It’s time to find out which small electric SUV is better - the Kia EV6, or the Toyota bZ4X?!
Well in this review, Mat’s going to put these two EVs through their paces, testing everything from their exterior & interior design through to their real-world range and just what they’re like to drive!
When it comes to performance, the Kia is easily the more powerful car. The bZ4X’s single and dual motor editions can produce 204hp and 217hp respectively. In comparison, the single motor EV6 puts down 218hp, while the dual motor produces 325hp!
The Kia also has a slightly bigger battery pack, 73kWh compared to the Toyota’s 71kWh. As a result, the Kia also has a slightly larger claimed range - 325 miles compared to the Toyota's 317 miles. It's also worth noting the larger range comes with the single motor editions on both cars!
So, which would you choose? Would you go for the more powerful EV6? Would you choose the slightly cheaper bZ4X? There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat for this all-new EV group test!

The new type r😈
Ev6
Can't believe how far Kia and Hyundai have come in just 10 years. Used to be budget boxes, now they're competing with VW's and Tesla's!
Still they are.
@@unknown_personW Geez man, chill. Much anger in your comments.
@@FFXIVArtist Something broke? I'm actually curious.
Ford and Vauxhall have gone backwards.
@@pyoshmusic I am very calm and i can make whatever comment i want. Thats my way of commenting.
Honestly, there is no comparison between the EV6 and the Toyota. The former is leagues ahead in virtually every respect- performance, range, styling, handling, interior quality, infotainment system, tech features, charging speed, desirability etc.
Also there is a major reliability issue with the BZ4X as every unit that has been sold is being recalled due to the dangers of its wheels falling off. This is simply ludicrous incompetence from the Japanese.
Toyota and the other Japanese automakers seem to be totally out of their depth in the EV race while the Koreans are going from strength to strength.
You are right on the spot 👍
definitely, ev6 goes as far as challenging tesla y. BZ4X is nowhere near in competition
I prefer KIA, looks more futuristic instead of awkwardly rugged
Kia and Hyundai makes the most coolest, futuristic and electric looking electric SUVs in the world! The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and this Kia EV6 proves that!
This is quite cringe
agree
@@chrisogrady28 quite cringe but overrated btw.
@@user-mq6gp8xi1q me too agreed.
Never thought I'd see a day where a Kia is preferred to a Toyota
Kia is like Toyota and Nissan combined.
Lmaoo kias now looking like bmws
Kia's design is getting really pretty. I like it!
@@ogakemmy5634 that's because they had the most prodigious BMW designer to create Hyundai's N brand (GT line for Kia).
J G - Hyundai/ Kia's Chief designer isn't from BMW, it's SangYup Lee who also designed the Vision N 74.
Toyota is effectively a generation behind Kia/Hyundai when it comes to EV, and it shows here.
Toyota is also miles behind even Sinseong Motors and Nissan.
after all, this BZ4X is actually a project from BYD (chinese brand) but it is borne by toyota that's why there are a lot of leaked photos from China, because toyota still doesn't really want to go into EV, they still focus on hybrid and leave diesel
@@purwantiallan5089 well i just looked up and Sinseong is only a parts supplier?
About two generations behind 🤣
Toyota claims better battery life than in Kia.
I was seriously expecting something extraordinary from a 'Toyota' As they made us wait for such a Long time. And now they're losing with a Kia ; a brand people used to hate even just 10/12 years ago. It shows how far the competition has gone.
Kia doesnt like competitions you know?
Well depending what market your looking at.
It's a sign of how Japan has become complacent and Korea is taking its place. A natural cycle.
This might be the dumbest comment of the decade
@@Gatsun yup
EV6 actually has a 77.4 kWh battery. Agree with the verdict; the Kia is the better car. Great video!
EV6 has 79Kw batteries.
@@purwantiallan5089 77.4 useable
In the UK the capacities are different. 77.4 kWh is in the US market
@@chrisak49 that's the Ioniq 5 your thinking of.
