very satisfied a year later. With these specs it really is a LOT of car for your money, and I'm happy to know it's worth buying.
Anytime. I'm glad you found it useful 🙂 Not sure where you're located but in Canada, Kia is not taking any orders but the dealership will gladly take your money to put you on a waitlist with them.
Congratulations on your EV6. I'm glad you liked the video. You can browse the channel for lots of other useful videos on the EV6 and freel free to subscribe 🙂
Excellent, thorough review/tutorial on the EV6. I have a Yacht Blue GTLine AWD. In the States that gets you the Homelink buttons on the rear view mirror. However, we do not get a cargo cover or charging cable. You can buy drop-in organizers for the center console which makes it *much* more useful. Love the car, though I wish the range was a little closer to advertised without the need to drive like a nun.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. I know but I don't use the centre console at all so I didn't bother getting one. I don't use the cargo cover either and it's tucked in nicely under the cargo area. I've never used it in any of my cars. I'm getting between 415-421 km on a full charge without any compromises. I drive in Sport mode. Gun it when I feel like, use climate control and still get that range. I'm pretty happy with it actually.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. Please make sure that your order has been placed with Kia UK and not just a deposit with the dealer. Ask your dealer for an order number if you don't have it already. In Canada the EV6 is sold out until 2024 and Kia Canada isn't even taking orders but the dealers are taking deposits and people think that they've placed an order when all they've done is gotten in line at the dealership for when the orders reopen.
One of the best videos on the various features of the EV6. In considering the GT line for the tech pack. How much do you use the Heads Up display? Game changer or no big deal?
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I've used it every single day since getting it. It not only gives you your speed and the posted speed limit but also blind spot information alomg with navigation directions and HDA information which shows you the cars around you while using HDA. I wouldn't pay for the augmented reality though. The standard head up display is better and provides more information. I'll be making a detailed video on it.
Uncle High this is a very detail video suited for someone who want to see all the features before buying or after buying to learn without reading the manual. Uncle High, I really appreciate your time and effort. I like to advice you should make 2 versions, first a more quick summary for people who making their mind and 2nd for people like you made above video for people who already planned to buy and need detail or who bought and want to learn all the details. Uncle High thanks
Thank you for your feedback. If you browse the channel, you will find a short video that I posted few months ago. I'm glad you found it useful. Feel free to share 😊
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. In the Kia Connect app it does show the preconditioning option but they haven't enabled it yet so maybe a future software update will enable it. With the blind spot monitors in the gauge cluster giving you a live view from the cameras, I don't feel the need for a digital rear view mirror but third party digital rear view mirrors are available on the market.
If you hold the media/AC toggle area you will get the option to choose which you prefer to be persistent on the display. You can then push the button only when you need to toggle to the other set of controls.
Great review, I have an order in for 2023 EV6 GT Pk2 in Runway Red, hopefully it will add wireless CarPlay, integrated garage door opener (which is included with our 2019 SX touring Niro EV) and possibly other improvements in 2023. Fortunately in BC the EV6 qualifies for both the federal government $5,000 rebate and the provincial government $3,000 rebate.
Muito bom o seu vídeo, não vejo a hora desse carro começar a vender no Brasil. Realmente os melhores vídeos são dos donos, Os repórteres não conseguem ir dão fundo, foram que alguns são comprados.
Every EV6 in Canada comes with the level 1 charger (EVSE) yes and $1400 is absolutely ridiculous considering you can get a level 2 charger (EVSE) for around CAD 500. I guessing you're not in Canada. You should be able to buy a level 1 charger (EVSE) for a few hundred dollars if someone who doesn't use theirs is selling it. It doesn't even have to be a Kia EVSE. You can buy any aftermarket but from a reputable company and manufactured as per the standards of your country.
I'm guessing you haven't taken the delivery of your EV6 yet otherwise you would've known that it comes with the level 1 charger (EVSE). I've heard they don't come with one in the US which is why you were probably worried. I've never used mine because it's a very slow charger. You can probably manage with it IF you don't drive much but level 2 is the way to go.
I brought one . In less than a week I had a problem charging AC . I could only charge DC . I took it back to the Kia dealership , they have had the car for over 2 weeks and still not fixed
@@HighOnCars1 Not really, I have over 300km to the nearest Tesla service center, and 4km to the nearest Kia service center.. Besides, switching from Model S to Model Y seems like a downgrade, better to switch the make so it is more like a sidegrade. :)
Really awesome video and so detailed! Learned some things i didnt know about the car. I was wondering what type of real world range you are getting during the summer on a full charge while driving at highway speeds? And what kind of range are you expecting to get during the winter months?
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. I drive in sport mode all the time with the air-conditioning on doing 120 kph and I get 385-405 km on 100% charge in sport mode. Naturally that number goes up if you drive in Normal or ECO.
