@@Markcain268 Here is hoping the battery tech keeps on marching and falling in cost, £25k is the cost of the pack on that and that they say could drop to £5k in time.
I have to say, having seen a lot of the other EV6 videos that were clearly held back by the embargo, you really do put the extra effort in mr smith. Always a cut above the rest so well done and I hope the manufacturers recognise that.
That was very good Jonny, another great video. I thought this video would help make my mind up but i’m still undecided as to which one i’d choose.🤔 Really liked the little Pride though, that i would have 👍
Great vid as ever. I prefer the Ioniq5 too, it looks like a concept car on the road. I just want Hyundai to make a Golf sized EV with that style and 250 mile range. That will be the killer 👍
hyundai is developing Veloster N electric. ua-cam.com/video/QtrXv6MwTZk/v-deo.html from 20:40 is driving scene. The black veloster N is electric and it's still testing car with 800 horse power. And it's base is racing car characteristic. The reason why they build the Veloster N EV testing car this way is because they are figuring how much of racing car characters to apply on production model. The video was taken in Hyundai's Namyang research & development facility.
I absolutely love the EV6, I was blown away by the Ioniq5 when I saw it and I'm sure I'd have to see and drive both before making a decision, but as much as the 5 is striking and modern but also with some retro touches, I feel like the EV6 is a much better and more cohesive design. It somehow appears more traditional in it's car styling but at the same time looks forward and steps the EV game on... Can't wait to drive one and finally make the switch to electric at some point and that is something I never thought I would say!!
Great video. Haven't Kia come a long way? I was one of the people who bought into the Kia 'white goods' and did 120k in my 1993 Pride LX. It wasn't the best car I've ever owned but it was incredibly reliable, and great practical transport. I owned three in total, and they were quicker than they looked! Still on the look out for a tidy old one, but not many left now.
I just had an EV6 as a rental car while on a trip in LA. It was the highlight of my trip and I'm sure like most completely changed my mind on whether I'd ever consider buying a Kia. Blown away but the quality, comfort and let's not forget the metric f@#k tonne of torque!!
the kia ev6 is a game changer in electric vehicles. looks amazing theres one in our village (castle donington) and always gets huge looks when parked in the village. kia has made a name for itself and now people are finally taking kia seriously. great review well done mate
There are some serious points of styling on that car. FairPlay to Kia for being bolder and more daring in their designs than their Euro cousins. For me, that front end would be great on a car (not crossover)
Really hope they make "EV4" that looks similar, just shorter/narrower. This looks really nice, but is overkill for my needs. Something between Niro and Kona would be perfect. Hopefully with price closer to 30k EUR or even less(unlike this - it start just below 50k).
Have to correct you there, 40K although some version go over 50K. And yes, I am looking forward to the EV4 and EV5 for the same reason. eNiro owners will be a bit pissed but that's progress and the cost of being an early adopter.
@@clansome It´s probably location dependent but as of writing this post it´s 46600 for base model without any accesories. As soon as you add larger battery you are well over 50k EUR.
I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the divorcee in a blue Jazz, with a dog in the back needing a bump start. You really should start filming your weird interactions with people in the world Jonny!
The EV6 and the Ioniq 5 are the only two EVs I'm considering right now. Neither one has arrived at showrooms yet, but I think the Ioniq 5 is due soon. If the EV rebates kick in as expected, I may go for the Ioniq 5 over our other top choice right now, the Toyota Venza hybrid (Harrier in other markets).
I miss my Kia Pride LX Georgia. Well done on tracking one of those down. I genuinely wish I had hung onto mine as a weekend car. Drove it all over the country after graduating and it never let me down once. Made my day seeing one again, thank you.
I learned to drive in a Kia Pride. The pedals were too small for my feet and the seat didn't go back far enough. I hated it. But looking at it now and the visibility, ease of controls for heating and small exterior size make me want an EV version.
Love that EV6, it resembles the Toyota C-HR i think. The lines are very similar imo. I remember the Kia Pride back in the day. They were the Srar Prize of choice on many a TV game show. But to be fair to Kia, they gave it a peppy 1.3 engine, and they were better built than the Metro of the same era, but looked a little narrower. I also remember the white wall tires. All in all, a good little package for the price. I think they could be had for £4995, brand new if memory serves. And the equivalent Metro being about 2 grand more, and even more for a Fiesta. So yeah, a good value little runabout.
My grandad had an LX with whitewalls! it looked totally pimp with those bad boys on. For some reason I turned down the LX when he stopped driving (I might have been rocking my sister in laws old Yugo 45 at the time) so my sister had it as her first car after passing her test.
I like how you make your Show's, not boring, no fuzz, good in-depth. And that you take time to tell, and geek many of the fetures. Thers tooo meny Ketchup guys out there, that just copy the others!
Thanks for making this review; tracks with what I have seen elsewhere. Not sure if this is part of the overall Hyundai/Kia strategy, but the Ioniq line strikes me as the more youthful/early adopter option, with the Kia covering that part of the market wanting a smoother (slower?) transition in styling & tech. Would love to have a larger drink, but not a dealbreaker. Excited to see what else they bring next!
Thanks for the boot review. Essential for those of us with families. I am leaning towards the Ioniq5 for space, but it will need to come in across the pond at a considerably less expensive price than the Tesla Y. Or we will remodel the house, and I will drive a 2017 LEAF for years to come!