@@chrisak49 yes that's true with ioniq 5 but with ev6 it's 77.4kWh in all markets, even here in the UK
I agree with you 100 percent, the Kia is a really beautiful car and it looks like someone put some serious thought into its design.
I don't like the steering wheel with the instrument panel the most on Toyota, it's really disgusting.
The car appears underrated.
How is it disgusting?
Disgusting???? That's a bit strong
The rear is just so fucking ugly. I hate the rear of the kia
Designer also made k5.
For me, the Kia has killer styling, better driving dynamics (I like it a bit more sporty), better range, better tech, better performance, WAY FASTER CHARGING and a better warranty. But to be honest, I'd almost take the Kia on looks alone...that plastic cladding on the Toyota is entire unacceptable on a range topper.. Kia EV6 vs Hyundai Ionic 5 is a tough call for me though..
There's no comparison, the EV6 is clearly superior in every aspect except for the 2nd row slightly better space. Though in Toyota's defense the EV6 is better than pretty much any other EV out there on their price range (note, the Model Y is not in this price range)
after all, this BZ4X is actually a project from BYD (chinese brand) but it is borne by toyota that's why there are a lot of leaked photos from China, because toyota still doesn't really want to go into EV, they still focus on hybrid and leave diesel
I would go further to say the Bz4x is probably ranked right at the bottom in its category. Litterally any other EV including the blob ID.4 wipes the floor with it.
The BZ4X is clearly the better vehicle off-road though. With that ground clearance and Subaru AWD. And half meter water drive-through.
@@Drygore the thing is it doesn't actually have that much ground clearance. It's only 3cm more than a MG ZS! People are going to be taking it to the supermarket not off-roading 🤣
@@aaaa-ig6sc 3 centimeters difference is not small. I live in Sweden, and in the winters the BZ4X will definitely be the safer and better car to drive here. And i do go semi-off-road quite a lot when going fishing etc, and 21cm ground clearance do make a difference. Don’t wanna scrape the bottom of the car.
And the AWD on the BZ4X is most likely better.
With all that said… I’m still considering getting a XC40 Recharge Twin motor… Mostly ‘cause it’s probably the best car I’ve ever driven (and because I can’t even test drive the BZ4X because of the damn recall over the risk of the tires falling off…..).
Eventhough I'm a Toyota driver/fan it's gonna be the KIA. No glovebox is a no go! I also don't like the dials on top partially blocked by the screen.
Tim, the EV6 appears to be underrated basically.
You missed the bZ4X’s Achilles heel, it’s very slow charging time. It takes over 45 minutes to get to 80% charge on a DC fast charger compared to the Kia, which does it under 20 minutes. I would also like to see a comparison of the driver aids.
The design of the EV6 is just great, if I could afford one it would be the EV for me.
Ioniq 5 is just better, except the handling, wich you don’t need on the public road
@@Cornetto1997 the EV6 still gonna crush the Ioniq 5 in this case.
@@Cornetto1997 It is just a matter of personal taste but the Ioniq 5 is too boxy for me, I like the curves of the EV6 especially the rear end.
i agree looks amazing and performance
The Kia is much better plus I know someone who drives a Kia Sportage 2017 really nice
Cat believe I’m gonna say this, one of the best OEM competing with Tesla gonna be Hyundai/ Kia
Ev6 has a 77,4kWh battery pack, not 73kWh as stated in the video
77kWh? Wow. Thats quite a lot.
Is that usable though? 77.4 might be gross? KIA doesn’t really clarify
@@joeisawesome540 Yes. Kia always communicates net values (as opposed to the stellantis & VAG brands for example)
@@DZDropZtoneZ thats good to know
I got a EV6 lol xD
Maybe we should all take a minute, to acknowledge how far, how much progress Kia has made! Not too long ago, most of us would never think a Kia, ANY Kia, could ever go up against a Toyota, let alone beat one!!! 😃
I think now most companies are spanking the Japanese in the EV space. Not only kia, but a young 20 year old silicon Valley startup seems to be thrashing Toyota in the EV space as well.