You have to keep the trunk open button pressed to close the trunk, not to open it. To open, you press and hold and then release once it starts opening.
Hey you're the first one I've seen talk about the charging speeds on the USB ports. 1. Does the front USB C also do the Super fast charging? 2. Does the front USB A port do regular fast charging, and/or charge while plugged in for android auto? Thanks!
@@HighOnCars1 ok so regular charging, no "fast" at all right? I found an adapter online that let's you get fast charging but it's another $20usd and not sure if it ships in Canada haha. When I get my Ev6 I'll consider it if I'm not satisfied with the charging speed while plugged in. Or just get a wireless AA adapter. I just see none that are 100% reliable. All have a few kinks here and there
Thank you for sharing. No it was not long video I learned a lot from you, again thanks. I would like to ask you dose this car has security cameras that records if someone comes close to it? And another question can you download an app to my phone to control the car from away from the car?
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it useful. It does have a bunch of cameras but doesn't have the sentry mode like Tesla. It's a software thing so I'm not sure why they didn't do it. And no, the app cannot be used to "summon" the car.
Your lucky even to get a non tsla EV . Most EV’s can’t get produced due to material and production limitations. The waiting period is 2 years. Ordered mine 6 months ago and I won’t get it this year.
The Kia EV6 was launched online only in October 2021 and only 200 units were up for grabs and I had a reminder setup to place the order as soon as the ordering portal went online so mine is one of the first 200 that were delivered in Canada. I got mine in April 2022. 6 months later. Been driving it for almost 11 months now and love it. Will make a video of 1 year ownership.
Great details and tips but you forgot to mention the Genesis also has a lot of the same features (and then some) of the ev6...including blindspot monitoring. It's Hyundai's premium brand, and they share the same platform....Protip- you can set a default for the climate/radio controls...if you hold the arrow down to switch radio/climate controls for a few seconds it should give you an option to set the default to either radio or climate, which means that if you set it to climate the next time you are on radio controls it ill switch to climate controls after a few seconds without you having to touch it....this is convenient since people will use that and then use the radio control on the steering wheel instead and that way they don't have to switch back and forth.
@@HighOnCars1Great video. I'm waiting for my EV6 delivery later this year. On the subject of the blindspot camera display I'm sure I've seen TH-camrs demo'ing the facility recently released in the last few months by Tesla's OTA update. It was a square video window as opposed to being a round one and a reviewer stated that the feature first appeared a few years ago from another manufacturer, it may have said it was Honda but I can't remember for certain
It's rated for 441 km on a single charge but I consistently get around 414 which is pretty good considering I use sport mode and airconditioned all the time.
They're both great options and picking one over the other would come down to preferences and the price difference. For me the EV6 has a better build quality and interior and exterior design and drives more like a car as opposed the the Model Y which offers more cargo space and a 3rd row option which isn't important to me and is not worth the extra money.
I rather buy a Tesla because you got the best of charging on both worlds you can charge on a test of supercharger and you can charge at the EA and other things long as you got that adapter
@@HighOnCars1 I did. I own a 2018 Kia Optima, so some features I already knew, they kept them the same. But otherwise, this car is great! I had already ordered a Model Y, I still haven't received it yet, and I also have this one in the queue as well. Chances are, I will sell the MY and get this one when it arrives.
At 30:07 you said that the brake lights come on automatically as long as you're above level 1 and then followed that statement up with "so it's not a good idea to use them on the highway". What are you referring to with "them"?
I am saying that we should only use level 0 or 1 regen on the highway so if we take our foot off the pedal, the brake light doesn't turn on causing a trailing vehicle to panic at highway speed.
@@HighOnCars1 I guess that's better than the alternative. I was driving a Chevy Volt a couple years ago and let regen braking slow me down before a turn. Car behind me laid on the horn. I don't have any proof but I would say the lights may not have been coming on.
When you're in drive assist mode and the car is going to switch lanes, the center screen shows green before switching lanes (at 48:11).... does it also do this if you're manually controlling the car and getting ready to switch lanes?
I see your point but they've only incorporated these features for HDA so the humans are aware of what the car can see which would put their mind at ease.
Kun je het rechter scherm gedeelte ook in een dagmodus zetten? Bij het invoeren van een route gaat dat automatisch, maar als je de kaart in beeld hebt, zonder een route plannen, heb je altijd een donker scherm, dus het lijkt een nachtmodus. Kan dat anders ingesteld worden?
U kunt dag-, nacht- en automatische modi selecteren, maar dit is voor beide schermen. Je kunt niet het ene scherm in de dagmodus hebben en het andere in de nachtmodus.
