I’d had my GT for 9 months - its an amazing car…ive had 911’s an rs6 an f10 m5 and it just beats them all hands down, yes a different driving experience but so effortlessly quick in wet or dry and will tootle around if you need it !
It's _sort of_ like an E63, M5 or RS6... no one 'needs' ~600hp from a family car, but it's fun! When the opportunity arises, planting your foot and watching the scenery blur past is fun :D This is Kia having a laugh.
I have an ev6 gt just put over 10,000 miles on it in 6 months no regrets with it at all. Had a few scary moments in gt and collected 3 points when blipped it for a second to clear some traffic to get back in slow lane. The regen braking is unbelievable and hardly have to touch brake pedal. On inspection at 10k only 5% of brake pad wear and 6mm front 5mm rear tyre tread still remaining.
If you think this car is nuts, wait until Hyundai give you an Ioniq 5N for a week....
Thanks, I have the GTS line AWD and it spends nearly all its life in Eco mode, I find sport mode unpleasant and only use it to demonstrate to friends how fast it is. The loss of range really puts me off, and I suspect those 21 inch wheels will make the drive a bit harsh, never mind the cost of tyres. Mine with 20 inch wheels will cost £1000 to replace all 4, but boy do they look cool.
My EV6 is by far the best car I have ever owned, I previously had a Niro and the front wheels were always spinning and slipping when pulling out of a junction, the EV6 AWD only really uses all AWD when it is needed, and I have never had any wheel spin.
I find my Kia E Niro lives in ECO mode in the winter, saves the tyres and keeps it safer. The EV6 GT would be crazy as an everyday car and the very low efficiency puts me off. I love the idea of a super fast car, but sense takes over. Great review.
My Taycan has the same issue with tyres on full lock. It’s called the Ackerman affect and common on performance cars in winter. On my car it occurs below 10C ambient temperature and goes away when the tyres warm up. My tyres and maybe also the EV6 are summer tyres and in winter we are supposed to fit winter tyres. Summer tyres have a lot less grip in winter and also the braking performance is worse.
Racer hop … Alfa Giulia’s do it too. It’s a sign of a car with a performance biased front suspension setup
If I am the only driver, I wouldn't mind manual seat adjustment. But if there is more than one driver, auto adjustment is a big plus, combined with mirrors, driving profile etc.
I'm the only driving for my GT so I don't mind it but yes it would've been a deal breaker if I needed to share my GT which I don't even trust anyone else at this time. 😊
Liked the Bruce impression at 13:35 - that's Forsyth not Willis BTW. Have a great Christmas both!
Cheers guys
Very good review. In typical Yorkshire winter weather. When I drove an EV6 AWD I never thought, "what this needs is another 256bhp". Driving you Mii quickly would be more fun as you could find the limits without a big accident or a lot of points.
I have the RWD, which is great. Maximum range out of any of the models available and gets you where you need to go as quickly as possible. Very occasionally I wish I had the AWD (really bad weather). Even the RWD will spin it's tyres in cold weather in the wet (in sport mode), but the TC is amazingly good at bringing you into line. The problem is, you can't test it's limits on the road.
@@IanMcc1000 I think the RWD is the smart choice. Plenty quick enough with a bigger range and larger frunk.
This is why we want a hot hatch, even in the dry you couldn't go on the tops without being nervous of the pointlessly wide car getting stuck with another stupid range rover or something doing the dance in a passing place
You can use it in My Mode in any weather if you want to make a setup you like.
I have the EV6 GT LINE S. and trust me that’s well quick enough and you still get a good range plus the extras like the electric seats and sun roof. As with all cars the more power you have the less range you get that goes for petrol or electric. I drive mine in eco mode in winter and normal in Sumer time and only use sport mode when I need that quick overtake.
Ditto. AWD EV6 is so quick and stable in the real world it is superb. Did take a few 000 miles to really know the car.
I drive in exactly the same manner in my MG4 Xpower.
4.2 mls/kwhr versus 2.0! Quite sensible or bonkers fun😈
"I don't know why you want so much power from a family car"
Tesla Model S Plaid has left the chat.
I am 67 and this has changed my opinions, but for the real world I want luxury and range, above all else, it's hard enough keeping a clean license driving any car these days.