I used to drive only Audis and Mercedes for performance but after test driving EV6 GT I felt like Kia is now right up there with the best, especially in EVs. Kia EV6 GT drives like a spacecraft.
Range is atrocious though, that's what prompted me to go with a Tesla M3P instead of the EV6.
Come on a Kia vs an Audi e-Tron or Mercedes EQ really?
If you still love ICE cars you might go with toyota,but no doubt here the future are electric and Hyundai/Kia beat japanese manufactures in this one
I think Toyota mastered the ICE in terms of reliability so it'd be hard for them to let that go...
The bZ4X looks ok, but i really dislike the big solid plastic ironing board instead of a 'grill". Cool headlights, and the colour is real nice on it. Nice enough interior but also a tad average.
The EV6 (together with the ionic5 )is just so much cooler looking both outside and inside.
It is interesting to hear your opinion. I just read the comment saying he/she likes a black plastic trim on the bZ4X because it protects you from scraping your door in a parking lot.
But I agree on your opinion! Bit concerned on the design of a new ioniq6 but EV6 and ioniq5 is good enough for me. More of a big fan of new N vision 74 check it out :)
@@pyoshmusic bz4X is overrated in my opinion.
@@purwantiallan5089 How can it be overrated when nobody likes it?
Hate the way Toyota add big ugly arch trims to their car, especially square trims.
@@purwantiallan5089 Yeah I think so too. If they didn't just slap the plastic panels so it doesn't look bulky(and minor issue of hard naming) I think is is a good car.
There is literally no reason to buy Toyota over an EV6.
Toyota's brand loyalty and reliability reputation are its only benefactors. Other than that, though, I would say that Koreans have their boot on Japan's neck right now. Even the Acura and Lexus products aren't competing with Kia Stingers. They don't even need to call big brother Genesis for help. Only thing that Korea lacks right now is a supercar for the wow factor. Acura is about to discontinue the NSX again and Toyota hasn't made a supercar since the LFA but at least they have that under their belts to remember and appreciate. I do wonder if there will ever be a Korean Ferrari competitor.
Kia warranty is not great though, even though they say 7 years they do all they can to get out of warranty repairs
@@purpleotter10 Toyota has slightly better warranties than TommyKaira.
@@devongee1776 yes.
@@devongee1776 Reliability in ICE cars, yes but not EV. They don’t have enough track record behind them with EV to prove their reliability
To put this in some perspective - That Kia is less than 2/10ths of a second off the 0-60 time of the Sport Classic 911 Mat tested a couple videos ago.
EVs are so damn quick
Are you a genius?
And the EV6 GT claims 3.5...
Your point on EVs is true, although to be fair he didn't even launch that Porsche, he just set off quite normally. That Porsche can do much much better.
2/10th? you mean 1/5th, or even better 0.2
Kia and Hyundai both doing great job 👏🏻
Kia is owned by Hyundai
The Kia EV6 one of the best electric SUV you can buy!
It’s not as much of an SUV than a crossover. That becomes very apparent when you jump in the back seat.
I think EV6/ioniq 5 is the best non-Tesla option in their segments!
I'm voting for the one whose wheels don't fall off.
I was really looking forward to this comparison!
Of course Toyota is lobbying to slow down the inevitable move to EVs in the USA...but it's kinda crazy that the Japanese automakers are so far behind Hyundai/Kia/Genesis. Overall, a win for the consumer.
Yeah, considering Toyota used to invest in Tesla they made all the right moves...until they didn't. Look at where Tesla is now compared to 10 years ago. The new car buyers have spoken, EVs have a place in the car world!
KIE ev6 is good enough mechancially to have me not getting another BMW after driving it for 12 years. The mechanical memory of how a car's frame behave under load and speed is very physical. so to get a equal or better replacement from a different manufacture is quite difficult. I am glad this option is available and I am getting inches closer to have it soon.
Definitively kia ev6 lovely design and stunning technology...