If you are referring to the flickering daytime running lights, I already mentioned in the video that it is because of the camera. They are actually static.
@@HighOnCars1 - With Tesla Summons you can park the car in the driveway and i will automatically park itself in the garage. Wasn't sure if the sensors are active to maneuver in and out of a garage.
i really dislike those door handles(EV cars) its so unreliable in case of a crash it needs "POWER" to pop out if there's NO POWER it will not pop out like that case on a crash tesla with a drunk doctor/atty i forgot
well, you paid a lot. Mine is also a GT-Line AWD with features you are missing and was only 60125 after tax. I haven't got the rebate in the US yet but it's 7500 so the car would be a little over 53K including that.
🤔 wow, it seems you way overpaid for your Kia EV6. We bought the AWD GT-Line with ALL packages and paid €49k after rebates. That's less then $50k. That inlcuded all taxes and delivery fees. I remember the time when cars were much less expensive in the US compared to Europe. I guess those times are over.
Very interesting. I know the abbreviation for Korea is KR. I couldn't find KN for Korean anywhere online but if you know for sure, that's a very interesting fact.
I'm waiting for min in agony :-( I ordered back in October, with delivery in May. But a few weeks before delivery they told me they had to push it back to ultimo December - possibly January :-( My old car got totaled, so I bought a "temporary" 20 year old Swift to get me around......and it's probably the worst pile of junk I ever drove.
@@HighOnCars1 Likely because I’m in a different country, with different configurations. It’a a massively popular EV, and every delivery for the first cars went to preorders. And then the Chinese enforced strict corona lockdowns in Shanghai, which severely disrupted the supply chain to the factory, creating a huge backlog of incomplete orders.
tesla did that to me for the Model Y ( ordered in September 2021) was told I would get inFebruary then they pushed me back to Oct of 2022 So I went straight to KIA with my money and got a GT-Line only a week after talking to them about one.
It's a much better vehicle than the Audi e-tron in every way possible and is in much more demand. You can find an e-tron to buy but good luck finding an EV6 😎
I live in South Australia and the sun is one of the (many) reasons I ordered an EV6 over a Tesla. The idea of being stuck under an unshaded slab of glass in the middle of summer sounds awful.
Great video. Interesting that the vehicle costed more than my Tesla Model Y Performance out the door. The black piano plastic in the Kia is a scratch magnet so something to watch out for. Funny how a Chevy Malibu and Honda Civic was wireless Apple CarPlay and android auto, but in the most advance Kia ever you still need to use a cable. The fact that a key fob is needed and you can just use your cellphone is another bummer. It means that Kia outsourced the development of the software for the vehicle it was not done in house. Didn’t see any usage of voice commands so I assume Kia does not have good software in this vehicle. I use voice commands for everything in my Tesla so I don’t have the use the center screen. Too many buttons in the vehicle which is indicative of legacy automakers inability to develop good software that eliminates the need for so many buttons. Because this vehicle was not designed as an ev from the ground up is has a lot of short comings. It’s a car where the ICE. Was swapped for batteries. I am sure Kia will improve their design over time and hope they can get the costs down. I would not pay what they are asking as their are much better options at that price point. The single motor version is a better value for the money.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Clearly you didn't do your research. The EV6 is the first Kia built from the ground up as an EV using their dedicated e-GMP EV platform. I'm guessing you didn't realize that the pricing is in Canadian dollars and you think your Model Y was cheaper because you're in the States. In Canada the Model Y costs CAD22K more. Also, Tesla HAS to offer voice command due to the lack of buttons which was to keep the cost down, no an innovation. Most people prefer buttons than digging into the screens or even using voice commands. The Model Y does offer a bit more range and a bit more cargo space but it's not worth the extra CAD 22K. It also offers a pretty useless 3rd row for another CAD 4000 which brings the price difference to CAD 26K. Being a taller vehicle, the Model Y also offers a bit more head room but that effects it's ability to take corners like the EV6. The EV6 is for people who like cars, not badges. Also, the Model Y LR is slower 😁😜😎
Lamento que no estés a la altura de las circunstancias, y por eso defiendas tu Tesla, Tesla es un buen coche, pero ahora mismo no el mejor que hay en el mercado. El EV 6 está mas avanzado tecnológicamente que tu coche. Y en cuanto a botones, es cuestión de gustos, personalmente un coche por que sea eléctrico no debe renunciar a este diseño, y el de Tesla a mi no me dice nada. Saludos
I love the rakish facade! KIA would be my next car. The insurance is pretty lower than other brands. They have one of the lowest problems to occur during the ownership. My former family BMW was stalled on a street and the engine was burning with smoke on my way home...gas guzzler. If i get similar performance in a electric car then awesome.
