We're taking a look at Exterior, Interior and the driving experience.
The EV6 was second on our ranking when we shopped for an EV in 2023. We bought a BMW i4 e40 msport instead. The higher price was worth it forl better driving dynamics and interior appointments. Also better efficiency. In the first 40,000 miles of 70/30 highway/local driving, we have averaged 4 mi/kWh in summer and 3.5 in winter. Best numbers are high 4s and the worst is 3.0 when temps are under 10 degrees F. The updated EV6 appears to be improved, but I wish they put more effort into making it more efficient.
Thank you, Thomas and Lea, for an excellent car review! Keep up the fun Shorts full of innovative details! Personally, the rear of the EV6 will never be my favorite.😊

Super interesting about the steering calibration. Also I like that Thomas was worried we would think he was just making up the fact the charging flap closes when Drive is selected.
I've always wondered how different this Kia is from the Hyundai Ioniq 5. In my country there are many Hyundai I5 used as taxis, and it is half the price of the KIA. Very good review as always 👏🏻
@autogefuehl thanks for the reply! Seeing the similarities and the shared technology, choosing an Ioniq 5 makes sense in my opinion. The facelifted version is €35.000 and the EV6 is €56.000, discounted. Taxi companies in Albania seem to love them. Many drivers have confirmed to me that these cars are used almost 24/7, and rest only when charging or during routine maintenance. This is a good info to prove the reliability of both these models (since they share tech).
I don't know if it is different in this video or I am just noticing it, but Leah is really good with the camera and she is in sync with Tomas. Nice review!

Just recently testdrove this car based on your review of the previous generation. Have to say it was a bit disappointing. The infotainment was not really intuitive, steering too heavy and couldn't find any way to change that, seating also wasn't good longer term, and the ride was too stiff. Even on the Dutch highway it was uncomfortable and those are the best highways in the EU. What I did like were the ADAS systems. The EV6 was very confident in lane keeping and changing lanes. Very impressive. Audio system was also very good. Ultimately though it lost out to the BYD Sealion 7 Excellence AWD.
Ouch. Thanks for another gr8 review,the problem with the ev3 if I’m correct is you only get a heat pump in top trim making it too expensive for what looks like a plastic( made from oil) vehicle.
Since EV's model changes are way way shorter than N.A. vehicles, plus they depreciate immensely, have less materials (also tons of wirings more prone to get brittle) they need to drastically reduce prices. Honestly.
this would be the perfect work car for me - but I wish these EV companies would be more forthcoming with the cost to replace the battery packs....I don't buy a new car every 5 years - more like every 15 years.
I was waiting for that comment 😄 we do the cars that are newly launched no matter which powertrain. That can differ a lot, but it can also be 10 EVs in a row or 10 combustion engines in a row. Depends mainly on the launch schedule

Thanks for the report, interesting!
I will buy a EV when Thomas buys a EV.
You buy EV when electricity in Germany falls to half price. Otherwise, I see zero reasons to buy one
Just a follower 😂
Maybe I can get a group discount then with some brand 😁
Thank you, Thomas and Lea, for an excellent car review! Keep up the fun Shorts full of innovative details! Personally, the rear of the EV6 will never be my favorite.😊
Thanks so much for the support my friend 🙏🙏

I understand. Thanks for your integrity.
KIA is very serious car producer. Design is questionable, but technology and price wise is top
Super interesting about the steering calibration. Also I like that Thomas was worried we would think he was just making up the fact the charging flap closes when Drive is selected.
😎
I've always wondered how different this Kia is from the Hyundai Ioniq 5. In my country there are many Hyundai I5 used as taxis, and it is half the price of the KIA. Very good review as always 👏🏻
thanks! They both share same tech, they are not too different actually.

Sounds good! In comparable trims they should not differ in price that much?
I don't know if it is different in this video or I am just noticing it, but Leah is really good with the camera and she is in sync with Tomas. Nice review!
She s great in that indeed!
It's a thing of beauty.
8:06 at least its not gloss black anymore... same with the trim around shifter.

I don’t like the design and the color. But I like driving it
I like both.
Not fast enough to set off the Lea meter ? Surprised by that, or maybe she is getting to used to the acceleration of these electric cars ?
Probably 😁
Love it as an alternative to the Swasticars
Love it
I think we should switch roles here....let Lea review the car and Thomas hold the camera 😊
Never!
We re thinking of some more roles for Lea, the full stuff of course here remains for me since she s not that into numbers 😁

Thanks 🙏 price difference depends on trim of course, tried to go into the differences throughout the review
Over 60k of 2022-2024 EV6 on factory recall, can this one be garaged?
Thomas, you would look really good driving your own i4. Can’t BMW give you a discount? 😊
😅 have never asked for any special treatment
i4 is nice for sure, like the 4 GC: th-cam.com/video/eM26kT18ijI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jT0h64_y6XoLQbEc

Id much rather have this than a model 3 or Y. Zeekr 7X and Ioniq 5 are the only cars at a similar price I’d consider
Good choice! Much better than Tesla
The standard boring black/dark interior which is a total turn off for me on majority of Korean cars.
Is it a EV channel now?
I was waiting for that comment 😄 we do the cars that are newly launched no matter which powertrain. That can differ a lot, but it can also be 10 EVs in a row or 10 combustion engines in a row. Depends mainly on the launch schedule
Better than tesla shit
I would never buy car with that kind of stupid door handles
How to make our cars uglier? Yes.
Kia interior is now clearly superior to "premium" brands like BMW and Audi
First🥴
welcome!
Thomas you’ll never buy an EV 😊
Why is that?
Front: Renault Megane 4 from ali express. 😂
Very unfair when ev6 has been around much longer
They look nothing alike.
No good compared to Chinese evs
I have moved on to BYD and very satisfied with the quality for the money