Great vid Jonny as usual. Really appreciate the quality of content on your channel. Please keep them coming! Seriously impressed with the EV6, incredible to see how far Kia have progressed since the Pride 👍
Genius idea to bring the Pride along to provide context to the film, cracking looking car from Kia. I hope I get to see the pride on Saturday on the tour!
Really enjoyed watching that and the blast from the past. Talking of early 90s cars, the front of the EV6 kind of reminds me of the Venturi Atlantique which is no bad thing at all.
Love it... But I'm hoping the fully finished production model will come with some safety goggles... the rear lights 14:25 with the boot open will need a dynamic risk assessment on every shopping trip!
The Pride was actually a Mazda 121 built under licence. They were good cars for their time and it was only badge snobbery that lessened them in any way.
Thank you Johnny, i definitely share your views towards this car. But for me it's this one that has the top spot. IF it's available for leasing come springtime, this will hopefully be my next ride.
Great vid. I’m keen on EV6 despite the small trunk. My 2016 Kia Soul EV has been flawless for 45k miles. Whic will hold 2 Aussie shepherds better, ev6 or ioniq 5. “ I feel Ike I’m on my way to a rave” orange hoodie and rode mic chest weave protruding…. Made me laugh..
We bought a pair of model 3s in 2019 and at the time they were pretty much the only choice on a number of levels. My wife’s lease expires late 2022 and I’m really pleased there are so many choices available. Predictably she’ll probably want the model Y but she rarely supercharges, rarely uses the full automation and would be nuts not to consider options like this. Looks like a great bit of kit and will probably have a good warranty too
Yes, when the lease expires on your wife, I'm sure you'll be happy exchanging her for either the Hyundai MIoniq or the Kia Evie Sixx... those Korean ladies are lovely.
I can never un-see the E.T seats 😂 great review and it’s a tough choice between the Ionic 5. Both unique looking… probably a coin flip if I was making the choice.
This car is going to kick butt here in Australia. Ignore anyone banging on about infrastructure and sale price. In cities, which is most of Australia, you charge it at home overnight. Also, people need to remember electricity is cheaper than petrol and maintenance costs are far lower than mechanical engines. I would love to see a total cost of ownership comparison with a similar power petrol car. Also we need these cars for the good of the planet. Great job Kia
Here in Aus, the Kia and its Ioniq brother are really the only practical EV options but with only 500 Ioniqs available in 2022 (EV6s unknown numbers atm) for the whole freakin country getting hold of one is going to be hard! Many thanks for the content Jonny!
When I was a teenager, my father was already in love with the large sedan of the Pony era. Forgot it’s name, but if I remember correctly it had Mitsubishi technology under the hood. So I grew up with a favorable view on what Hyundai had to offer. And it only got better over time. Korean was and is synonymous for me for Asian (read Japanese) thoroughness and inventiveness, becoming an exponent of that technological renaissance of the last decades and they (Korea) went there Lightning speed, convincingly and with a proven track record. Love their international maker space!
I think there is a massive pent-up demand for these, I think that's why the relatively mundane VW ID.3 is selling so well. About Golf size but with the practicality of an EV. When Kia and Hyundai offers a true competitor in size to the ID.3 with V2L and 250-mile range, they will storm off with the market lead. I like the ID.3 but I think the exterior design, interiors and software on these look better (haven't driven either and in the flesh might prefer the VW option).
@@outsidecontextproblem1739 haven’t driven the Hyundai or Kia but I do have an ID3 - I think it’s a fantastic car 204hp, 50/50 weight distribution, RWD it’s fun, fast and the software is fine since the 2.1 update (now on 2.3) it will do 240 miles in the summer and 200 in winter from the mid size pack. The Tour will do 300 miles in the summer. It’s much bigger inside than the Golf too! I wanted an Ioniq 5 or an Enyaq but the Mrs said they were too big. But overall, very happy with my ID3.
@@West4ea I agree. I am wanti g an EV in estate form for the practicality and versatility, there is no room in these crossover bits to fit large dogs, a wheelbarrow or cement mixer in.... so useless.
The interior looks very 80s to me too, but it doesn't matter if we can appriciate what a gift Johnny is to the viewers. I put my both thumbs up for everything this guy does. Whenever there's a new EV out, I can't wait for his reviews. There's never enough of his competency and charm. Who wouldn't love learning and smiling at the same time.
Great Review, anyone will be convinced after watching Jonny to buy this EV.. please upload your videos in 4K video resolution as well, these are top class Reviews, love from India!
Who the hell needs Top Gear when you've got TLBS. Seriously top level stuff, I love it. The humour, the camera work and editing, the really deep facts. Get this on the tellybox!
Great shout but you know that as soon as TLBS goes to TV it will become ‘written’ and ‘produced’ by ‘others’. Keep it indie I say and watch UA-cam on the telly 👍
The "0-62 in around 5 seconds is enough"-comment - just a few years ago I believe a lot of people would've risen their eyebrows at you, like "are you joking? That's like btcc territory" :-)
It's the Tesla delusion. Who really needs a car that fast? There's no situation where you're going to need faster that 6.5s in the real world, and you're only gonna get yourself a summons if you use it. There's a place for fast cars; although that place (that they're important to push the industry forward) is diminishing very quickly - but for most people there's no value in it, and you're just dumping energy when you do use it.