The best video I've seen on explaining the technology of the EV6. Ijust bought a 2022 EV6 GT Line RWD, and I love it! Thank you for the great video!

Fantastically detailed review of all EV6 features. If you are thinking of ordering an EV6, but have not been able to see one at a dealer, this video will tell you almost everything you would want to know. I presently have an Ioniq 5 on order; a similar video on that vehicle would be fantastic. Well done.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. Feel free to share 😊
I wish I had access to more cars for an extended period of time to make such videos.
Nice review! This is the most informative video that I have seen on the EV6 and I have watched many.
I'm glad you like it. Feel free to share 😊
Superb video. Immense amount of detail. Appreciate the effort it must have taken. Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it and appreciate the recognition. It's comments like these that keep me going. It took a LOT of time and effort in making this video. Lots of EV6 videos on the channel and a lot more to come so feel free to browse and share 🙂
This is Michael. You are to be commended. This is a fantastic video with plenty of useful information and a more thorough treatment than any other TH-cam on this car . We have a Tesla Model 3 and this EV6 blows it away. Great explanations and demonstrations. Kia owes you some money
Hi Michael from Kathy's account 😁
I'm glad you found it useful and good to hear your views on the EV6. Means a lot coming from a Tesla owner. Do you have one on order? Where are you located?
I own the exact same vehicle in red. Thank you for posting this. I learned so much!
Anytime. I'm glad you found it useful 🙂
Best car review I ever seen 👍👍👍
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it 😊
Great review! Really like that you go in all the little details. Good job!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to share 😊
Absolutely the best overview I've seen on the KIA EV6-GT Line. My wife and I were debating as to whether we should go ahead with the decision to purchase. Your video made the decision for us! We're ordering the optional "white" color. Also, a quick heads up for those that have the "Matt Grey" color, we were informed by the dealer here in Oregon that you cannot take that EV6 to a car wash that uses brushes. Evidentially, they can scratch the surface.
Also, wow...the dealer markups in addition to charging full MSRP. Here on the West Coast, the average additional cost is $5,000 over the sticker price. Ouch...but the popularity and scarcity of the car is dictating and justifying the price. Still, with a $7,500 Fed and $2,500 Oregon rebate, it softens the wallet bang (a little)! Again, great video and a sincere thanks. Jack in Central Oregon.
Hi Jack
Thank you. I'm glad to hear that my video helped you decide on the EV6. It's a great car and worth the wait.
Yes I'm aware that the matte grey require a LOT of care like hand washing only. So pay a lot of money to buy headache lol. No thank you.
My car is one of the first 300 that came to Canada and the dealer was trying to charge me extra so I moved the reservation to another dealer who agreed not to charge over MSRP and no admin fees and other nonsense charges. I didn't pay a penny over MSRP plus freight and PDI known as the delivery in the States.
One of the best detailed reviews of the EV6 GT AWD. Thank you.
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to share 😊
And it's the GT-Line, not the GT.
GT is the 577hp monster coming later this year 😈
Perfect! I get my EV6 GT-line in two days and this presentation is what I needed! Thank you!
Congratulations and I'm glad you found it useful 🙂
Thank you for the Super Thanks. Much Appreciated 🥰
Thank you so much. I was considering ordering this car, and I'm happy to know you are still very satisfied a year later. With these specs it really is a LOT of car for your money, and I'm happy to know it's worth buying.
Anytime. I'm glad you found it useful 🙂
Not sure where you're located but in Canada, Kia is not taking any orders but the dealership will gladly take your money to put you on a waitlist with them.
@@HighOnCars1 I live in the Netherlands. They'll take orders here.
Excellent review, merci beaucoup.

The best depth review i've ever seen on this car. Thanks and keep upmthe good work.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful.
Fantastic video! I am new to your channel and a new Kia EV6 GT Line AWD owner! I am so happy!
Congratulations on your EV6. I'm glad you liked the video. You can browse the channel for lots of other useful videos on the EV6 and freel free to subscribe 🙂
Excellent, great job with the details!!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to share 😊
Excellent, thorough review/tutorial on the EV6. I have a Yacht Blue GTLine AWD. In the States that gets you the Homelink buttons on the rear view mirror. However, we do not get a cargo cover or charging cable. You can buy drop-in organizers for the center console which makes it *much* more useful. Love the car, though I wish the range was a little closer to advertised without the need to drive like a nun.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. I know but I don't use the centre console at all so I didn't bother getting one. I don't use the cargo cover either and it's tucked in nicely under the cargo area. I've never used it in any of my cars. I'm getting between 415-421 km on a full charge without any compromises. I drive in Sport mode. Gun it when I feel like, use climate control and still get that range. I'm pretty happy with it actually.
the best video on the net, well done. I am in the UK and have had that very model on order for 14 months and still can't get a delivery date.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. Please make sure that your order has been placed with Kia UK and not just a deposit with the dealer. Ask your dealer for an order number if you don't have it already.