If you drive a normal road car 20+ laps on a circuit at speed you will wear out all your suspension, steering rack, brakes and tyres.
Genesis GV60 next I think.
I have those seats in my i30n - they are called n-lite by Hyundai and they are optional… no electrics to save weight. Confirm they are as comfortable on long trips as the are for hooning. And you can cook a roast on them!
In two words, "Jekyll And Hyde"?!
It is good that cars like this exist because it brings choice and could help Kia learn more and develop. From the Ioniq 5 N looks more interesting. A 2.2 ton EV is not a track car.
Wondering if all seasons tyres would still make that noise with their softer compound 😊
Interesting review. I can honestly say I've never experienced all four wheels losing traction, or that feeling of spinning of into a hedge in my model 3 performance , track mode means I can dial some character if I want to and I love a Q car . So I agree with EVM, the kia seems too compromised for the sake of pub bragging rights. For the same money if you didn't want a tesla the Ioniq 5 N might be worth a look.
That's cos tesla has the best traction control. I live in central norway, and everywhere is ice and snow right now. If i stamp the power on a sheet of ice the wheels scrabble for about quarter of a revolution and then the just rolls forward. It's truly amazing in winter conditions.
I like the Genesis GV60 mentioned but also like this without GT, not for me but can appreciate it nonetheless
I think it will sell better down south, where it’s a lot drier 🤪😂😂😂😂 Happy Christmas 🎄 ⛄️⛄️🎅🎄🎄
bring 1min reviews back🤞😉
For me, it’s a Renault Zoe. For a small car, it’s a good, reliable piece of kit!!
Just don’t ever get involved in a bad car crash 👍
When will we be able to get vehicle to home / grid bidirectional charging on Kia
I’ve ordered a twin motor Volvo ex30 and I’m getting the feeling I’ve maybe made a mistake…but it’ll be terrifying finding out
'Standard ev6' - still looks mad, good from thr front bad fron the back
I was due to get the EV6 GT line but ended up getting the base level Genesis GV60 and it came down to rarity value. I live in Warrington and I’ve seen a few KIA EV6 but I’ve only seen 1 Genesis GV60…
Rarity? Consider an Allegro Vanden Plas. See one of them still driving and you are looking at true rarity. 🙂
The GV60 is smaller and only looks nicer on the inside but the don't have a sporty version like the GT or GT-line. The front of the GV60 looks decent but the back is ugly imo and I don't like the split window design. It's really hard to see in the rear mirror.
hi what about the volvo xe30 awd 0.60 3.5 ???

I share the car with the mrs and hate electric seats, as soon as i open the door im slowly moving the seat back. Miss the ability to fire the seat back with a nice sprung handle!
You could disable the movement in the setting on the EV6. The entry and exit isn't needed so much with my flat bottom wheel on my GT. I don't mind the manual seats cause I'm the only driver. I got laying back quick with the handle as well. Now just putting it back is semi hard to get the right setting again.
The Top Trumps of Kia
I test drove an EV6 GTline this summer, last thing it needed to be was any faster 🤦
Didn't like it, whilst not exactly feeling unsafe I didn't feel settled or comfortable. I also thought it a bit cheap looking compared to the Niro & Sportage.
How would it go as a tow vehicle? A Range Rover Sport will tow 5.3tonnes.
That is too much car for me. But, this Saturday i am picking up my 2024 EV6 rear wheel drive long range. And it has more power than i need.
Nice car!! Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the fact that it’s not unattractive!!
These are going cheap on our Salary Sacrifice scheme -£603 per month for 12k miles pa.
A Model Y Perf is £831 per month and the Model 3 LR is £705 per month. [The updated TM3 Perf doesn’t exist yet].
A Polestar 2 Performance with all options is £770.
So you can see the bargain the EV6 GT is currently
You’re paying the depreciation a lease scheme and EV6 has great residuals. I’ve just ordered a Niro EV on my salary sacrifice scheme also a bargain.
@thejfg7741 in a salary sacrifice they'll also be getting fully comp insurance, tyres, servicing, breakdown cover. So whilst you never gain the asset, it can make some sense financially without having to spend additional cash on ancillaries.