I'm only 24, I love manual cars like an old person, never driven an automatic. But thanks to your reviews, I've been warming up to EVs. You've shown through all these reviews that normal and practical EVs do exist and they are quite good. My country is a long way away from electric cars. Weak infrastructure, the costs of batteries make them too expensive etc. But when the time comes and EVs become cheaper, I'd happily switch from a manual car to an electric one. The Asian brands are doing a great job with design as well as features.
Awesome review once again Jonny. First impressions are I think I prefer the EV6 over the Ioniq 5 but obviously without driving or using either...and if Jonny Smith says Ioniq5 then I'd need a 48hr test drive at least to go with one or the other. Pretty sure a couple of the top Hyundai designers worked in the UK before they went to those new pastures. I spend all of my working days with VAG Product and it's great to see and to compare...via your channel...what other manufacturers are doing with EV's. Please keep on doing what you're doing with the channel...I love it...all of it, even my Wife, who just doesn't do cars at any level watches you!! Oh...yeah I see you mentioned the two-spoke steering wheel as something you like, my Anglia at 55 years old has a factory fitted one as well, and also, 48hp and 1200cc. 25 years later the Kia Pride had 60hp from a 1200...I think you said, but another 30 years on we now have cars like the EV6 and the Ioniq5. It's amazing that via virtually limitless investment and the potential profits from that, what can actually be achieved in the modern world.
Great looker! Even like the sound under acceleration. Wondering why they have stuck with trad mirrors rather than cameras as per Honda e? I have an aftermarket reversing cam on my Luton van - doesn’t always work...
Really standard mirrors are much better for safety of cyclists and other users of roads. There its no much advantage on air resistance and cameras are not good for space awareness.
I'm liking muchly. The RWD will do me just fine. Range over a bit more 0-60 any day. That acceleration thrill is what motorbikes are for. This EV6 ticks all my boxes. I love the Jagesque styling and can't wait to see a cat walk around those rear lights. I had a buzz around the configurator and have booked a test as soon as they're here in Belgiumland. Just shy of €60k for a well set up RWD. go for the AWD and it's in there with Polestar, Skoda, VW, Audi, Muskcar, etc. 60 is still the magic number for all the larger family sized cars and there's a lot to choose from now.
Have to disagree, very uninspiring. There's simply no comparison to the sound of a petrol engine. I like this car a lot though. Think I'll wait for the GT.
As always, simply a splendid and honest review, you have made my evening. The EV6 is a nice family vehicle, that I'm hoping will sell really well, and remove another Dino juice-powered vehicle off the road, and one step closer to a cleaner and healthier environment. Keep up the great work mate.
Great review as ever with some proper lol moments. Particularly enjoyed the ET seat profile comparison! I know it's not something you're particularly fond of- but I wonder whether, in future, you could tell us more about the self-driving capabilities of these vehicles? It's something I'm always keen to know as I do a lot of motorway driving, and lane assist, adaptive cruise control etc make a big difference to me.
"Plug over" Jonny says whilst reviewing an electric car, don't think I didn't spot that fella! 😄 Oh and as for your question, I'd go for the Ioniq 5 purely because my current lease is ending soon and it may be available to me. If both were available, I think I'd be changing my mind every hour or so!
Having seen it and sat in both this & the Ioniq5 at the FullyCharged show, I think I prefer this, both from the internal and external styling point of view, and they are of course really the same car underneath. My one criticism is the price. Near enough £50k for the features I would like is a steep hill to climb, and I would be charging with Solar PV, so my fuel bill will be less than £100 a year. The fronk by the way is where you store the charger cables and emergency stuff, so that it isn't buried underneath the contents of your boot, the 4-wheel driver 20l fronk is therefore far too small.
Interesting review format of an interesting car. Thanks for being as creative as Kia! Suddenly, VW and a lot of legacy EV makers could be feeling a draft. The only problem is the likely re-run of the delayed logistics in getting these desirable Kia EV6 models to our plague island quickly and in sufficient numbers. Remember the long waits for Kia ENiro EVs? And now we have insufficient chips and Brexshit to contend with.
Agreed. These are not going to be readily available anytime soon unfortunately :/ The eNiro will do nicely until then. Can’t wait for the 150kW+ charging speed and V2L!
Thanks for review, you making good videos but would like to give you suggestion, when you pointing out something on dash or on boot of the car at that time one camera must be behind you showing us what you talking about ? in this video almost 4 to 5 times I realised that you are showing us something and talking about some feature which we cannot see it but only you can see you. Once you adopt this method your videos would be liked and appreciated more. once again thanks for your lovely review. Cheers
This is a far superior car to that over-priced hunk of junk BMX iX3 you tested recently. Loving the 'Notebook of Truth'. Your reviews are some of the best on UA-cam. The Late Brake Show is one of my favourite channels.
I love that EV6 and well presented by yourself! I would be tempted very much by that over an older iPace at similar money... and that feels weird that thats a real decision... ooo maybe the Kia over the Jag!! Well done Kia! Although... for your Kia Pride I think your sponsor does do a 12 inch white wall tyre... unless perhaps the one i googled was for a bicycle?!
Great review, great car in the metal, much better than in pictures. I'm a petrol head but I test drove the Ioniq5 of a friend of mine and WOW! I'm so impressed by those 2 siblings that my next car is gonna be one of them.
I had to stop watching when you got to the price. People have taken leave of their senses. A 54k EV car will depreciate to around 30-35 of its original value in 4 years. taking that figure you arrive at a payment (2.8%APR - which is super low) of around £830 p/m this is madness. Lets assume you get paid 10K above the average at £36k per year you will take home around £28k or £2,300 - and you want to spend circa 35% of your salary on a car! Its time to understand that its just not real.