In Canada the EV6 is sold out until 2024 and Kia Canada isn't even taking orders but the dealers are taking deposits and people think that they've placed an order when all they've done is gotten in line at the dealership for when the orders reopen.
One of the best videos on the various features of the EV6. In considering the GT line for the tech pack. How much do you use the Heads Up display? Game changer or no big deal?
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I've used it every single day since getting it. It not only gives you your speed and the posted speed limit but also blind spot information alomg with navigation directions and HDA information which shows you the cars around you while using HDA. I wouldn't pay for the augmented reality though. The standard head up display is better and provides more information.
I'll be making a detailed video on it.
Uncle High this is a very detail video suited for someone who want to see all the features before buying or after buying to learn without reading the manual. Uncle High, I really appreciate your time and effort. I like to advice you should make 2 versions, first a more quick summary for people who making their mind and 2nd for people like you made above video for people who already planned to buy and need detail or who bought and want to learn all the details.
Uncle High thanks
Thank you for your feedback. If you browse the channel, you will find a short video that I posted few months ago. I'm glad you found it useful. Feel free to share 😊
@@HighOnCars1 thanks for reply. Will check the smaller version

I’m in the Netherlands so a long wait 😫
@@quinnk4617 That sucks im in Norway but mine is still an German import.,..2 years to wait from Kia
@@Lagerlederen 2 years wait?! WTF
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Congratulations on your EV6. It's worth the wait 😎
Actual GT coming. Hope they address handling and wide turning circle.
There's nothing wrong with the way the GT-Line handles but obviously it will be better on the GT.
Great review! I do wish the EV6 had on-route battery pre-conditioning, and a digital rear-view mirror (or at least the option of one).
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. In the Kia Connect app it does show the preconditioning option but they haven't enabled it yet so maybe a future software update will enable it. With the blind spot monitors in the gauge cluster giving you a live view from the cameras, I don't feel the need for a digital rear view mirror but third party digital rear view mirrors are available on the market.
Many thanks, this is extremely informative. Yesterday I have ordered same specs Gt line 2 and the only issue is to choose the colour.
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it useful 🙂
If you hold the media/AC toggle area you will get the option to choose which you prefer to be persistent on the display. You can then push the button only when you need to toggle to the other set of controls.

Great review, I have an order in for 2023 EV6 GT Pk2 in Runway Red, hopefully it will add wireless CarPlay, integrated garage door opener (which is included with our 2019 SX touring Niro EV) and possibly other improvements in 2023. Fortunately in BC the EV6 qualifies for both the federal government $5,000 rebate and the provincial government $3,000 rebate.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Lucky you for the $8000 rebate.
Muito bom o seu vídeo, não vejo a hora desse carro começar a vender no Brasil. Realmente os melhores vídeos são dos donos, Os repórteres não conseguem ir dão fundo, foram que alguns são comprados.

thank you! got mine coming after over a year!
Congratulations!
@@HighOnCars1 Another question did your EV6 come with a level 1 charger? I'm hearing its like $1400 from Kia ridiculous
Every EV6 in Canada comes with the level 1 charger (EVSE) yes and $1400 is absolutely ridiculous considering you can get a level 2 charger (EVSE) for around CAD 500. I guessing you're not in Canada. You should be able to buy a level 1 charger (EVSE) for a few hundred dollars if someone who doesn't use theirs is selling it. It doesn't even have to be a Kia EVSE. You can buy any aftermarket but from a reputable company and manufactured as per the standards of your country.
@@HighOnCars1 My goodness music to my ears, thank you for the great news, I am in Canada, Vancouver area. Thank you!
I'm guessing you haven't taken the delivery of your EV6 yet otherwise you would've known that it comes with the level 1 charger (EVSE). I've heard they don't come with one in the US which is why you were probably worried. I've never used mine because it's a very slow charger. You can probably manage with it IF you don't drive much but level 2 is the way to go.
Merci! Très bon résumé et très beau vidéo.

I'm dying to get my GT-Line Pack 1 that I ordered on December 13th 2021 but there seems to be a delay on Matte Grey. Hopefully soon. Great review!

Very cool color. I’m waiting too in the Netherlands
Thanks for the information on the EV6.
Anytime 😊
I brought one . In less than a week I had a problem charging AC . I could only charge DC . I took it back to the Kia dealership , they have had the car for over 2 weeks and still not fixed
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I hope they fix it. I've had zero issues with my car. Knock on wood!
Thanks for the detailed review! Just about to order mine (switching from a 2014 Tesla Model S).
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. You didn't consider the Model Y?
