Wishing Mark a swift recovery! That bench isn't gonna warm itself.
@@TFT-bp8zk heat death of the universe isn't about heating up, but rather everything eventually reaching near absolute zero
@@LOLHICRONO u guys talking about earth titlt ice age cycles aka "climayte change" or just universe reaching neutrality eventuallly .. lol
I see, so smoked meat con was to get the protein gains nessisary. Smart.
He couldn't warm enough of the bench with his peasant short legs.
@@kalmmonke5037 no they arent lmao
My favorite part is when KIA REDACTED. That KIA REDACTED really showcased why they KIA REDACTED.
Kia really said “It’s redacting time” and redacted all over them, truly the car manufacturer of all time.
@@stingerredshock3418 yep. More like one of the most beautiful EV cars made.
@@damarfadlan9251 The most EV cars of all time*, get it right
Say what?
KIA BOYZ!!
Jack's comfort in presentation here is night and day from his first solo on a 370z. Amazing progress
This is actually Mark in a Jack suit, on stilts.
I 100% agree, he's now throwing banter around and seems like he's confident in his own skin. I always knew Jack Business had it in him.
Agreed. Jack is coming into his own. He's a goose, not just a co-host. Now we just need to see him review a car that he hates, so we can see how savage of a goose he can truly be. :)
@@ramadjones they attacked the terrible Buick Encore GX quite well.
@@jeffruebens8355 that’s too easy lol
Man, Jack's cackles of joy during the track impression brings me much happiness.
Hilarious to see the smoke through the rear window as Jack is laughing.
It shows me yet again that excessive mass doesn't work on-track. Current EVs are fast in a straight line. Period.
@@rlsedition EVs are actually really good when equiped for the track because all of the weight is at the bottom and it has a lower center of gravity but okay bro
True story. I’ve seen model 3’s with after market struts and slick tires set track records around the midwest.
@@dunteman_racing You can't fool the laws of physics - the lousy battery technology means all EVs are too heavy, a negative for handling, no matter the HP level.
All that KIA REDACTED really was the difference maker in the specs for this ride.
When I’m waiting for my wife and her boyfriend to be done having their alone time at night, these videos help me distract myself from my marital and financial situation. Thanks guys!
It's a good sign when Jack giggles on the track. This was a great review and showing the positives and negatives of this unique car.
As a Korean I really appreciate you using Korean music throughout the video, I've never heard of the song but it definitely made the video feel a lot closer to home, it felt kinda personal in a good way, if you know what I mean lol. I love the EV6 GT and what Kia/Hyundai's been doing recently, I wish nothing but the best for both companies moving forward.
When I heard about Mark's leg extensions all I thought was the south park episode and heard Ms Garison saying "my balllllls"
Finally a review that makes thoughtful comparisons and contrasts instead of just shooting it down a drag strip.
Just came from a video from The Straightpipes and they gave your channel a shout out. I’m surprised you guys haven’t received 1 million subscribers yet but I hope you hit that landmark next year. Always love your videos.
I absolutely agree with that 100%.
They've worked together in the past... Mark came down to Toronto do a collab on a Genesys video I believe, too lazy to do a channel search but it's deff there.
@@MrValy128 you are right. I learned about crow from a few collab he did with ant.
How can Jack giggling around the track not put a smile on your face?
Incredible production quality on every video. I don’t understand how these don’t get millions of views. I hope that it’s lucrative and is well worth continuing making content. Never stop.
Awesome review as usual, Jack. Marks vocals on the music were on point! Happy Holidays!
OMG Jack's laugh is something else. If that's not a good endorsement for the vehicle, I don't know what is!
I personally thought I preferred the Ioniq but man, I saw one of these in person and iI can’t deny that it was quite striking.
Its hard to choose between the two. I would be happy with either choice.
They call it a "crossover" but I think it's very wagon-like, so I think it tickles that conceited urge that everyone has to have to have a sport wagon.
Mmmm…. Striking looks?’
