- In this 2022 Kia EV6 Review, I'll tell you why you will love owning this Kia electric car! I'll give you a tour of the Kia EV6 exterior, interior, and more. Of course, we'll talk about the differences between the EV6 vs Ioniq 5. The EV6 goes for a more futuristic and sporty look while the Hyundai Ioniq 5 goes more retro. However, there are other differences between both.
I'll also give you details on the upcoming Kia EV6 GT, the high-performance version of the EV6 Kia. The model I tested here is the 2022 Kia EV6 GT Line AWD which gets 274 miles on a full charge and does 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds. The EV6 GT is expected to do it in less than 3.5 seconds. This Kia EV has quickly become one of the most popular additions to the EV world. By the way, if you're wondering - is the 2022 Kia EV6 an SUV? Yes, it is classified as SUV and it is very spacious. How much is the 2022 Kia EV6? Prices start at $40,900 for the base standard range model. But if you want the Kia EV6 range to top 300 miles - you'll have to go for the long-range RWD model. If you've been asking yourself - should I buy a Kia EV 6? Well, let's find out! Of course, we'll also take a look at the Kia EV6 vs Tesla Model Y battle. Not to mention, in this video, we'll also charge a Model Y with the EV6.

Until the prices come down, I'm not falling in love with any EV!
What would the price need to be for you to pull that trigger? Also, would it matter if it's new or used?
There needs to be a 25k ev that competes with camry
@@naturalLin if you consider gas prices, add on like 15-30k for gas over a 20 year lifespan for a car.
@@smallpeople172 problem is ppl don’t cash upfront pay
@@naturalLin huh? Thats irrelevant. Im talking about total price regardless is lower for EV's
I test drove this car a few weeks ago and love it. The charging was definitely a plus and it gets good range.
About to buy my first EV and I fell in love instantly with the EV6 - your video has helped answer MANY questions I had, thank you Omar!
No problem! Thanks for watching 🙌
Thanks for the review Omar 👍🏻
We have the GT trim and can't get enough of it. The sounds the car can make sound great in person. You can change how loud or quiet they are and even use the custom setting which gives you many options. Or just turn it off, either way I think it has every driver's preference in mind. I have mine set to stylish on the quietest setting and it is subdued. Thanks for the great video.
Appreciate that 🙌
I’m looking forward to hearing it myself
I really enjoy your videos. You should have more subs... absolutely nailed this review.
Thanks man! Appreciate that a lot. Eventually - just being patient in the growth
Really good review. No nonsense, well summarized and to the point. I liked it.
Great job Omar as always my brotha!!!
I've owned a GT-Line AWD for just over two months now. It is by far the best car I've ever owned.
PS: Turn off the cheesy fake engine sounds and enjoy the serene silence of driving an EV.
Lol those EV sounds are so funny. I def turned them off
How did you turn it off? I just got one ev6
@@subhadipghosh84 go into settings. vehicle setup. Then from there active noise. Turn off
@@joemichele5412 I really dislike fake propulsion sounds. The beauty of an EV is how quiet and effortless the progress is. The natural, faint sound of the propulsion is good enough for me.
can you do it for the outside only? Imagine driving fast in the neighborhood with no sound.
This is great competition in EV category. Will be interesting to see how EV space shapes up in next 5 years. Great review.
Great review! Definitely thinking about purchasing this car.
Appreciate that! 🙌 Thanks for watching
nice report.. facts and pace and presentation superb
Appreciate that 🙌
Dude I can already here the people running over to watch your videos! That said - I'm going Ioniq 5!
Love the review. Thanks man 👍
Thanks bro! Appreciate you watching
Wow, ur review is my 1st look at this car and Im blown away!
there is So much tech and value in that car, it looks really sharp from the outside and decent from the inside Except for that damn steering wheel.. Good Lord ,that looks like it belongs on a Yugo from days past.... The fact that this has over 300hp and over 400ftlbs torque should really impress people..it sure does me as im driving my 28yr old 164hp old probe gt ...This car here would just blow my mind in terms of power and tech if i could afford it...and these are just the beginnings of an EV industry switching into high gear.. image whats coming down the line!