There's a few reasons. Inflation means you can't compare a 2021 price to a 2011 one. Then there is the relentless regulation creep that is mandating more airbags, more cameras, more reinforcements, more driver "assist" shit like lane keeping. Every car you see come out has 25cm thick doors and tiny glass surfaces. That's not the constuctors fault. What is te constructors fault is the desire of brands to want to leave their niche and move up, where the margins are higher and lastly, government incentives. You get 5000 subsidy? Ok The car is now 4500 more expensive than it needs to be.
@@SNORKYMEDIA Because this is a marketing stunt. Notice how they do the re-branding of the logo, all communication to the consumer changes and so on. This brands website had more page views under EV6 than all other combined years. But to keep the cool factor, they need to be exclusive and therefore, they are not made to sell many, that is why they have that price point. Tesla has more anouncend vehicles then actual models on the road. Facts dont matter, but customer perception does...Five years ago, any youtuber would scream to get to try a new car; now they send unique prototyes. Nevertheless, its a great car and a brilliant presentation.
To be fair these things will be like gold dust for the first year or two, people and dealers will not get them in the numbers they would wish. You probably could own that split new and loose very little after a year to eighteen months. In 2018 I know a guy who lost £600 over 18 months of ownership on his EV. The dealer warded it back when he was moving abroad as they had sold out. He actually could have been cheeky and sold it privately and made money but didn’t want the hassle. But yes the battery pack prices need to keep falling, that Car for £26-30k amazing but pushing it at £40k plus. They say the pack cost £20-25k and they think they can get it down to £5k within five years with economy of scale and new design and chemistry who knows even solid state but they have been touting that for a decade and we don’t have it.
I don't like this kind of "review" with a pre-production car and very limited time behind the wheel. It seems like it's set up so you miss a bunch of stuff, and whatever you miss can be discarded with "it's a prototype, the final car will be better". And it doesn't matter if it's actually better, everyone will have forgotten by that time anyway. I understand why you do the reviews - it's part of the game - but I don't like it.
I agree. They should wait until the production car is finalised, quite often the press car reviews are a disappointment and rarely do justice to the finished product.
Saw both the Ionic 5 and EV6 at Fully Charged Live this weekend and I have to say the EV6 styling of both the exterior and interior stood out and appealed to me much more. However both are out of my price range ;-(. Also not sure why there is an obsession with dark pillar trims and headliners these days, it just makes the interior darker.
The same goes with the seats, always dark & dismal in the UK. I went to the EV6 event at my local dealer last week. When asked "what do you think about the interior"+? "I replied "a dark hole". "Why can't you spec the light colour seats in the UK?". Couldn't give me an answer. The light colour seats would greatly enhance the overall ambience of the interior IMHO.
@@robthomas7232 I've had many cars with light coloured seats (leather), I didnt have any issues with keeping them looking good looking or cleaning them tbh. Eact to their own, but a choice would be appreciated. I have an EV6 on order, a gt line s with a sunroof which I'm hoping will make a difference, otherwise I will be cancelling it.

I absolutely love the EV6, I was blown away by the Ioniq5 when I saw it and I'm sure I'd have to see and drive both before making a decision, but as much as the 5 is striking and modern but also with some retro touches, I feel like the EV6 is a much better and more cohesive design. It somehow appears more traditional in it's car styling but at the same time looks forward and steps the EV game on... Can't wait to drive one and finally make the switch to electric at some point and that is something I never thought I would say!!
Great video. Haven't Kia come a long way? I was one of the people who bought into the Kia 'white goods' and did 120k in my 1993 Pride LX. It wasn't the best car I've ever owned but it was incredibly reliable, and great practical transport. I owned three in total, and they were quicker than they looked! Still on the look out for a tidy old one, but not many left now.
I currently have three little Kia Prides. Basic, but a lot of fun to drive, and never fail to put a smile on my face.
Try finding an EV6 in 30 years. Somehow I think, if E10 doesn't kill them, you'll be more likely to find a drive-able Pride.

@@lucasbarton1773 I am indeed:)
@@judec9485 what a coincidence! I didn’t know you had 3 Kia prides? That’s awesome!
I just love the way how you always manage to put some relevant history into your reviews. Keep it up!
I just had an EV6 as a rental car while on a trip in LA. It was the highlight of my trip and I'm sure like most completely changed my mind on whether I'd ever consider buying a Kia. Blown away but the quality, comfort and let's not forget the metric f@#k tonne of torque!!
Great review as always, for me it's the EV6, just because I prefer the look of the outside and inside
the kia ev6 is a game changer in electric vehicles. looks amazing theres one in our village (castle donington) and always gets huge looks when parked in the village. kia has made a name for itself and now people are finally taking kia seriously. great review well done mate
There are some serious points of styling on that car. FairPlay to Kia for being bolder and more daring in their designs than their Euro cousins. For me, that front end would be great on a car (not crossover)
I would like Ioniq 5 with EV 6 interior, also Im waiting for the EV4 that might have best of both worlds( And my wallet)
my exact same thoughts!
Really hope they make "EV4" that looks similar, just shorter/narrower. This looks really nice, but is overkill for my needs. Something between Niro and Kona would be perfect. Hopefully with price closer to 30k EUR or even less(unlike this - it start just below 50k).