@@HighOnCars1 Not really, I have over 300km to the nearest Tesla service center, and 4km to the nearest Kia service center.. Besides, switching from Model S to Model Y seems like a downgrade, better to switch the make so it is more like a sidegrade. :)
Good to know people who like cars and not badges 👍🏽
Really awesome video and so detailed! Learned some things i didnt know about the car. I was wondering what type of real world range you are getting during the summer on a full charge while driving at highway speeds? And what kind of range are you expecting to get during the winter months?
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. I drive in sport mode all the time with the air-conditioning on doing 120 kph and I get 385-405 km on 100% charge in sport mode. Naturally that number goes up if you drive in Normal or ECO.
Very detailed, thank you!
Anytime. I'm glad you found it useful 😊
I got the same ev awd gt line I love it
Congratulations 🎉
Cool video, but the boot space is 490 Liters and not 690
You have to keep the trunk open button pressed to close the trunk, not to open it. To open, you press and hold and then release once it starts opening.
The best tutorial video 👌👍
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful 🙂
Hey you're the first one I've seen talk about the charging speeds on the USB ports.
1. Does the front USB C also do the Super fast charging?
2. Does the front USB A port do regular fast charging, and/or charge while plugged in for android auto?
Thanks!
I like to be thorough 😊
The USB-C ports offer Super Fast Charging and the USB-A port offers regular charging while using Android auto.
@@HighOnCars1 ok so regular charging, no "fast" at all right? I found an adapter online that let's you get fast charging but it's another $20usd and not sure if it ships in Canada haha. When I get my Ev6 I'll consider it if I'm not satisfied with the charging speed while plugged in. Or just get a wireless AA adapter. I just see none that are 100% reliable. All have a few kinks here and there
Yes, regular means not fast at all.
Just wish I could see track details in the instrument cluster.
Yes, would've been nice and something that can easily be added by a software update if they want to.
Great video. I think the EV6 should use GPS to detect it is at Home and do schedule charging there but not if it’s out at public charger
I use the scheduling on the charger and not the car to avoid that confusion.
Thank you for sharing. No it was not long video I learned a lot from you, again thanks. I would like to ask you dose this car has security cameras that records if someone comes close to it? And another question can you download an app to my phone to control the car from away from the car?
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it useful. It does have a bunch of cameras but doesn't have the sentry mode like Tesla. It's a software thing so I'm not sure why they didn't do it. And no, the app cannot be used to "summon" the car.
Thank you for yours review
Anytime. I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to share 😊
Your lucky even to get a non tsla EV . Most EV’s can’t get produced due to material and production limitations. The waiting period is 2 years. Ordered mine 6 months ago and I won’t get it this year.
The Kia EV6 was launched online only in October 2021 and only 200 units were up for grabs and I had a reminder setup to place the order as soon as the ordering portal went online so mine is one of the first 200 that were delivered in Canada. I got mine in April 2022. 6 months later. Been driving it for almost 11 months now and love it. Will make a video of 1 year ownership.
Great details and tips but you forgot to mention the Genesis also has a lot of the same features (and then some) of the ev6...including blindspot monitoring. It's Hyundai's premium brand, and they share the same platform....Protip- you can set a default for the climate/radio controls...if you hold the arrow down to switch radio/climate controls for a few seconds it should give you an option to set the default to either radio or climate, which means that if you set it to climate the next time you are on radio controls it ill switch to climate controls after a few seconds without you having to touch it....this is convenient since people will use that and then use the radio control on the steering wheel instead and that way they don't have to switch back and forth.
Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful. You're right. I should've just said Hyundai Motor Group. And thanks for the pro tip. I'll make a video on it 😊
@@HighOnCars1Great video. I'm waiting for my EV6 delivery later this year. On the subject of the blindspot camera display I'm sure I've seen TH-camrs demo'ing the facility recently released in the last few months by Tesla's OTA update. It was a square video window as opposed to being a round one and a reviewer stated that the feature first appeared a few years ago from another manufacturer, it may have said it was Honda but I can't remember for certain
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Honda definitely doesn't do it. You might be confusing it with Hyundai 😊
@@HighOnCars1 it was definitely Honda. First introduced in 2012 but discontinued in 2019. Still available on the 2022 HR V apparently
I'm pretty sure it doesn't have it but feel free to share the link if you find it.
How many miles for charge? Idk if i missed it. Thanks a lot
It's rated for 441 km on a single charge but I consistently get around 414 which is pretty good considering I use sport mode and airconditioned all the time.
Nice video. Ev 6 long range AWD vs model y long range… which is nicer !
They're both great options and picking one over the other would come down to preferences and the price difference.
For me the EV6 has a better build quality and interior and exterior design and drives more like a car as opposed the the Model Y which offers more cargo space and a 3rd row option which isn't important to me and is not worth the extra money.