Thanks for watching 🙌 ya that steering wheel isn't my favorite
I almost bought an Ev6 GT but it was the 300(around that) version and I really wanted the 576hp version....so I ended up just getting the Kia Sorento hybrid s AWD.....sadly after just 3 payments it's been in the shop since may 25th. It just quit running. I wish I had gotten the Ev6....it's beautiful
as a huge Tesla fanatic, the fact that the Kia can charge the tesla is soo cool!! Im jealous!!! Tesla needs to do this
Yup yup. It's awesome and I'm so happy you're a Tesla fan that can appreciate other vehicles 🙌
I have a 2018 model 3 LR RWD. If I were in the market for an EV, I’ll definitely be getting the Ioniq 5. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis have the recipe to convince the masses they have a desirable product and I agree.
I did some calculations, I drive a ford fusion sport, twin turbo v6. I get roughly 23mpgs in it all highway miles. I drive 20-25 mins for work, generally I fill up once a week sometimes twice depending on what's going on for the weekend. With gas prices soaring around 5$ a gallon it cost me 77$ to fill up on an almost empty tank, over the last 3 months my gas average has been 316 a month, I would technically save 100$ a month from where I am paying now with my loan and gas and calculating charging cost. So while everyone thinks the price tag and loan payment look unaffordable, I assure you there is a good chance you'll be saving money. Unless you're bill free of course or have a way cheaper payment than 410$ a month
Hi Omar remember it's me param last time I said something about we both are brown anyways u nailed it although I m not ev guy but bcoz I like ur presentation enthusiasm and energy I watched the entire video good work brother
Thanks man
This is a great looking car,love it but just bought a 2022 Hyundai tucson n line limited.
Wow… I saw tons of reviews about this EV…but NONE showed what I noticed @ 9:04 here….. when you unlocked the doors, there’s a small led light that shines on the rear roof spoiler!! That’s pretty cool!
Yes! At night time it really highlights the rear of it 👍
That's gonna be cool but even convenient when you try to get into a car in dark.
Nice overall review.
Awesome car. Drove it, liked it.
Great vid. Could you pls include kms for non US ppl.
I’ve been in love for months
I honestly love the sounds.
You're right my parents bought this and I freaking love it we have it in the same color but we have the upgraded rwd wind spec
Nice! Ya def one of my favorite cars of this year
Two most important part for EV : battery & software !
Plus how easy to charge !
Beautiful review. I found there was so much info i watched it twice 😸. I know it probably means i have ADHD.
Appreciate that a lot 🙌 thanks for watching and rewatching 😂
I’m in Virgina, how long would it take to get the KIa
You found the ac panel cool, you get it! Many didn't.
Lol I think I'm the only reviewer out there that appreciates it
All of these features require power. Is that power pulled from the battery that provides range? Do i loose range when I turn on the air conditioner?
Yea I have one and the dual function heat/radio doesn't bother me after a bit of adjustment to it. The car is good, and the Wind AWD with Tech Package had all my must haves for a reasonable price for what it is. I mean $54K is horribly expensive for a car but in comparison to other ev's it is well priced.
You should put captions with the km. and lt. measurements.
Very impressed with this Kia model wow
Does the Tesla provide a plug to use appliances like Kia EV6?
desighn wise hyundai nd kia always best😍🔥
M gone book this beauty....
I'll fall in love with it when I get my order in 2 years.....
Half decent review omar. This beats the Daylights out of the Tesla Model 3 --You don't have to go through a touch screen to do everything . The sound options are way better than total silence. Can't believe you forgot to comment on the elimination of blind spots with the turn signal, and you should have commented on the cool ambient lighting and shown a night picture.
So all the driving assist, self parking stuff and blind spot monitoring only come on the GT line?
no not true I have all that stuff in my Wind AWD
11:00 the KIA EV6 remote smart parking assist is not just "go forward/backward". It can literaly park your car by manouvering it (it turns the stearing wheel, change the gear, accelerate and break) in autonomous mode as if there were a human driver. There are many videos on youtube who show that feature.
That is correct it definitely can park it self automatically.
I'm not super impressed by the autonomous parking in mine. I've only used it to pull in and out of my garage where there's plenty of room for the EV6. It's cluttered aside from the width of the EV6 + maybe 2-3' on each side. I can easily pull the car in myself but remote driving hasn't worked nearly as well. It's particularly bad at navigating around low items, like a box off-to the side on the ground. The only time I tried to pull into my garage with it, I had to pull out and manually park it.
I don't see a lot of use in it other than pulling out of a parking space if someone else has come along and parked too close to you. You wouldn't want to pull into a spot with it that you couldn't just drive into.
The EV6 does, supposedly, parallel park itself. I can't say I've gotten it to work yet though.
