KIA EV6 [Genting Hill Climb] - 1st On Genting / AWD, 605Nm Super Fun Drive / YS Khong Driving

- Finally, after a long wait, because of the global scarcity of the Kia EV6, we got our hand on one, and of course we just had to see how it performs on our favourite mountain.
We actually came up twice, but the first drive was botched a little as the road was pretty wet. (Whether or not we get to see that video will depend on our editors, hahaha.) However, we managed to get good weather on our second try, but out of respect for the 605 Nm of torque, we decided to keep traction control on.
As expected, the EV6 took to the slopes like a duck to water, and despite being 2,103 kg in weight, it was actually surprisingly agile.
My big worry was the brakes on the fast downhill section in the first part, but the EV6 made it through without any issues.
We used up 40 percent of the charge for the entire journey from Petaling Jaya to the top of the mountain, which included a good 15 minutes of hard acceleration up the hill, but coming down, it hardly used any because of the recovery.
There is also the i-pedal mode, that invokes maximum regeneration, so on a net basis, the remaining power from the yop of the hill until we reached home just dropped 5 percent.
All in all, it was a great drive - I am starting to like EVs.

The car sound's like your inside of a tunnel and a super fast car pass by! You have been a favorite driver uncle! You push every car that you review to its potential, not 100% as you're in a public road but that's how common cars are to be driven! I'm half your age but i can't even drive half your skills! You're a beast uncle! Whenever i watch your videos, i don't feel awkward that i live in a left hand drive country, it always feel like we're a passenger whenever we watch you drive! 😅 Stay healthy and drive safe uncle! Cheers from philippines! 🍻
Thanks John, for your support.
Very good car with very experienced driver! I already imagine myself driving this beast. Feeeeelll the instantaneous torque!!!
"we gonna share this corner with this car"...such a decent word by a legend racer..
Amazing! Finally the EV6 video I wanted to see. Great driving man
I just like your POV here.. It's like I'm seat inside the car and the sound comes from the motor is so soothing...
Like the driving skills and abilities of uncle. If can ever seat beside of uncle and feel it, that's the most grateful experience.
Bravo uncle khong, since i started to watch your channel about a year ago. I never watch others' car review video again. Keep up the excellent driving skills.
Im down for your driving skill Sir !!! Perfection !!!
The way that thing slings and pulls out of the corners is just effortless.
That was a great demonstration of handling the Kia-EV6 sedan at its maximum potential.
The video that I have been waiting for a long time! :)
Awesome Uncle... I always admiring the way you driving..
EV6 is superb
God Bless you with good health Uncle
Surreal to see no delay when accelerating up the hill, great driving!
Hey man is Korean not Toyota or any others fake EV this kia beat porches Lamborghini and all category EV sedan or SUV beat all them go check is faster only compare is Elon fake mask EV but still full speed we saw test vs Elon Shiz EV kia beat model 3 performance and any Europe EV kia beat all no need proof kia is fast cool designs many copies by kia like did Toyota Renault and many others from Europe copy style when kia start 2010 many shock by kia design bring Europe open eyes to others when sleeping.
Really like the blending of the different camera view in the video, the edge is soft and looks perfectly in place!
I love EV. Superb car. Awesome.
it's a fantastic car it handles very good and it's best looking for it
some how throw back the memory of the science fiction movie "back to the future" when the rocket car (DELOREAN DMC-12) travelling time space... back to the reality, after every corner, the torque roar fiercely with no hesitation, a very nice EV car. Thanks to Uncle Khong's advise while roaring this machine aggressively.
Superb car…who would have thought Hyundais and Kias would become desirable one day. I agree the sound of the motor sounds like an alien ship.
Can hit 160kmh on genting uphill.. 🤯🤯
9:55
Wow.....
Thanks Mr. Khong. Great driving by the way. This car I can consider buying. Will visit Kia soon.
Kia is in different level
Impressive, that looked like a lot of fun. Thank you for that.
You are most welcone. Please subscribe, like and share.

Bangga di malaysia ada driver usia seperti uncle. Really proud of u! Stay safe uncle khong!