@@HighOnCars1 spot on my choice Kia ev 6 too build quality etc 👍
👍🏽
I rather buy a Tesla because you got the best of charging on both worlds you can charge on a test of supercharger and you can charge at the EA and other things long as you got that adapter
Excellent!

Hello, your video is great, I would like to ask how to set the dynamics of the daytime running lights, thank you 0:05
lol just wondering who ask the same question that I want.😂
The daytime running lights are static. The camera is making them look like this.
Was eagerly waiting for this video!!!
I hope you liked it.
@@HighOnCars1 I did. I own a 2018 Kia Optima, so some features I already knew, they kept them the same. But otherwise, this car is great! I had already ordered a Model Y, I still haven't received it yet, and I also have this one in the queue as well. Chances are, I will sell the MY and get this one when it arrives.
I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to share 😊
At 30:07 you said that the brake lights come on automatically as long as you're above level 1 and then followed that statement up with "so it's not a good idea to use them on the highway". What are you referring to with "them"?
I am saying that we should only use level 0 or 1 regen on the highway so if we take our foot off the pedal, the brake light doesn't turn on causing a trailing vehicle to panic at highway speed.
@@HighOnCars1 Thanks. Do you know if it comes on immediately or does it only come on if deceleration is a specific amount?
Immediately. I know because I had a friend drive behind me with him on the phone while getting his feedback as I tried different Regen levels.
@@HighOnCars1 I guess that's better than the alternative. I was driving a Chevy Volt a couple years ago and let regen braking slow me down before a turn. Car behind me laid on the horn. I don't have any proof but I would say the lights may not have been coming on.
Some people are just pricks and waiting for an opportunity to honk so he probably would've done it regardless.

Thank you. If you like your. Feel free to share 😊
When you're in drive assist mode and the car is going to switch lanes, the center screen shows green before switching lanes (at 48:11).... does it also do this if you're manually controlling the car and getting ready to switch lanes?
No. Only when the car is switching lanes for you. It's indicating that it is safe to change lanes.
@@HighOnCars1 Thanks - it would have been a great visual for us humans.
I see your point but they've only incorporated these features for HDA so the humans are aware of what the car can see which would put their mind at ease.
Sorry for my bad English (I'm Dutch). Is it possible to set the right side with the card in a day modus. With blue sky and light ways?
Schrijf in het Nederlands en ik zal vertalen. Ik kan niet echt begrijpen wat je bedoelde.
Kun je het rechter scherm gedeelte ook in een dagmodus zetten? Bij het invoeren van een route gaat dat automatisch, maar als je de kaart in beeld hebt, zonder een route plannen, heb je altijd een donker scherm, dus het lijkt een nachtmodus. Kan dat anders ingesteld worden?
U kunt dag-, nacht- en automatische modi selecteren, maar dit is voor beide schermen. Je kunt niet het ene scherm in de dagmodus hebben en het andere in de nachtmodus.
How did you get the headlight to do that?
If you are referring to the flickering daytime running lights, I already mentioned in the video that it is because of the camera. They are actually static.
Will the summons feature drive itself in and out of the garage?
That's the whole idea. I just demonstrated it in a parking lot. You can do the same thing in and out of a garage.
@@HighOnCars1 - With Tesla Summons you can park the car in the driveway and i will automatically park itself in the garage. Wasn't sure if the sensors are active to maneuver in and out of a garage.
Here's a video showing the EV6 park itself. Parallel and Perpendicular.
th-cam.com/video/r9GqIUcotnc/w-d-xo.html
i really dislike those door handles(EV cars) its so unreliable in case of a crash it needs "POWER" to pop out if there's NO POWER it will not pop out
like that case on a crash tesla with a drunk doctor/atty i forgot
Power is only needed for auto pop up. The door handles can be manually operated as well.
well, you paid a lot. Mine is also a GT-Line AWD with features you are missing and was only 60125 after tax. I haven't got the rebate in the US yet but it's 7500 so the car would be a little over 53K including that.
Not sure if you realized that my price is in Canadian dollars
🤔 wow, it seems you way overpaid for your Kia EV6. We bought the AWD GT-Line with ALL packages and paid €49k after rebates. That's less then $50k. That inlcuded all taxes and delivery fees. I remember the time when cars were much less expensive in the US compared to Europe. I guess those times are over.
If you paid attention, you would have known that I'm in Canada and the price is in Canadian dollars.
@@HighOnCars1 if you had paid attention you would see that the answer was NOT to you. 🤦🏻♂️
My bad 😊
My car!
When did you order it?