Does anyone know if its fake or not?
@@stepanbest9736 it's fake you dont gotta be a rocket engineer to know it
The Kia ev6 is beautiful,I'd choose it hands down, only problem is it's expensive,well out my price range, so have just ordered the ford puma st in mean green, maybe a few years time I go electric when the charging network is much better an ev prices are more affordable 👌👍🏴
Toyota has lobbied more than any other manufacturer to resist the switch to electric. They deserve to be consigned to the dustbin of history.
Also the wheels don't fall off of the Kia and that's always a plus.
Wow, such an original comment.
EV6 is definitely better. Love mine 😎
I think you forgot the baby seat in kia’s back seat that’s why it didn’t fold the seat
I'm considering both vehicles tested as my first battery EV, so YOUR experience is quite crucial to me. You've actually driven both vehicles (plus many others!), so you've got a broader perspective than I do.
No surprise you picked the EV6. It's the only new car I would even consider at the moment. A few more physical buttons/controls would make it even better.
After owning one since July, I’ve never had an issue with the controls. I only use the steering wheel buttons for all media and I leave the climate controls on auto and only adjust the temperature with the physical knob. 100% satisfied with the car so far
Matt, i dont care who says what but how KIA has improved on their production is insane
Yah they are learning from American how we make them!! Fast and look good. All the while you have a major oil loss problem!!! 🤑🤪😜
3:15 That GT Line should have auto flush. If you unlock the car it should reveal the handle. Maybe it's deactivated through the infotainment system. But I promise you that was NEVER an issue with mine.
A comparison that I've been waiting for.
I have a Kia EV6, and it is just amazing.
U have one man? Wow. U seem to love those KIA cars huh?
@@purwantiallan5089 Apparently almost as much as you like asking questions. Huh? Huh? Huh?
Me too. Words can not describe how much I love this car. Hands down it's the best car I've ever driven, and, yes, that includes Teslas.
I think the Kia is Amazing
I've seen the Kia now in real life, it was bigger than I expected. That said, I like its design better than the Toyota (and the Iconic 5, I think that design will age very quickly). I think we'll probably get an EV6 for shart range/town driving, but we'll either get a hybrid for long range or even still a full petrol ICE.
I wish you well in overcoming the sharts.
‘An EV6 for short journeys’....what!?....With the 800v system you have one of the fastest charging EVs on the planet. It’s range from 100% allows you to set off on a 400 mile trip...say London Edinburgh knowing you have more range than you can drive in one sitting..sensible people would do 2 stops on a 7 to 8 hour drive like that...and in the Kia a couple of 15 minute stops at an Ionity charger will add another 120 miles...Why on earth would you need another car, especially a dirty ICE car!?
That's some smooth dubbing from Mat on the ranges of the cars :))
Yup. The Kia loves smooth operator.
I hesitated between the EV6 and Ioniq5 and the latter got my money and I absolutely love it!
Get the Toyota… it has reliability
@@ebonix33 And wheels that fall off. GTFO.
Why in the end did you land on the Ioniq 5 over the EV6? I’m looking at both, also. Is there anything you dislike about the Ioniq 5 so far?
EV6, hands down. I actually like that they put the stereo and climate controls on the same panel. One option I wish they gave was to have one of them be persistent, so you can choose climate controls change the temp, whatever, then if you don't use them for lets say 60 seconds, it will default back to stereo controls without you having to switch it. Then you can choose which one will stay so you can choose climate to default back to and the ability to change how long till it switches back to your default of choice.
You can do exactly that. I think if you hold down the button that switches functions, it will default to that function. So if you default to HVAC, when you switch to audio, it will automatically switch back after a few seconds without any inputs.
Though I don't know if you can select how much time before it switches back to default.
@@amperformance7998 oh excellent good to know!
The setting you wish the EV6 would have for climate and audio is there already you just have to set it up for which one you would prioritize it to default too.