Wow it’s like bring back the wedge designs of the 1970s-80’s’!
That’s an elusive description for any ev in my book👍
Yeah man about a year ago I was dead set on getting an IONIQ 5 and thought the EV6 just looked weird in videos. But then I saw both in person, and as handsome as the IONIQ is, the EV6 flat out looked like a spaceship. The rest is history. I've owned an EV6 First Edition (matte gray, fully loaded) for about a year now and it's just an amazing vehicle. Just don't buy one if you don't like attention. And yeah, as someone else mentioned, it's not a crossover, definitely a wagon.
@@0hypnotoad0 people don’t like the word wagon or hatchback in America and some other places too.
Most EVs have to be aerodynamic therefore they end up being fastbacks, wagons, or hatchbacks. But there are not set tiles therefore they can be called SUVs or crossovers by anyone
That missed lay-up killed me lmaoooo
The humor on this channel and in the comments is 👌
Even though Mark is healing from his premium [Kia redacted] surgery, it was great to hear him singing in the transitions and exterior montages. I hope his premium [Kia redacted] surgery went well.
Great video, Jack. And as a Korean American EV6 owner I laughed when I heard the Korean pop soundtrack. Nice touch.
The pairing of the kpop soundtrack with the video is very high culture. And I just love all the Kia redacted parts, so informative
Good review. Often when manufacturers put on events like this, it leads to a lot of parroting by automotive journalists of the mfgr’s talking points and ultimately more favorable reviews than deserved. This was well balanced and interesting. Thanks.
But that’s exactly what this is. They even had the guy from Kia talking as much as the host.
@@Ojisan642 But it's not, and that's why we love this channel. They let the product guy from Kia drone on and stumble over his words, then overlayed it with KIA REDACTED, all in slight satire. Love it.
These EVs are not for the environment, they are made for your loan money and your distance limitations.
My "T" Level plummeted after hearing that song multiple times throughout the video . Great review as always Jack!
I definitely did not expect the music you guys selected. I'm so used to the royalty free music on American reviews haha
Beautifully done!
Man that intro was unexpected, great video as always!
I'm sure Jack was carrying very high speeds into those turns but even so that thing looks like it understeers like a snow plow truck. Still looks fun though!
Yeah manufacturers are always going to set up cars to understeer, especially for how electric car people drive….🤣
Money don’t buy skills lol
I did see a decent amount of understeer but it looked very willing to rotate if needed/wanted. It looked like lots of fun.
Saw this car for the first time on the street. The design definitely has a presence and surprisingly wide and unique
Can't wait to see the Kia boys pick one of these up and start doing tandems with the Charger Daytona Banshees in the back of a JCPenny.
I like the Motor1 fill in temp co-host, but he can't fill the new tall shoes of our future Chicago Bulls champ. Wishing you the best recovery!
Appreciated the Piano Black soundtrack.
Well Done!
Amazing video and thank you for showing the skid pad segment! The only reason I want to buy one of these is to bang 3 second 0-60s after dropping the kids off at daycare and vaporize the tires with 500lb/ft of torque when nobody is around. I feared the electronic nanny’s would prevent this as no car reviewer discusses what the stability “off”state really means in an EV. Now all we need is an aftermarket software to choose your fake engine noise, will it be LFA or jaguar V8 today? I’m not joking, not everyone lives in the canyons of California and we have our fun where we can.
Did they really have Mark dress up just to go out and film him missing a layup just for a 3 second bit? If there was ever a doubt on which is the most dedicated car channel on TH-cam... These guys are the best.
The background music had me in tears 😂. Great review.
Before barking about details, remind yourself how far KIA has come within a short period of time. It's astounding.
🎵🎶 Can you hear my heaaart🎵🎵
🤣 nice touch guys
I like new Uncle Mark. He makes a fine stand in for my real dad, Mark. Don't know why he wrestles my mom so much though.
I've turned into a weirdly fanatic Polestar fan because of how much fun I have goofing off with it, but watching you cackle as you try to describe drifting around the track... I might have to try one of these out when it's time to replace my current vehicle.