Have to correct you there, 40K although some version go over 50K. And yes, I am looking forward to the EV4 and EV5 for the same reason. eNiro owners will be a bit pissed but that's progress and the cost of being an early adopter.
@@clansome It´s probably location dependent but as of writing this post it´s 46600 for base model without any accesories. As soon as you add larger battery you are well over 50k EUR.

I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the divorcee in a blue Jazz, with a dog in the back needing a bump start. You really should start filming your weird interactions with people in the world Jonny!
I thought about her when the vid started 😄
The EV6 and the Ioniq 5 are the only two EVs I'm considering right now. Neither one has arrived at showrooms yet, but I think the Ioniq 5 is due soon. If the EV rebates kick in as expected, I may go for the Ioniq 5 over our other top choice right now, the Toyota Venza hybrid (Harrier in other markets).
I saw an Ioniq 5 in Hyundai Worcester (UK) last week, so I think it's arrived. It is a big car, inside and out.
Brilliant content as ever Jonny. I think you’re right. I’d have the Ioniq 5 purely because it looks like an inflated Lancia Delta Intergralé.
Pride, Prejudice... ooh come on Jonny you missed a gag there mate! Nice review as always :)
But he's reviewing a Kia, not an Austen 🙂
I miss my Kia Pride LX Georgia. Well done on tracking one of those down. I genuinely wish I had hung onto mine as a weekend car. Drove it all over the country after graduating and it never let me down once. Made my day seeing one again, thank you.
A very rare (but nobody cares) car. I enjoyed it a lot.
Why do I feel like I'm watching a friend do these reviews. Really is just compelling watching. Nicely done.
If you like these, you should try the Smith and Sniff "podcast" (it's on UA-cam) -- it's hilarious!
The EV6 to me, is the first Kia that I would consider buying. Thank you for yet another awesome episode. You good sir, are brilliant!
I learned to drive in a Kia Pride. The pedals were too small for my feet and the seat didn't go back far enough. I hated it. But looking at it now and the visibility, ease of controls for heating and small exterior size make me want an EV version.
Yeah the big big windows and massive visibility really struck me as well.
Love that EV6, it resembles the Toyota C-HR i think. The lines are very similar imo.
I remember the Kia Pride back in the day. They were the Srar Prize of choice on many a TV game show. But to be fair to Kia, they gave it a peppy 1.3 engine, and they were better built than the Metro of the same era, but looked a little narrower. I also remember the white wall tires. All in all, a good little package for the price. I think they could be had for £4995, brand new if memory serves. And the equivalent Metro being about 2 grand more, and even more for a Fiesta. So yeah, a good value little runabout.
Some really nice features. Although I was waiting for you to say they had converted the Pride to EV.
Never say never. I have suggested this to Kia as a project...
What a show Jonny! I love that UA-cam gives you the luxury of time to give proper full reviews.
Also, a great car! EV isn't bad either 😉
Great video. The froot is terrible, laughed for way to long when you said "this is where I keep my house keys" 😂
My grandad had an LX with whitewalls! it looked totally pimp with those bad boys on. For some reason I turned down the LX when he stopped driving (I might have been rocking my sister in laws old Yugo 45 at the time) so my sister had it as her first car after passing her test.
I like how you make your Show's, not boring, no fuzz, good in-depth.
And that you take time to tell, and geek many of the fetures.
Thers tooo meny Ketchup guys out there, that just copy the others!
Thanks for making this review; tracks with what I have seen elsewhere. Not sure if this is part of the overall Hyundai/Kia strategy, but the Ioniq line strikes me as the more youthful/early adopter option, with the Kia covering that part of the market wanting a smoother (slower?) transition in styling & tech. Would love to have a larger drink, but not a dealbreaker. Excited to see what else they bring next!
Hyundai/Kia has come a long way in 30 years, the first Kia pride I saw, was on Barbados in 1989, they were everywhere.
Thanks for the boot review. Essential for those of us with families. I am leaning towards the Ioniq5 for space, but it will need to come in across the pond at a considerably less expensive price than the Tesla Y. Or we will remodel the house, and I will drive a 2017 LEAF for years to come!
I found it oddly satisfying to see you reading specs from a paper book while discussing this high-technology vehicle.
I love the presentation style. Relaxed and confident, and not just trying to emulate all the other car journalists. Thanks
Great vid Jonny as usual. Really appreciate the quality of content on your channel. Please keep them coming! Seriously impressed with the EV6, incredible to see how far Kia have progressed since the Pride 👍
Love the new Logo design and brushed finish of it...looks very premium!
Genius idea to bring the Pride along to provide context to the film, cracking looking car from Kia. I hope I get to see the pride on Saturday on the tour!
Really enjoyed watching that and the blast from the past. Talking of early 90s cars, the front of the EV6 kind of reminds me of the Venturi Atlantique which is no bad thing at all.
This was one of your most entertaining / best reviews boss. Loved the comparison of old and new. Please do more... proper 👌🏽👍🏽
Love it... But I'm hoping the fully finished production model will come with some safety goggles... the rear lights 14:25 with the boot open will need a dynamic risk assessment on every shopping trip!
That's probably why they've integrated the light clusters into them... so that they're not too hard when in contact with your soft bits.
This man is a joy to listen to! Thanks for keeping it real.
The Pride was actually a Mazda 121 built under licence.
They were good cars for their time and it was only badge snobbery that lessened them in any way.
they were devoloped by ford mazda kia coop. have same rights. ford version=festiva
Thank you Johnny, i definitely share your views towards this car. But for me it's this one that has the top spot. IF it's available for leasing come springtime, this will hopefully be my next ride.