I kinda wonder if the Kia badge is intentionally designed to look like K(reverse)N. An abbreviation of Korean is Kn 🤷🏻♂️
Very interesting. I know the abbreviation for Korea is KR. I couldn't find KN for Korean anywhere online but if you know for sure, that's a very interesting fact.
@@HighOnCars1 there's a Korean fried chicken chain in my area called Kn Chicken so I just assume 😀
K&N chicken is also a company that supplies frozen chicken to restaurants and it's not Korean 😜🤣
A Google search shows that KN in Korea means Korean National so you weren't entirely wrong 😁
I'm waiting for min in agony :-(
I ordered back in October, with delivery in May.
But a few weeks before delivery they told me they had to push it back to ultimo December - possibly January :-(
My old car got totaled, so I bought a "temporary" 20 year old Swift to get me around......and it's probably the worst pile of junk I ever drove.
What! If you ordered in October, you must be among the first 200... I ordered in October 2021 and got it in April 2022.
@@HighOnCars1 Likely because I’m in a different country, with different configurations.
It’a a massively popular EV, and every delivery for the first cars went to preorders.
And then the Chinese enforced strict corona lockdowns in Shanghai, which severely disrupted the supply chain to the factory, creating a huge backlog of incomplete orders.
tesla did that to me for the Model Y ( ordered in September 2021) was told I would get inFebruary then they pushed me back to Oct of 2022 So I went straight to KIA with my money and got a GT-Line only a week after talking to them about one.
It will kill audi Etron in pakistan. Even though it would be more than 1 crore in pakistan. Really awesome car
It's a much better vehicle than the Audi e-tron in every way possible and is in much more demand. You can find an e-tron to buy but good luck finding an EV6 😎
Nice walk through. Way too many ads though.
TH-cam decides the ads 🤷🏽♂️
Here in Texas, a black roof would not be popular.
Because of the heat?
@@HighOnCars1 Yeah, the heat. It is not uncommon here to go into a parking lot and 2/3 of the vehicles are white.
I live in South Australia and the sun is one of the (many) reasons I ordered an EV6 over a Tesla. The idea of being stuck under an unshaded slab of glass in the middle of summer sounds awful.
Great video. Interesting that the vehicle costed more than my Tesla Model Y Performance out the door. The black piano plastic in the Kia is a scratch magnet so something to watch out for. Funny how a Chevy Malibu and Honda Civic was wireless Apple CarPlay and android auto, but in the most advance Kia ever you still need to use a cable. The fact that a key fob is needed and you can just use your cellphone is another bummer. It means that Kia outsourced the development of the software for the vehicle it was not done in house. Didn’t see any usage of voice commands so I assume Kia does not have good software in this vehicle. I use voice commands for everything in my Tesla so I don’t have the use the center screen. Too many buttons in the vehicle which is indicative of legacy automakers inability to develop good software that eliminates the need for so many buttons. Because this vehicle was not designed as an ev from the ground up is has a lot of short comings. It’s a car where the ICE. Was swapped for batteries. I am sure Kia will improve their design over time and hope they can get the costs down. I would not pay what they are asking as their are much better options at that price point. The single motor version is a better value for the money.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Clearly you didn't do your research. The EV6 is the first Kia built from the ground up as an EV using their dedicated e-GMP EV platform.
I'm guessing you didn't realize that the pricing is in Canadian dollars and you think your Model Y was cheaper because you're in the States. In Canada the Model Y costs CAD22K more.
Also, Tesla HAS to offer voice command due to the lack of buttons which was to keep the cost down, no an innovation.
Most people prefer buttons than digging into the screens or even using voice commands.
The Model Y does offer a bit more range and a bit more cargo space but it's not worth the extra CAD 22K. It also offers a pretty useless 3rd row for another CAD 4000 which brings the price difference to CAD 26K.
Being a taller vehicle, the Model Y also offers a bit more head room but that effects it's ability to take corners like the EV6.
The EV6 is for people who like cars, not badges.
Also, the Model Y LR is slower 😁😜😎
Lamento que no estés a la altura de las circunstancias, y por eso defiendas tu Tesla, Tesla es un buen coche, pero ahora mismo no el mejor que hay en el mercado. El EV 6 está mas avanzado tecnológicamente que tu coche. Y en cuanto a botones, es cuestión de gustos, personalmente un coche por que sea eléctrico no debe renunciar a este diseño, y el de Tesla a mi no me dice nada. Saludos
@@HighOnCars1 preach!
I love the rakish facade!
KIA would be my next car. The insurance is pretty lower than other brands. They have one of the lowest problems to occur during the ownership. My former family BMW was stalled on a street and the engine was burning with smoke on my way home...gas guzzler. If i get similar performance in a electric car then awesome.
I've ordered exactly the same car (in black). But I have to wait until January... :-(
It's worth the wait 🙂