You're supposed to push a button near the F-R 'shifter' dial and when you drive by a spot large enough for you, the car will alert you. .. then, something something.. then it'll park for you.
I've tried it once, but it seems to want you to crawl down a street and it seems awkward if there's other traffic around. I parallel park quite well so it's a bit of a gimmick to me.. seems to require more effort than just parking myself.
But yes, it will steer in remote driving mode to maneuver around obsticals. There's no gear shifting though.
@@ffakr My comment just pretended to make clear that the automous parking feature exist, another thing is how that feature really works.
I still haven't test the car (my EV6 will be delivered on september), however after watching several reviews, I agree with your comment... Yeah, it can park by itself! However the manouvering is slow and buggy in many scenarios. That will make the users to just park by themselves the most part of time.
Maybe future updates of the EV6 firmware will improve this features as well as others.
Mercedes has been parking itself both parallel and backing in for 10 years….they have had automated cruise and lane follow for that amount of time as well. It’s not a big deal.
@@crackheadbiden3273 my EV6’s lane guidance is excellent. I let it drive me home /w cruise control in stop-and-go traffic 8-10 times a week.
And that’s in an EV that’s about 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of a Mercedes EV.
I think the democratization of tech is often as or more impressive than the origination.
What’s more impressive.. early computers that were the size of a room and yet just big calculators, or a modern tablet that’s got the performance of a super computer had just 15-20 years ago?
Saw a white one on the highway the other day. They do look good
There both great looking evs. Im going to give the edge to the kia ev6
Ya it def looks sleeker
Put an order for Kia ev6, the GT line dual motor matte look and charging port for home for fastest charger - price Aud $100k+ wait time 9-12 months
Also, each dealership in nsw can only sell 2-4 cars per year
How is it that you got the EV6's headlights to do the white light wave pattern? 1:50 mark and any other where the car is just idle and being filmed on the outside.
That's just how they show up on Camera - LED lights do a weird dance because of the frame rate on cameras
Oh wow I've seem them flicker, but never like that where it looks deliberate. It's almost like a Easter egg if that's the case. They must have set the frequency to do that. I seen thr ionic 5 as well where it looks like the DRL do the breathing like on a RGB video card
sir what is the dry weight of this vehicle????
Does this one suddenly burst into flames and the brakes stop working while traveling at highway speeds like other Kia's?
Kia and Hyundai are making the best valuable electric cars at this point.
This is a clearly understated truth. Amazing how the press keeps them at the same level as others who are struggling
What about 10 year reliability
I agree. I wonder how the insurance is on these vehicles though compared to other EV's
Disagree! Tesla is by far a much superior ev!
Can’t find one anywhere in the DFW market.
OMG.... does this same version will come in India???
I think the EV6 looks way better inside & out than the Ioniq 5
Yes but will it catch fire while driving like other Kia cars?
I own a Te**a Model 3 and have recently driven both an IO5 and an EV6. I definitely prefer the EV6 finding it comfortable and quiet. However, I disagree with you about rear seat legroom. Whilst the legs fit the feet do not. Because the front seats go almost to the floor you can't stretch out. My wife was glad to get out after only 20 minutes and she is only 5' 4". Sadly that is a deal breaker for us as we do like to go on longish journeys with four people. We told the dealer who said the feedback would be noted so maybe in the next refresh. Otherwise a good car for two people.
I was interested when the original reports of it ha ING 577hp and looked much better without those crappy rims, then when I looked at pricing I was about to order one until I found out the original marketed numbers were only about half of what they estimated.
I like the look of the EV6 by a long shot.
Yup Yup
Nice review - however at 4:52 you mentioned that the charge for the Model Y to 100% takes 8h10m. The Tesla is set on a charge limit of 90%, theoretically making the charge to 100% much longer, given how much less power the battery draws towards max capacity.
The charging speed doesn't slow on AC.
Most reviewers fail to mention that the charge is usually limited to reduce battery degradation.
how much is the red kia ?
Nice
Since 1 month I am a owner of a Kia EV 6 red, GT-line RWD
Hola Omar!
Excellent review, Kia is impressive and their quality control is tops. I can't get past the big screen and layout of the Tesla but admit they lead the EV segment at present.
Appreciate that 🙌 thanks for watching
Tesla
Quality control and KIA this is something that can’t be used in one sentence at all)))))
Kia did extremely well by packaging a Jaguar I-pace at 60% of it's cost, from wheelbase to the front, rear, they copied all of it, JLR had everything yet they won't be selling I-pace like how Kia will sell the EV6, Tata's need work it out.