Matt, to use the Kia doorhandles; push your thumb in first then your fingers around around... Dont use your pointy
Great comparison!👍
Seriously considering these two at the moment need to go look at this kia, very nice!
The KIA is a winner. Kia have come on leap and bounds globally in the last 5 to 8 years. Quality, practicality and reliability 👌👏smart buys for families!
I think we need to focus on the motor power as well. Kia uses a stronger motor, but it goes a similar distance.
I'm not sure I've seen another comparison video with this much of a smackdown. It's no contest.
Can't wait to see the review on the EV9 Vs 6
Or EV6 vs F430.
Surely it's the EV6 since it's more likely to have all 4 wheels at the end of a journey?
Yep. It has 4wd.
Ouch! LOL
@@purwantiallan5089 He was joking about the Toyota/Subaru EV recall related to the wheels potentially (and literally) falling off. That didn't affect any cars actually in the hands of customers.
I agree with nephew Mat. If I were to buy an electric C-segment crossover, I’d go for the EV6.
Me too go for EV6. Far better also than NA Supra car.
@@purwantiallan5089 The Supra and EV6 are different segments.
I'm a owner of EV6. This is a really flawless car for me!
VERY CLEAR IN FIRST FEW MINUTES.
WOW.
If you buy a bZ4X make sure the wheels stay on!
I am not really an SUV guy, but if I had to chose one of those, I would pick EV6 ... platform ... Hyundai Ioniq 5.
But since I am not a fan of SUV, I will wait for something close to Prius PHV idea of a car. I kinda feel like SUV EVs of today are utterly inefficient 17-25 kWh/100 km ... not impressed.
Consider Ioniq 6
@@NinoPanino I would consider your response as an attempt to make a joke.
Sure the front part look pretty amazing, the body shape is most likely really aerodynamic, but the rear seats are the last place you would like to sit - seating position is abysmal, floor is high, bench is in angle and due to slopping roof, the ceiling is fairly low as well.
Probably the last thing I would like to experience in an SUV is to bang my head on the ceiling and my ass hurt after an hour of siting there.
The efficiency numbers you give are pretty ridiculous... 25kwh/100km?? You might get that in an inefficient etron while driving like a looney but driving normally in something like an EV6 will get you a much better number. I have an e-niro and have averaged 13.6kwh/100km over its lifetime with mostly highway use.
@@stijnhsEV6 is anywhere close to efficiency of Nero.
And if you read my comment it was generalized, not primarily targeting EV6.
Can you please put the kmph and km standards for speed and distance on screen in future videos? Thanks!
Hey Mat, can you compare how the sat navs are updated? On air, dealership, paid downloads, or free manual downloads?
Toyota is embaressing themselves. Kia and Hyundai have stolen their thunder for a couple years now. Toyota has a niche gem from time to time (like the Yaris GR), but even there they are not alone (The i20N is a good looking and capable micro-hothatch).
after all, this BZ4X is actually a project from BYD (chinese brand) but it is borne by toyota that's why there are a lot of leaked photos from China, because toyota still doesn't really want to go into EV, they still focus on hybrid and leave diesel
The i20N is clapped m8. That’s why no one even buys the normal i20 anymore
In Sweden we get the 11 kw charger with the Toyota. Still , it’s bad that Toyota didn’t make a better product that is more comparable with the Kia. I still chose it over the competition for the clearance in country roads, my family also found it more spacious, specially in the rear row, it’s also more comfortable for the elderly who can sit higher in the Toyota compared to the Kia.
You not waiting for Polestar 3? I've set my sights on that
after all, this BZ4X is actually a project from BYD (chinese brand) but it is borne by toyota that's why there are a lot of leaked photos from China, because toyota still doesn't really want to go into EV, they still focus on hybrid and leave diesel
I think Polestar 3 will be a great car, but it will come at a premium.
In Denmark we get the 11 KW as well.
Toyota's battery life is much longer ( 90% in 10y) than Kia's (80% in less years)
Toyota 4x4 is one of the best if not the best in any E-vehicle
Very informative.