Great vid. I’m keen on EV6 despite the small trunk. My 2016 Kia Soul EV has been flawless for 45k miles. Whic will hold 2 Aussie shepherds better, ev6 or ioniq 5. “ I feel Ike I’m on my way to a rave” orange hoodie and rode mic chest weave protruding…. Made me laugh..
We bought a pair of model 3s in 2019 and at the time they were pretty much the only choice on a number of levels. My wife’s lease expires late 2022 and I’m really pleased there are so many choices available. Predictably she’ll probably want the model Y but she rarely supercharges, rarely uses the full automation and would be nuts not to consider options like this. Looks like a great bit of kit and will probably have a good warranty too
Yes, when the lease expires on your wife, I'm sure you'll be happy exchanging her for either the Hyundai MIoniq or the Kia Evie Sixx... those Korean ladies are lovely.
I can never un-see the E.T seats 😂 great review and it’s a tough choice between the Ionic 5. Both unique looking… probably a coin flip if I was making the choice.
BEST BEST BEST Start to a video. showing the old and the latest. showing what a company came to be. well done really nicely done
This car is going to kick butt here in Australia. Ignore anyone banging on about infrastructure and sale price. In cities, which is most of Australia, you charge it at home overnight. Also, people need to remember electricity is cheaper than petrol and maintenance costs are far lower than mechanical engines. I would love to see a total cost of ownership comparison with a similar power petrol car. Also we need these cars for the good of the planet. Great job Kia
Here in Aus, the Kia and its Ioniq brother are really the only practical EV options but with only 500 Ioniqs available in 2022 (EV6s unknown numbers atm) for the whole freakin country getting hold of one is going to be hard! Many thanks for the content Jonny!
that old kia is in mint condition holy shit
i would love to see more of that one! what a car
Currently driving a 520d company car. Huge pressure to go electric next. This is first car within my budget that actually excites me
Jonny is my fav car reviewer for articulate, detailed information. He's definitely been selling me on the EVs.
When I was a teenager, my father was already in love with the large sedan of the Pony era. Forgot it’s name, but if I remember correctly it had Mitsubishi technology under the hood. So I grew up with a favorable view on what Hyundai had to offer. And it only got better over time. Korean was and is synonymous for me for Asian (read Japanese) thoroughness and inventiveness, becoming an exponent of that technological renaissance of the last decades and they (Korea) went there Lightning speed, convincingly and with a proven track record. Love their international maker space!
I prefer the look of the EV6 over the Ionic5. I want to see and drive them both, and they on my list to test for my next car.
Filmed in/around Chippenham I see... Brill, wish I spotted you! Keep up the quality videos & hope to see you at one of your events soon!!!
Likewise, Lacock is a nice place to film too, obviously.
Anyone else sick of manufacturers churning out larger/crossover/SUV vehicles? Where are the practical hatchbacks for the masses?
I was wondering the same.
I think there is a massive pent-up demand for these, I think that's why the relatively mundane VW ID.3 is selling so well. About Golf size but with the practicality of an EV. When Kia and Hyundai offers a true competitor in size to the ID.3 with V2L and 250-mile range, they will storm off with the market lead. I like the ID.3 but I think the exterior design, interiors and software on these look better (haven't driven either and in the flesh might prefer the VW option).
@@outsidecontextproblem1739 haven’t driven the Hyundai or Kia but I do have an ID3 - I think it’s a fantastic car 204hp, 50/50 weight distribution, RWD it’s fun, fast and the software is fine since the 2.1 update (now on 2.3) it will do 240 miles in the summer and 200 in winter from the mid size pack. The Tour will do 300 miles in the summer. It’s much bigger inside than the Golf too! I wanted an Ioniq 5 or an Enyaq but the Mrs said they were too big. But overall, very happy with my ID3.
I want an EV estate with a proper square arse yes I know it’s not aero, but thes swoopy back ends have awful boot space
@@West4ea I agree. I am wanti g an EV in estate form for the practicality and versatility, there is no room in these crossover bits to fit large dogs, a wheelbarrow or cement mixer in.... so useless.
The interior looks very 80s to me too, but it doesn't matter if we can appriciate what a gift Johnny is to the viewers. I put my both thumbs up for everything this guy does. Whenever there's a new EV out, I can't wait for his reviews. There's never enough of his competency and charm. Who wouldn't love learning and smiling at the same time.
Best EV review yet…that’s the first one I actually want to own 🙂
Great Review, anyone will be convinced after watching Jonny to buy this EV.. please upload your videos in 4K video resolution as well, these are top class Reviews, love from India!
Cheers Jonny, interesting review, mostly it's an ace design, impressive. :)

Great shout but you know that as soon as TLBS goes to TV it will become ‘written’ and ‘produced’ by ‘others’. Keep it indie I say and watch UA-cam on the telly 👍
@@henrybeazely2908 it’s sad that you’re very right :(
Learned to drive in a k reg pride , drove ok for the time to be fair.
That's the best looking modern car I've seen for years, IMHO.
Entertaining as always Mr. Smith.
The "0-62 in around 5 seconds is enough"-comment - just a few years ago I believe a lot of people would've risen their eyebrows at you, like "are you joking? That's like btcc territory" :-)
Exactly. How the world is changing!