Can you review the Indian car TATA Nexon EV it can also reach 120kms in 4.6s and range is 300km in a controlled environment, and the price is around 15 lakh?
test drove this and fell in love till I heard the price since they seem to be going for 60k where I live
Has anybody ever done a comparison of cost per mile of electric versus ice?
The cars do not charge @ 350kw as you listed @4:02
5:38.
How about adjust sound on the wheel instead?
👀
Very true 👍
one of my friends is buying one but no luck without huge markup.
Great car Kia!! But you have to make more than a tiny trickle of them. Make more of these cars. You will sell as many as you can make!!
Kia came out with this quicker than BMW iX / i4 and is LEAGUES better in every facet.
Testing the iX this week - it's actually pretty impressive so far!
Are these gonna catch fire like their regulars from 2011 to 2019...just watch a recall videos on those.
The EV6 is hands down light years better looking than the Ioniq 5 !!! The Ioniq 5 looks too boxy and boring in my opinion
Ikr..
We don’t agree. The Ioniq 5 looks like a transformer. A hard guy not a smoothie
Both looks great in different ways. The ionic 5 wakes my love of synthwave / outrun retrofuture music. Even though I've ordered an EV6
The back of this car is hideous.
They both look great to me. The Ioniq 5 is airier and roomier.
This is much better than a Tesla in my opinion. we have had one for several months now and no complaints what so ever!!
Nice! Congratulations 🙌
I like the retro trim on any vechicle
GT-Line S AWD on order, Jut got to wait till at least January 2023 :-/
Wish it came in all white seats like the Te$la
test drove one of these in the UK and before hand was ready to order one. but being 6' 1" I couldn't fit in it. the distance from the lowest seat position to the ceiling is way too small. and even smaller if you have the sunroof option as the head liner protrudes even further into your head space. EV6 is only to be driven by people under 6 foot!
I am 6' 5 inches with 36 inch inseam and I have no problem and am totally comfortable for long distances.
I just sat in one,The EV6 may drive nice and charge fast but it was very small inside, felt cramped , and had huge blind spots because of the slopped roofline and small rear window and back side windows. I like the visibility and size of the ID4 and Tesla model Y much better.
you don't need to look out the side mirrors just look at the main screen when you turn the turn signal on in full color
Tesla M3 and MY have bad rear visibility as well.
Guys, he's a Tesla stan. Look at the avatar picture.
There are no blind spots in fact this is a huge advantage over the model 3 and model y. As soon as you put the turn signal on it shows a picture. Plus it gives a great 360 view of the vehicle that no Tesla does. I like this better than my model 3
This will be expensive. I love the style
Q: Can you charge it at home? Or do you need to go to a charging station everytime you need some power?
I am sorry if is an obvious question. I do not know much about electric cars, but I'm considering to start with the EV6
You can charge it home.
You can definitely charge at home. A majority of EV owners charge at home. Charging stations are mainly used when your out and about or if you're going on a long drive
How do you define “best EV”?
I have cash on hand ready to buy. But if you can find them in Northern California you have to pay $7k -12$k dealer markup. Great car. But I’ll wait for recession to hit and get it for MSRP.
Good plan. I don’t think the recession is too far away.
I don't get it, does the 2022 Kia EV6 GT Line do 0-60 in 4.6 or 3.5?
depends if it the 585 hp or the 320 hp gt
I've been driving a Telsa Model S for 5 years now, and just got an EV6 for my wife. While it's a great car, the 10-year-old Tesla infotainment system is still far more functional, advanced, and intuitive.
After I read around 10 comments and many of them seems to own one of this ev6 but none of them mention it has apple/android CarPlay but not Tesla.
Reminds me of the SEAT Altea TBH.
Kia silently out performing the other legacy auto makers. The confidence they exude way beyond all others. They are not promising deliveries of vehicles we only see on CZcams videos like Ford etc. They say it and it’s available for you to grab yours. Really impressive
Kia and Hyundai both, IMO. They are making parallel products but I don't see a version of the upcoming Ioniq 6 sedan.
I prefer polestar 2 . EV6 is pretty impressive too
The tech on the car is great and it looks awesome but a warning if you have bad back,stay away. After a couple hours of driving I was crawling out of the car. I have a back history so this won’t apply to everyone. Just go in knowing that if you’ve got back issues this may exacerbate them. I’ve driven Prius (‘s?) for the last 20 years and never once had a problem. The Kia killed me so much that I had to turn around and sell it at a loss.