Not my favourite topic of overweight, transient vehicles, but excellent presentation.
Thanks.
i got the bz limited just for the fact of how much its not made as an ev...its way behind in ev stats but way ahead as a real solid suv thats extremely comfortable to drive,nice torque and very smooth, is great in rough weather , has a lot of space and hopefully will last longer and not depreciate like korean cars do
At least, kia ev's wheel doesn't come out of the body while driving. 😂 All kia/hyundai issues were about engine/transmission of 5-15 years old gdi but EV doesn't use them at all. So there is no reason to underevalute them than Toyota in the EV world.
@@andycho5546 enjoy your kia
@@rambotulip I don't have kia. Merc.

Excellent video Mat, I personally prefer the Kia, but they’re both good choices!😸
@carwow Doesn't the KIA have a 77,4 kW/h battery? You claimed 73 @1:53 .
I see Matt you are working out.
3:55 , i see those triceps and biceps.
I agree with the reasons for the Kia! personally tho, I only like the front of it. the Toyota, I love the exterior design and color. 🤷🏼♀️😎
Every good thing comes to an end, I think its time to say goodbye to japanese automakers and welcome new contenders.... I would choose the ev6 easily in blue or silver...
Both Kia and bZ4X appear overrated...
@@purwantiallan5089 well not much compared to teslas...
Honestly i think Kia is the one of the best car right now
Thanks for video. I have a question-what about quality? is kias quality high as toyotas?
little theory, kia flush door handles (including all flush door handles) do not close fully in case you let go or you need to open it again so it is a plus depending on how you view it
nice to see a bz4x with the wheels still on ! 🤣🤣🤣
If would have been helpful to know about the "recall" on the BZ4X?.... Is that resolved now??
yep... the BZ4X is in limbo now like the Chevy Bolt was last year ... None being made and all those sold are recalled because the wheels can fall off. It's mind-boggling that toyota could even make a car that bad... Not sure the point of this video in light of the fact that BZ4X is not a "real thing" right now...
@@neergewleinad Wow never heard of wheels falling off before...that's insane, especially from the king of dependability.
Great review vid as always, but 1 criticism.... The child seat thing. You did that on the current shape Yaris, which we had as a hire car. Agreed, the seat fits ok, but getting your kid in the seat was awkward due to lack of room which was made worse as the seats had to be moved forward for the kids to have leg room. That made it uncomfortable for the front occupants.
Wouldn't say the Yaris was a good small hatch to use for someone with kids, bit a Suzuki Swift nails it and is cheaper.
Definitely the Kia, but it's a trick question. The Fisker Ocean is a fair bit better than both at the same price bracket. The only unknown is how good support will be by Fisker in the UK.
Hey Carwow,
I really like your Videos. What could be even better, is when you include the range additionally in km and the power consumption in kwh/100 km.
That would be perfect, and much easier to follow.
Thanks alot :)
Go watch a different channel if you want European units.
@@Sto79Be Thanks for your suggestion, but I have to decline. I really like mat and his videos.
Imo its not too much to ask to include some more information via text. So what is your point?
@@Sto79Be "Some" channels include other units in subtitles. I know it's not hard to do the conversion yourself, but it's nice to have and IMHO good feedback.
Surprised based on the size and height that the EV6 has the bigger trunk space.
These Koreans aren't playing games yo. The EV6 went on sale 2 years before this Toyota did and they're still better at damn near everything lol. I could be biased. I do own one. But this wasn't out to cross shop when I got my EV6 and really none of the EVs that've come out since are making me jealous lol. They don't look as cool and they don't charge as fast, for the money.
You're not biased, the EV6 is awsome and no, I don't owe 1
I have one too, and there's nothing out there currently, or that I know of in the future, that makes me regret my purchase. Except maybe the upcoming EV6 GT. :)
@@michaelgoetz7506 the GT is tempting. I think I'm good where I'm at considering the GT loses some features and doesn't get a range boost. But all that power certainly is hard to turn down STILL... it would be nice to not lose at the light to any car on the road really, except another EV.