It's the Tesla delusion. Who really needs a car that fast? There's no situation where you're going to need faster that 6.5s in the real world, and you're only gonna get yourself a summons if you use it. There's a place for fast cars; although that place (that they're important to push the industry forward) is diminishing very quickly - but for most people there's no value in it, and you're just dumping energy when you do use it.
OMG! Pride! I remember driving my friend’s Pride back in 90.
I want an Ioniq 5 in Martini colours.
I'm only 24, I love manual cars like an old person, never driven an automatic. But thanks to your reviews, I've been warming up to EVs. You've shown through all these reviews that normal and practical EVs do exist and they are quite good.
My country is a long way away from electric cars. Weak infrastructure, the costs of batteries make them too expensive etc. But when the time comes and EVs become cheaper, I'd happily switch from a manual car to an electric one. The Asian brands are doing a great job with design as well as features.
What a great video and a great looking car! Well done KIA!
Awesome review once again Jonny. First impressions are I think I prefer the EV6 over the Ioniq 5 but obviously without driving or using either...and if Jonny Smith says Ioniq5 then I'd need a 48hr test drive at least to go with one or the other. Pretty sure a couple of the top Hyundai designers worked in the UK before they went to those new pastures.
I spend all of my working days with VAG Product and it's great to see and to compare...via your channel...what other manufacturers are doing with EV's.
Please keep on doing what you're doing with the channel...I love it...all of it, even my Wife, who just doesn't do cars at any level watches you!!
Oh...yeah I see you mentioned the two-spoke steering wheel as something you like, my Anglia at 55 years old has a factory fitted one as well, and also, 48hp and 1200cc. 25 years later the Kia Pride had 60hp from a 1200...I think you said, but another 30 years on we now have cars like the EV6 and the Ioniq5.
It's amazing that via virtually limitless investment and the potential profits from that, what can actually be achieved in the modern world.
Paul, lovely to hear this feedback from you and your wife. Many thanks for following the channel.
Great looker! Even like the sound under acceleration. Wondering why they have stuck with trad mirrors rather than cameras as per Honda e? I have an aftermarket reversing cam on my Luton van - doesn’t always work...
Really standard mirrors are much better for safety of cyclists and other users of roads. There its no much advantage on air resistance and cameras are not good for space awareness.
I'm liking muchly. The RWD will do me just fine. Range over a bit more 0-60 any day. That acceleration thrill is what motorbikes are for. This EV6 ticks all my boxes. I love the Jagesque styling and can't wait to see a cat walk around those rear lights.
I had a buzz around the configurator and have booked a test as soon as they're here in Belgiumland. Just shy of €60k for a well set up RWD. go for the AWD and it's in there with Polestar, Skoda, VW, Audi, Muskcar, etc. 60 is still the magic number for all the larger family sized cars and there's a lot to choose from now.
I loved the sound when you did the 0 to 62 test 👍
I agree, a lot better than the usual Wine!
@@maximXX I agree, but not as sexy as the Taycan "fake" sound.
Have to disagree, very uninspiring. There's simply no comparison to the sound of a petrol engine. I like this car a lot though. Think I'll wait for the GT.
the old kia mde me smile, that's how cars looked when I was young ...
As always, simply a splendid and honest review, you have made my evening. The EV6 is a nice family vehicle, that I'm hoping will sell really well, and remove another Dino juice-powered vehicle off the road, and one step closer to a cleaner and healthier environment. Keep up the great work mate.
Great review as ever with some proper lol moments. Particularly enjoyed the ET seat profile comparison! I know it's not something you're particularly fond of- but I wonder whether, in future, you could tell us more about the self-driving capabilities of these vehicles? It's something I'm always keen to know as I do a lot of motorway driving, and lane assist, adaptive cruise control etc make a big difference to me.
"Plug over" Jonny says whilst reviewing an electric car, don't think I didn't spot that fella! 😄
Oh and as for your question, I'd go for the Ioniq 5 purely because my current lease is ending soon and it may be available to me. If both were available, I think I'd be changing my mind every hour or so!
Having seen it and sat in both this & the Ioniq5 at the FullyCharged show, I think I prefer this, both from the internal and external styling point of view, and they are of course really the same car underneath. My one criticism is the price. Near enough £50k for the features I would like is a steep hill to climb, and I would be charging with Solar PV, so my fuel bill will be less than £100 a year. The fronk by the way is where you store the charger cables and emergency stuff, so that it isn't buried underneath the contents of your boot, the 4-wheel driver 20l fronk is therefore far too small.
Interesting review format of an interesting car. Thanks for being as creative as Kia! Suddenly, VW and a lot of legacy EV makers could be feeling a draft. The only problem is the likely re-run of the delayed logistics in getting these desirable Kia EV6 models to our plague island quickly and in sufficient numbers. Remember the long waits for Kia ENiro EVs? And now we have insufficient chips and Brexshit to contend with.
Agreed. These are not going to be readily available anytime soon unfortunately :/
The eNiro will do nicely until then. Can’t wait for the 150kW+ charging speed and V2L!
Greetings from Kuala Lumpur...... Congrats on getting 300k subscribers.....
Bravo...
Cheers..
they have don a cracking job on the exterior styling , the side profile and rear end look a bit like an aston dbs
Thanks for review, you making good videos but would like to give you suggestion, when you pointing out something on dash or on boot of the car at that time one camera must be behind you showing us what you talking about ? in this video almost 4 to 5 times I realised that you are showing us something and talking about some feature which we cannot see it but only you can see you. Once you adopt this method your videos would be liked and appreciated more. once again thanks for your lovely review. Cheers
It's a shame the Ionic 5 and EV6 are so big. We need a Pride sized EV for €15.000.