I live in a hot climate and I can't find anywhere that tells me how the touchscreen stands up to high temperatures when it's locked up for long periods
put on windshield cover and you won't have a problem
I'd love to see the expression on the face of the new EV owner when they leave their apartment to go plug it in.
If you have sixty grand to plop down on an EV, you should probably concentrate on getting out of an apartment and into at least your own condo first, and If you do, make sure it has a garage with 240 volt power inside.
@@thomasklein4265 lmao you underestimate the lack of priorities in people. I see plenty of people with tesla still living in apartment complexes.
Thought about getting this, but now I am waiting on the Ford Lightning since its cheaper.
And American (non) quality.
11:05 No, it's not just a forward/reverse parking feature. It's a self parking feature. Must be tough trying to put down every other EVs besides Tesla.
Yup it does all that. Lol not tough at all I'm not putting every EV down. If you watch my EV reviews people think I'm a Tesla hater
Which one looks better? Is neither an option? 🤔
Would you buy the Kia EV6 over the competition like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Tesla Model Y? Let me know!
I would take an EV6 over the Model Y and Ioniq 5. I’m not a huge fan of Tesla, but I kinda like the Ioniq 5, too.
No. I'd rather have a Polestar 2 dual motor as is a better driving car, and it has quite a bit more performance too. EV6 feels more like a heavy SUV to drive in comparison.
Just picked up one @ 32K (half of Tesla model Y) Light RWD 230 range!
bought one instead of .. because:
Ioniq5 -> EV6 is sexier, even though I thought the Ioniq5 looked better in person than in photos. Ioniq5 felt more utilitarian.. more like a grocery-getter.. and the Wife liked EV6 more too so it won out.
ID.4 -> This was our first choice, but we waited for the Ioinq5 & EV6 before committing. Liked the ID.4 overall. Proper roof rails would have been a big plus.. but the Tech was better in the EV6 & Ioniq5. Liked the dash better.. lots of complaints about VW UX, and I wanted the 800V platform.
Also.. no heat-pump option in the US ID.4s (I heard Canadian models have them) and I live in an area where that's going to be important. AWD Ioniq5s and EV6s have a heat pump.
Tesla -> EV6 is laid out more like a traditional car, which I prefer. I don't want a car that looks like an Ikea demo space with the demo tv hung sideways. Also.. Tesla build quality concerns (look at the panel gaps on them).. no Tax credit on them anymore.. and,.. I think Elon is a wanker.
Can't say I seriously considered a Tesla (we never even bothered to test-drive one), but I did check Model Y availability and the colors we'd prefer were showing no availability around us (March 2022) with a delivery time of something like 5-8 weeks for a new build.
And sure, the dual motor Teslas are a bit faster than the AWD EV6, but the EV6 is already too fast in Sport mode for every-day driving (seriously.. it's just too torquey unless you're looking to hot-rod around). I would have appreciated the slightly longer range, but the EV6 provides enough for us.
Mustang Mach-e -> Also didn't bother to test drive. I felt the range was sub-par in all but the highest-end models and that was pushing up the price higher than we wanted to go.. and it's a bit too much car-like, and we wanted something with a more useable hatch-space.
Audi e-Tron -> I wrote them off early on based on price, but with the premium we had to pay to secure the EV6 right after they became available.. it probably was do-able for us. Saw one on the road the other day though and thought the rear end looked kind of.. meh. Overall, I think it's a good looking vehicle, but I think Kia's got the better-looking design.. JMHO.
Overall.. I bought one because it's got great tech and specs for the price, it drives great, and It's a fantastic looking car inside and out. And, It's got a particularly sexy badonka-donk.
Oh yea, liked the idea of having the Vehicle-to-Load capability in the EV6 too, but I can't say it's something I expect to use often. Still, nice to have. We did suffer a multi-day power outage a number years back, and it'd be nice to know I could run the furnace and/or refrig in an emergency (already converted my furnace power to a plug so I could run it off a UPS.. though just enough power for piece of mind when I'm on vacation and the cats are at home).
waiting for Genesis GV60, or Porsche to come up with a Macan, 718 EV
Tata avinya babyyyy
118mph top speed? Man that's slow... that's the top speed of my old Honda from the 90's
I mean no one is going 118 all the time
@@omardrives well I live out here in west Texas so half the time yeah people are going that fast and will just go around you since you can see who's coming from miles, I average 110 in my wrx and yeah sometimes people still come up my @ss