@@devongee1776 Yup, the GT gives up a lot of creature comforts -- comforts that I really, really like. If the GT was available back in February, and I had the extra $$$, I probably would have still bought the GT-Line (that's the top spec in the US, other than the not-available-yet GT). Make that definitely: my car was expensive enough. I wouldn't have spent more. But I'd still be jealous of the extra power.
In Denmark, the bz4x comes with 11 kw charger
Toyota has advantages price wise and height wise. In terms of range there isn’t much between the two. I prefer Toyota’s front compared to Kia. I think apart from plastic cladding there isn’t much wrong with the car. It would come down to individual preference what they are looking for.
I feel like Toyota and Honda has been slacking compared to Hyundai and Kia. Even their luxury brand like Lexus and Acura is slacking.
I have a new 2022 Hyundai Elantra and one of my friend has the new 2022 Lexus UX200 and oh boi. The amount of techs and interior design in just a low to mid end Hyundai is way more and so much better than in a mid end luxury car.
This is freaking AMD and Intels all over again lol
EV6. Looks better inside and out.
Please, do give us some visuals when you're giving out comparison numbers. Thanks.
Your timeing gear, where to buy? Please share :)
I’ll have the car where the wheels stay on. That’ll be the
Kia then.
I would not buy a car which has a real chance the wheels fall of while driving at any speed. So no Toyota for me, also their attitude and announcements concerning EV's over the years make me doubt how much effort they put into their EV's (ironic considering the wheels fall off their first EV and they had to recall it).
Looking forward to your review on the hot version of the EV6..
Maybe December 2022 u got it.
@@purwantiallan5089
I placed my order last September for the EV6 GT but sadly had to pull out due to financial changes..
yes
Hyundai/Kia is the new king in the EV era
Ev6, perfect crossover family car. Gt is 580hp super car.
Hey Mat. Any chance of a follow up on the Kia repair/replace program for the seat latch release?
Likely got fixed by the press office
The EV6 is a magnificent piece of engineering and design. Kia would sell shit loads of'em if only they could be delivered!
Isn't it. They really made a winner, like you said, they need to ramp up production because they are selling!
The EV6 is a victim of it's own success at the moment. I read somewhere that Kia had sold their entire EV6 production for *three years* in some markets. That ought to keep used values strong for quite some time...
Kia is smashing it out of the park at the moment across all model ranges 2022+
on the drag races could you make the intros shorter as we have to wait a good while before the race actually starts. that would be cool.
I must admit I'm a little bit confused (wasn't that a line from a Pink Floyd song?). I noticed on the Kia that there's a 12v Battery in the front boot. I get that it's there to power the auxiliary components that are not connected to the main battery, but I still don't understand the reasoning behind this or how the mechanics of it work exactly. Several EV reviews note that the 12v system powers heating/AC, radio/entertainment/navigation, power seats, mirrors, door locks, etc. , but at the same time they state that using the heating/AC, et. al. reduces the range that the vehicle can go. Is it the case that so much of the power gets pulled out of the main battery to keep the 12v system at an optimal level that it affects the range? Could you do a video dedicated to explaining this? Thanks.
There is literally no reason to go with the BZ4X
Ground clearance is about 2 inches higher on the BZ4x, it's much more of an actual crossover where the EV6 is much more a standard hatchback (6.1" of clearance there).

Hi Mat
When doing your car reviews could you show if the cars have a spare tyre, a full size a space saver or nothing. That would determine a difference in boot space.
EV's don't have a spare tyre in them for weight saving purposes. They usually get tyre repair kit instead.
The EV6 does not have a spare tire. I'm not aware of any EVs that do, although the Chevy Bolt does have room for a spare in the back.
@@michaelgoetz7506 Kia eniro also has room for spare tyre
Always agree 👍, no one can fight against M. Watson (the C. Norris of the motorworld life) 😂
It's another insane video!