Jack is an animal. He could make a Kubota tractor go sideways.
🤣🤣
🦍🦍🦍
I like its uniqueness and I especially like that it's not pretending to be a Mustang.
Because it's not American. Which is a good thing.
Man, Mark has such a rich life outside of Savagegeese!
Excellent review! Hyundai / Kia is creating some awesome new products with the EV6 GT and the Ioniqs.
It serves its purpose well I guess. Most perspective buyers are looking for a comfortable, everyday “commuter” that can also destroy everyone off the line or on a roll when they feel like it. In that sense, it’s just about perfect.
I’m just here to say I’m happy to see another Patagonia certified review 🤘🏻
The thought and execution effort that goes into each video is incredible. Love it
We need the GTI equivalent EVs for us people with normal family budgets!
It's a Bolt EV. Cheaper than a GTI. 200hp/266lb-ft tq, $26-31k.
A 2nd attempt at e-Golf called ID-Golf would be too logical. DENIED! Charge $30k more , e-tron e-RS 3!
Prius XSE phev. 220hp 6.6 sec 0-60.
Ahh that jump shot was all I needed to see today.
What a ton of fun. From normally the world of Grandma Understeer land, this is breath fresh air. Way cool Kia!
Wow Mark, speedy recovery!
You had that car singing around those corners!
"Mark couldn't make it because he's trying out for the Chicago Bulls."
Nice try Jack, but we all know Mark and Alex Caruso are the same person.
I'm excited about ioniq 5 N as Hyundai-Kia hinted it as more track capable car than EV6 GT! That being said, even outside of spec sheet, I can't believe that this KIA basically blows very thing in its price range out of water! If you look at max re-gen numbers, max sustained load, and charging speed, it makes Mach-E or Polestar look like it's from 2 generations ago!
That's because Fords EVs basically are from a generation ago. I've owned an EV for about 5 years and have taken it coast to coast and back, and from experience I'd say a lot of the finer details of EV specs and generations are sort of meaningless mumbo-jumbo so long as the car itself is realistically capable of doing the things you need it to do. The F150 Lightning has blatantly bad DC fast charging, but if it's just serving as a fleet truck or a contractor truck that only drives within a 150 miles radius and only charges from AC, then the DC fast charging features are kind of irrelevant - conversely, for rich people who like to tow horses or fifth wheel glampers, then the towing range and lousy DCFC just won't cut it. Similarly, the Mach-E is probably just going to be a suburb crawler that is kept in a garage and drive a circuit to the office or a whole foods, and does an occasional short out-of-town trip. It's nice to have blisteringly fast DC fast charging, but realistically if that feature only saves you 20 minutes per year it's probably not a feature that's worth a lot of consideration. I think a lot of peoples "first EV" experience will be dictated by over-purchasing, and then over the years realizing that a lot of the features they paid for, like a massive battery or blistering DC charging, haven't actually been used very much.
@@0hypnotoad0 Yeah, but Kia/Hyundai EVs are cheaper with much better efficiency... as I said above charging speed is kinda relevant in terms of re-gen braking and sustaining the power-load...
EV6 with 77.4kwh battery has same performance/range as Mach E with 90kwh battery while EV6 with 58kwh battery is only marginally worse performing than Mach E with 70kwh shows that it's not just the range. It's whole spectrum of things....
@@racesuey The efficiency of e-GMP cars seems slightly meh, the Ioniq 5 and EV6 AWD variants are downright hungry on the highway.
Still, overall I think Hyundai and Kia are killing it, they are offering cutting edge EV features for a very cut-rate price. Still, I don't really buy into Mr. Goose's mentality of "generations" or "obsolescence," if a vehicle still has wheels and it has the features to do what it needs to do, then it's not "obsolete." I think if you like to road trip a lot and your car is going to spends a lot of time at the DC fast charger, an 800v EV is the better option.