Awesome driving .....i love this ev now after see your drive
Laju woooo.. nice sound.
Nice uncle, steady, beli satu uncle..😁
Saw this car today at Midvalley Southkey roadshow. Goodness me! What a beautiful car with the grey matte colour 😍
Best drive of the EV6 I’ve seen ever! Thank you. Hi from Alberta, Canada. Down hill could use the regen breaking.
Hi, thanks for supportimg us. Nice to know we have viewers from Alberta.
I think the fact thay we have such a great road here helps a lot.
And yes, tue regen was so good we used Zero power for the entire 40 km it took us to get to level ground back in the city.
wow I love your cabin view is nicely integrated into the dashboard's swooping lines. nice detail hahaah!
Thanks Kern - it's my camera rig, which you have seen, lol.
Very very Nice drive, always hit the apex and concern with other drivers , what's a rally champion racer!
I think the kid inside Uncle Khong came out a little during this drive. The car is just surreal!
So eerily quiet, like as if the car is gliding in the air! Great driving, as usual, Uncle! 👍
Thanks Yew B Tang.
Not really fan of EV when Tesla came out. But upon seeing these massive electric beasts EV6 and Ioniq 5, my oh my, I do quite like it. Looks brawny and wide up front.
YS Khong the MAN! I'm seeing top speed of 110 - 135kmph going uphill!
Go to 9.55. Top speed almost 160
Even i am not a driver but i felt like i have driven this car. Excellent driving skill!! Super nice performance of EV car! Good job KIA
Nice driving demo of the EV6
i like the sound. nice drive sir
This is the future.. not bad
Fuyoo...uncle that was a fast drive...🥰
I just love the "roaring" sound from the motor ...it's orgasmic
Sounds silly
My dream car
Wah, Uncle was smiling most of the way… EV car is really something… Bet the other cars don’t even realised until the KIA suddenly pops behind them…
It isn't just the motor sound, there is also the EV-themed sound piping thru the 14 speakers to elevate the experience.
really? that’s a bit disappointing if so. was kinda hoping the motor alone could sound this cool
@@aaronc6120 tell us a car that isn't disappointing lol.
@@m0d. haha that’s subjective already
it just speaker sound..can put sound of BMW E46 M3 also to give maximum pleasure 😂
Oh my god surprisingly I quite like the sound of it. Sounds like a spaceship
Yup, my thoughts exactly.
What a beutifull motor sound !
Hebat masta, macam bawak keta on a rally track dah tu...wooohooo...😆
uncle yg drivee tangan saya yg menggigil nengok nyaa 😂 sukaa do ev6 ni
Amazing car with an amazing driver
terbaik atok... super skill
Motor sounds like F1 in the tunnel😮
Thanks for the video.
Hey ys Kong went to try the climb last Sunday did it 2 times from the half way mark as my hotel was there. Quite a fun road to be on alot of give and take with the locals. Followed your lines.
I notice alot of people cook their brakes going down and not use engine breaking. You can actually smell the matalic smell going down. Had to use d1 and slowly go down. Cheers!
As long as you keep it safe, great job!
Nice driving as usual can ye try EV6 GT next for the genting run that'll be awesome if it ever land on our shore.
This must be one of your shorter videos, coz the drive up and down is so much faster! So effortless, and u don't even need to shout over the usual cabin noises. Lol.
Bapaklah pikapnya untuk crossover 2 tan😵💫
This car is madness
It looks like uncle is enjoying the motor sound
The car handle so so well
Congratulations.....
nice driving tawke, regards from Philippines ... im your Fan . hope to meet you in KL
Hi Don, thanks for your support. Give me a buzz when you come.
KIA POWER OF SUPRISE.
This car is insane! Driving was superd.. Speechless..
I think the whining sound is artificial.
I don't drive fast but I watch videos to learn how to take corners if I need to. You are amazing Uncle. All your videos are very good which puts smiles on the face
You are right about the sound. It is piped in. And thanks for supporting our little channel.
Powernye, sedap bunyi dia
uncle gambateh! bravo.. hope you will also drive and review xc90 this dinosaur in one day!
What a lovely sounding car. 😁
Uncle, by any chance you can request another pro driver to follow you from behind? Just want to see your skills from the back. Your line is superb.
For that spirited driving, it sure is quiet inside
The sound just like you were in the spaceship
Good job
the car accelerate so damn fast , although its a 2 tan mpv!
wowww.. thats fast.. driving..
Vinfas vf8 number 1
the synthetic sound kinda sounds like a sci-fi V12!
hai uncle...saya selalu juga tengok car review from uncle..semoga uncle sihat selalu..😃
Terima kasih!
Syabas la.
Seem like new development
Sports mode.. you're in 'Tron' movie
Hi uncle saya hadir di sini 👋🏻😊🇲🇾
Magnificent driving Uncle! Can you tell us what percentage of the battery was used up on this drive?
40
Thanks for the ev experience. By the way have you tested the X70 1.8t dct on the usual route?
Yes, about 2 years ago. The video is on the channel.
20 year ago..this only exist in d dream...
If I have a chance to join uncle , I must be a very excited person in the world..just wanna be a passenger ..uncle is my idolaaaa coz driving a silent car but very2 fast..not like the other outside the car is sooo noisy and somtimes explode pooomm2 but the car so so only..iyeeeek
Beautiful! Though it looks like this car needs bucket seats for such "spirited" driving.
Superb review Uncle! Does the car come with adaptive dampers?
No, I dont think so.
From the video can’t help but notice the super Low CG of this car even though it’s a SUV
hi uncle, will you feel that the seat has not much support for doing highspeed corner?
Although the seats are meant to be comfortable instead of doing high speed corner of course..
I thought they werr quite good. Never had any negative opinion cross my mind.
Hi, YS, how strong is the regenerative braking, does it help you to reduce stressing the brake disc? hence heating the disc less..
There are 3 levels of brake energy regeneration, plus the i- pedal or 1pedal feature.
@@YSKhongDriving does it helps you in slowing down the car fast enough and reduce heating up the brake disc?
Any chance u drive a Henessy F5?
Superb driving as usual and I could see the expression on your face that you really enjoyed it. You were like a kid in a toy shop😅. Pity you had to return it.😏
Hahaha, yes, I enjoyed the car. Now I can say I have gone into the future, at least for a while.
@@YSKhongDriving I watched it AGAIN , as I am investigating into transitioning into an Electric Vehicle(not necessary a KIA) and found your video to be very helpful. Surely you must miss the third pedal, not knowing what to do with your left feet😂😂......no more rev matching/pedal work etc etc, the downside of EV I suppose.
Sorry bad grammar...left foot. My father would be frowning from heaven.
Really beautiful car especially at night. Saw a silver car one time with a company stickers from some kind of energy tech company. Started with 315km on sport... 330km on eco... At the end of the run on sport its only left with 172km haha. I wonder how much would it it be able to regenerate if eco mode is back on the downhill.
Me too observed on the battery consumption upon pushing hard on the car going uphill
Uncle is having too much fun with the car... hahahah
sound like starwars ship!
I love this car super faster car
Hi uncle why dont u drive my toyota fortuner petrol up genting? it will take u quadruple the time but ull enjoy the cool air!
wow so exciting to just focus on steering the car without any distractions on gear changes. Noted your lack of concern for the battery throughout the drive.
I knew there was enough to last all the way.