Now at just over one year of ownership. May well sell it soon, issues I find irratating, low speed steering judder, crap turning circle and apalling range. Two weks ago when there was a bit of snow around a 113 mile trip at motorway adaptive cruising at national speed limit, light traffic resulted in arriving with 17 miles left after a 90% charge. IN ECO MODE. Otherwise a nice drive.
It sounds like the kind of car a teenager might buy on the grounds that his/her parents would think it looks safe and drives mad. I doubt that many would though as looking safe isn't a selling point and if it was sold to said teenager it would be a write off in a few weeks.
12:58 👏🤣
Is it pointless,no,3 points for going 45 in 30 zone.
Those tyres look thinner than cling film. What use if you are shaken to bits over normal roads, while also worrying about curbing those expensive wheels. As a look-back, interesting to compare to the VW GTi. The GTi was widely usable in many weather conditions and still cool as a family car. For the rich, the Golf R reportedly did the same. (I have never driven one.) Thanks for the video, informative as is so often the case.
wheels and tyres are fine, curbing has been more of an issue with my old avensis hauler.
Would that power be helpful for towing a caravan and the family
It’d rip the caravan in two!
@@ElectricVehicleMan lmfao
So when are you going to test an MG4 Xpower? Because thats alot more reasonably priced at £29,000 and gets the same kind of silly acceleration for half the price.
The kia EV6 hand over 😂
Love the fact it is a stealth car. Bonkers though and makes it not really a daily…mostly because of ride etc..
I’d love a sort of ID3 GTI…I suppose that’s the Cupra Born but that needs more performance than it has got to be a true GOlf GTI replacement.
Personally I like the Smart #1 Brabus, as it looks more of a sheep whilst still being a wolf.
Yep its fast
Lime green callipers show intent of being a wally .
... or an addiction to Kawasaki green?
Hello guys
The only electric super car I know is the Tesla Model that looked like an early XJ6!! That does 0-62 in 4.0 seconds!! Another family car that has the attributes of a super car!!
I don't really see the point of 500hp plus monsters on UK roads. So the only reason for owning on is for track days. If you have the money to go and burn through a set of tyres every weekend at the track then fair enough other than that totally pointless. Standard EV6 has more than enough power for 99.99% of the population. This car is very niche and there are better options in that sector.
Best GT review out there! This car was build/setup with the 325 bhp awd version in mind. Also when we get rid of the whole drive mode bs, this thing is slower than any Tesla if you forgot to put It in sport or gt mode. (and who needs 4 modes anyway)
MG4 an MG4 x-power
I have a EV6 GT and live in Florida and GT mode gets used a lot. ECO mode feels like a slug. Pity you have such crappy weather and a lack of driving skill. Such a car is wasted on you.
Considering you don’t have bad weather and dead straight, wide roads, that’s hardly a boast.
Literally the reason Tesla autopilot works over there. Anyone can drive it.
the ev marketet seems dead

Electric Viking is an admitted Tesla fanboy and investor so I’d question his reports.
am i the only one who absolutely hates massive wheels. it seems so arbitrary that they are now considered good looking. much prefer the look of a nice thick tyre. they're illogical too. bad ride, noisy, less efficient.
I think GT lines are nonsense. I prefer regular vs. real GT. M line, S line, also stupid. Like glueing an AMG sticker on a regular Mercedes.
No range go home if you can get there.
Ooh! Swastika wheels! errrrr, no thanks!! This isn't VW.
They keep repeating what they say in the first two minutes. Boring, like EV cars.
Why watch a video you know you won’t like? 🤦♂️
@@ElectricVehicleMan `Ehhh??? I didn't know I wouldn't like it before I started watching, however once I began watching I didn't like it because you kept repeating yourselves about how powerful this vehicle was, too much power and you thought it wasn't needed. Over and over. It became boring like EV cars themselves. ICE vehicles are far more enjoyable to drive. EVs have no soul.
@@alexmorgan3435 You watched a review about an EV when you clearly believe they’re all boring. 🤷♂️ So with that belief why bother watching reviews of them! 🤦♂️
I’m guessing you’ve never driven one either.
@@alexmorgan3435 Your comment has no soul.
I test drove an EV6 this summer, last thing it needed to be was any faster 🤦