However, if your car is mostly just a work/commuting appliance that rarely road trips and lives and breathes AC charging, then there's nothing wrong with a previous gen car so long as it has the range and efficiency to meet your needs
@@0hypnotoad0 I think you are confusing efficiency with range because E-GMP cars have smaller battery than competitors. If you look at real world testing of E-GMP cars, their efficiency (although varies by speed mostly due to fixed gear ratio of electric cars other than Taycan/Etron GT) is on the higher end especially if you consider their price tag especially compare to Mach-E which is extremely inefficient. Also, in city mpg where these regen and 800v architecture really shines, E-GMP cars are definitely on more efficient side.
Also, this may be less of an problem in USA but many Asian countries are thinking about putting time limit to the EV charger as most EVs are charged at public charger and infrastructure can't keep up with the number of EVs and future proofing car is needed in these countries.
all this track capability stuff is just marketing BS. these things are done after a few hard laps on a real track and onl have their acceleration going for them, the drive like ass. with a ver few notable exceptions like the taycan but even the taycan won't do more than a few laps
The Korean music at the beginning was a nice touch
years ago I saw a TH-cam video where they removed the Orchestral scores from scenes in Jaws and Star Wars. The "impact" of the scenes was totally lost without the music. And now we have cars without a soundtrack...no orchestra, just a polite whining noise. Might as well have the TV on in the background to help fall asleep.
I’d love to see a Savagegeese photography / videography special sharing their production techniques, equipment, and workflow.
I don’t really think that will ever happen but I’m new to photography and appreciating how much effort these guys are putting in solely on the production overhead.
4:45 - 4:54 the most Product Manager thing ever said I'm dead 😂💀
Great video. I have a sports car for sports car things, so this appeals to me. It has enough sporty features to still be fun, but I can tone it down when I need to.
As someone who has a Stinger GT, I'm very interested in this vehicle but not for buying unfortunately. The deal breaker is the range unfortunately. 200 miles/360 kms. That's with a brand new battery pack, fully charged. Drive in cold temperatures, drive enthusiastically, use the heater/AC etc and the range is even less.
It will be like using my smartphone. Constantly and frequently plugging it in for recharging. I don't think I could handle that. For me, I would be going from filling up once a fortnight to plugging in multiple times a week.
200 mile range... keep it charged for daily use 80%. That gives you daily range 160. Now add in cold weather hit for people like me in CO. Some people are complaining of 20-50% hit in cold weather in range. So, you will end up with a car with about as much range as an old Nissan Leaf.
Mark on that riding the pine tip 🤭
I've been seeing one of these at my weekly AA meetings. How good is the self-driving? (Asking for a friend).
Good to see Jack getting in touch with his roots, hope the review was not biassed ....😆
I doubt any EV can be compared to a Taycan for ride and handling. but how does this compare to i4M50? Btw, like the background Korean music.
If the NBA isn’t wise enough to scoop Mark up, there is room for egregious dunking on middle school teams or old school donut shops.
That road looks amazing to drive on 🤤
0:24, I don’t think I’ve seen athleticism like that since the late great Wade Boggs
the fade in to the complete air ball sent me
The begining of the video was top tier
Sadly, Hyundai/Kia's terrible reputation in the US due to horrible dealer experiences, poor long term reliability, and being known for refusing to honor their own warranty makes the brands inconsiderable for many.