The battery size would be a problem
@@oxcart4172 A lighter car needs a smaller battery for the same range as a bigger heavier car.

This is a far superior car to that over-priced hunk of junk BMX iX3 you tested recently. Loving the 'Notebook of Truth'. Your reviews are some of the best on UA-cam. The Late Brake Show is one of my favourite channels.
I love that EV6 and well presented by yourself! I would be tempted very much by that over an older iPace at similar money... and that feels weird that thats a real decision... ooo maybe the Kia over the Jag!! Well done Kia! Although... for your Kia Pride I think your sponsor does do a 12 inch white wall tyre... unless perhaps the one i googled was for a bicycle?!
Great review, great car in the metal, much better than in pictures. I'm a petrol head but I test drove the Ioniq5 of a friend of mine and WOW! I'm so impressed by those 2 siblings that my next car is gonna be one of them.
I'd love to have that old fashioned KIA Pride more than fancy brand new EV...
Great review, best of the 100's of ev6 reviews around.
Hearing you say sport without repeating it as “spwwwaaaart” is confusing and hurtful.
Sorry Jan, I have to focus really hard to say it!
Great review Jonny, we are still awaiting pricing details in Canada, but I fear it's one of those situations where if you have to ask the price...
I had to stop watching when you got to the price. People have taken leave of their senses. A 54k EV car will depreciate to around 30-35 of its original value in 4 years. taking that figure you arrive at a payment (2.8%APR - which is super low) of around £830 p/m this is madness. Lets assume you get paid 10K above the average at £36k per year you will take home around £28k or £2,300 - and you want to spend circa 35% of your salary on a car!
Its time to understand that its just not real.
yet they keep doing it - ALL manufacturers - WHY????
There's a few reasons. Inflation means you can't compare a 2021 price to a 2011 one. Then there is the relentless regulation creep that is mandating more airbags, more cameras, more reinforcements, more driver "assist" shit like lane keeping. Every car you see come out has 25cm thick doors and tiny glass surfaces. That's not the constuctors fault.
What is te constructors fault is the desire of brands to want to leave their niche and move up, where the margins are higher and lastly, government incentives. You get 5000 subsidy? Ok The car is now 4500 more expensive than it needs to be.
Depreciation is no where near that low on EVs. Head over to dealers and Autotrader to see why EV residuals are so strong.
@@SNORKYMEDIA Because this is a marketing stunt. Notice how they do the re-branding of the logo, all communication to the consumer changes and so on. This brands website had more page views under EV6 than all other combined years. But to keep the cool factor, they need to be exclusive and therefore, they are not made to sell many, that is why they have that price point. Tesla has more anouncend vehicles then actual models on the road. Facts dont matter, but customer perception does...Five years ago, any youtuber would scream to get to try a new car; now they send unique prototyes. Nevertheless, its a great car and a brilliant presentation.
To be fair these things will be like gold dust for the first year or two, people and dealers will not get them in the numbers they would wish. You probably could own that split new and loose very little after a year to eighteen months. In 2018 I know a guy who lost £600 over 18 months of ownership on his EV. The dealer warded it back when he was moving abroad as they had sold out. He actually could have been cheeky and sold it privately and made money but didn’t want the hassle.
But yes the battery pack prices need to keep falling, that Car for £26-30k amazing but pushing it at £40k plus. They say the pack cost £20-25k and they think they can get it down to £5k within five years with economy of scale and new design and chemistry who knows even solid state but they have been touting that for a decade and we don’t have it.
Nice review Jonny, I cant wait to test one. I have had the Ioniq5 for a day and fell in love, but I have to benchmark the two.
I don't like this kind of "review" with a pre-production car and very limited time behind the wheel. It seems like it's set up so you miss a bunch of stuff, and whatever you miss can be discarded with "it's a prototype, the final car will be better". And it doesn't matter if it's actually better, everyone will have forgotten by that time anyway.
I understand why you do the reviews - it's part of the game - but I don't like it.
I agree. They should wait until the production car is finalised, quite often the press car reviews are a disappointment and rarely do justice to the finished product.
Another great Jonny EV review - best car reviewer in the business 👍🏼.
Saw both the Ionic 5 and EV6 at Fully Charged Live this weekend and I have to say the EV6 styling of both the exterior and interior stood out and appealed to me much more. However both are out of my price range ;-(. Also not sure why there is an obsession with dark pillar trims and headliners these days, it just makes the interior darker.
The same goes with the seats, always dark & dismal in the UK. I went to the EV6 event at my local dealer last week. When asked "what do you think about the interior"+? "I replied "a dark hole". "Why can't you spec the light colour seats in the UK?". Couldn't give me an answer.
The light colour seats would greatly enhance the overall ambience of the interior IMHO.
@@David-bl1bt I don't mind dark seats as they tend to wear better and hide dirt. Just wish they wouldn't make the rest of the interior dark.
@@robthomas7232 I've had many cars with light coloured seats (leather), I didnt have any issues with keeping them looking good looking or cleaning them tbh.
Eact to their own, but a choice would be appreciated.
I have an EV6 on order, a gt line s with a sunroof which I'm hoping will make a difference, otherwise I will be cancelling it.
@@David-bl1bt Agreed, choice is important and I would expect the sunroof to make the interior lighter. Quite envious of your order ;-)