It was the spontaneous engine combustion that did it for me haha
Not too dissimilar from what people have experienced with other brands. German brands, I find, tend to be better at honoring warranty but their cars will definitely be in the shop a lot more, and the Japanese are no longer what they used to be (I talk from experience). The best service experiences I've had have been with Mercedes Benz and Infiniti (junk products today, unfortunately) and the worst has been with Ford and Lexus, ironically. Hyundai/Kia has been a hit or miss for me (mostly dependent on dealership) but nowhere as near bad as Ford and Lexus. I got into Lexus following recommendations and word of mouth. It was the worst mistake. My LS460 was the most problematic car I had ever owned and Lexus corporate would not acknowledge the issues nor provide solutions for a NEW car. Dealership was of little help on fixing issues, as there was barely any support from corporate. Nothing wrong with the powertrain though, that worked flawlessly, it was mostly peripheral components such as the ill renowned brake actuator (a hazard, clearly), faulty ML audio system (amplifiers burning out more than once, subwoofers, etc), and warping plastics (class action lawsuit, google it). Paint finish was also nothing to write home about. And we're talking about an $80K car here. You can look up all of these issues on the Lexus forums if you don't believe me. People have an obsession with glorifying Lexus when it's been steadily declining in quality over the last decade. I learned from my mistake, never again!
@@philhenderson3516 i had every single generation of the lexus LS and they’ve been exceptionally reliable.
Does my anecdote cancel out yours?
@@watuwantt It does NOT. I'm happy to hear you've had a good experience which is what I wished for myself. Unfortunately, for me and many others, it hasn't been a positive one. Again, you can look up all of these issues in the Lexus forum, I'm not making anything anything up.
5:44 why is that part blurred out? and why is Kia censoring your videos? do they have to approve your content before it’s uploaded ?
is this just a fancy kia ad?
The fresh air and sporting activity makes Mr Goose look young. Great short take video with mix of PR footage, tech interviews and driving. I can't really tell if this EV6 is VW Golf sized of BMW x3 sized, or tall Stinger sized.
It’s large. Think short Palisade.
Smaller than an X3, bigger than a golf. More like an X2.
AWESOME VIDEO
Don’t know why I’m watching this as I have no interest in EVs. But I’m happy to support this great channel.
EVs are the best invention since eggnog, but 99% of them are far beyond my budget.
@@davidmccarthy6061 If you like them for the instant torque party trick or the quietness (assuming you turn off the stupid fake engine noise) of the ride I get it. However, many favor them for being “green” which is far far less true than most realize. When you weigh the harvesting of battery minerals including mining and diesel powered equipment needed, cost and difficulty of battery recycling, coal needed for recharging, etc, they are less green than many small cars. The marketing folks have done a good job hiding the truth though.
Yes jack, I can hear your heart
I love the warranty these batteries have! 10 year 100k miles is awesome.
People aren't cross shopping between tycan and kia.
While this car has impressive performance, and is a “bargain” compared to other performance EV’s. Let’s not pretend that $60K is cheap or affordable to most people. I long for the days where a decent performance car could be had for $30K brand new.
My biggest problem with EV’s besides lack of driver involvement/ weight. Is the fact they are so damn expensive.
Even affordable cars are marked up beyond belief. Bad time to be a car enthusiast.
If government wasn't forcing the automakers hands on pushing EVs I don't think EVs would ever last long enough to justify the continued production. The cost is way too high for most people, and the used market is not viable either given the risk of battery replacement costs.
Nice, balanced review Jack.
No one who looks to purchase this GT is cross shopping the Porsche. It’s a reasonably priced sport EV SUV that outperforms the petrol/gas performance SUV’s and is an alternative to Tesla.
The Kia Boys just got an upgrade
These things will literally be targeted like an Apple store in San Francisco.
This track review makes me happy. Seems very fun to drive.
How does that 80/20 torque split work in conjunction with the theoretical combined output of the two electric motors ? Full output can only be achieved with 50/50 split right ?
Great video! The engineering on these cars is incredible 😱
The music got me 😂
wish you would have aimed a go pro at the range estimate during the track segment
Yes Jack yes! Great review
Looks like a great vehicle. Love the Korean music too
I love the power, but the looks are ...ruff . The worsening QC and warranty denials dont help. ITs sad because they have pushed the tech and styles while some others are afraid too. Maybe they need to slow down and focus on the QC and customer service first. Its hard to get back the people you refused to help when your product fails.. especially early engine issues.
Piano black playing on the sound system is so damn funny
I'm surprised with how much you talked about how much it weighs that you didn't mention where the weight is. Being an EV, even though it's massive, a large percentage of the weight is at the bottom of the vehicle. The battery placement helps keep such a heavy and, in the case of cuvs and SUVs, normally vertical oriented vehicle planted and stable. Very cool 👍😎
Quality content as always fellas. Please don't ever go away like my papa did 🤝
Jack was visibly laboring, although I always appreciate people who can manage to entertain themselves. If he can play his K-pop playlist more often would be great.
That Adelyn Paik music sounds really good
First ev of almost consider, prefer 50k even if unrealistic. Sadly my flyover state commute means in a few years plus winter I'd have pretty bad range anxiety
Lmao at the cloud of tire smoke Jack left on track on his first drift. You know, if this came in a sedan that was slightly lighter it might be kind of interesting 🤔
As fun as this might sound, the ~200 mile range probably hurts this product more than it helps. Yeah you can drive it in batsh*t insane mode - but for how long before the batteries run out of juice?
Yes it's still cheaper than its competition on paper but you know this is getting marked up to more like $80k. It's not worth it.
Your range is going to be even less when you remember LI batteries shouldn't be charged past 90% so you are looking at 180 miles of range. It's the same price as a model 3 performance but with almost 60% less range and similar performance. Granted I'm sure the Kia is built better and has more equipment. I've driven the 1st edition Kia and it was pretty solid something I can say with confidence is the model 3 wasn't as solid but still would rather take the slower gt line or wind AWD over the gt performance.
If you own a home or a condo it won’t be a problem.and if you drive normal I promise you can get more range. I am getting over 310 on my gt line
@@bigdi77 which model of the gt line? AWD or RWD? I drive 80 miles minimum in a day so the gt would not work for me at all. No going out of state as the closest non Tesla charger outside of the city is 240 miles away if I wanted to go to Nevada. Now my M3LR I have no such issues. There are way more Tesla charger on the roads when leaving to go to other states. Also Tesla has a much better rep for having functional chargers than every other brand.
@@aRANDOMqUICKIEgunsandfun I have the awd with the 20s on. the range is summer fall and spring range.right now I am getting 250 nomal mode with highway and a little back roads. I am thinking the gt should get about 240 range in the warmer season and in the cold season 190 range just a guess
@@bigdi77 I think that summer range on the gt will be more like 220 at most going off of your summer range. Your only getting about 10% more than EPA. These motor are much bigger this more weight and that's the enemy of range on EV's. Your winter range is also a 10% deficiency on the EPA range so I think 180 is a better guess. Not range figures that really encourage driving across states. This is more of a fun second car and not a good primary car.
With Kia & Hyundai reliability issues and now the KIA REDACTED I would steer clear of this SUV or any of their vehicles until they fixe their issues and honor their warranties in a timely fashion. I feel bad saying that because I really like what both companies have done with car designs and the value propositions these vehicles offer but those points are moot if they aren't reliable.
I regularly blow up kia and hyundai motors used before the warranty goes out and they seem to replace them with some haggling.
Look at reliability of Kia in current years and get past of old image of Kia.
@@bhbae1 Kia posted a 55% hit to their profit in Q3 of 2022 and Hyundai posted about 77% hit to their profit. All this due to warrant claims on their failing and faulty POS engines. Get off that [Kia Redacted].
@@bhbae1 I am specifically talking about reliability issues in the past few years.
2:10 eGMP sounds like a real nice VR experience.
Those intros explaining where the heck is Mark lol🤣😂🤣
Gotta say, what an amazing ev car,wow
I am so tired of ev manufacturers touting an 800v architecture as enabling super fast charging. All that does is reduce the mass of cabling, the heat generated in the motors, and possibly in the on board charger. You are NOT slapping the individual cells with 800 volts. They are seeing the same voltage as the cells in an ev with a 400v architecture.
It’s a shame I could only like this comment once! I know not every car reviewer is an engineer, but I’ve yet to hear even one of them get this right.
can't unsee mark in that jersey 🤣
