  • Kia is very serious about going all-electric and the 2022 #KiaEV6 is the first vehicle to show that. Built on the same platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the #EV6GTLine goes for a sportier vibe and this #EV6 #GTLine with the long range battery and RWD goes the furthest on a full charge, at 310 miles. The exterior styling turns heads on the road and the interior has a uniquely different design with premium materials and loads of tech.

    I purchased a dual motor AWD GT-Line. I have been daily driving it for a few weeks and so far I really like it. It has a fun sporty feel but somehow also manages a very comfortable ride quality. It is also very fast and fun to drive. I drive about 100 miles a day and have been managing to just use a 110v to charge it. I start Monday off at 100% charge, plug it in each night when I get home from work, and on Friday I start the day at around 70% then get a full charge on the weekend. The car really puts a smile on my face driving it and makes me laugh every time I drive by a gas station when I see the outrageous prices.

      If you don't mind sharing, what's your commute daily, like how many miles you put on each week? Do you have winter where you live? I'm in eastern Canada & I'm looking for an AWD EV that can handle harsh winters.
      I also heard that the performance of this EV isn't dependent on the % of charge. Isn't 100% charging not considered optimal, or is this a unique battery type that isn't adversely affected by 100% charge?

      @@NunchucksHabit I drive roughly 450-500 miles per week. Mostly highway miles. I live in Florida so we do not really have winters. I know the GT-line has a heat pump however. The performance has not been affected by the battery charge level. I have had it down to 4% on the drive back after buying it and all levels between and the performance has been the same. I alternate between ECO mode the Sport mode. If I am on the highway I stick it in ECO mode and turn on the excellent HDA (highway driving assistant) and keep it in sport mode all other times since it is so much fun. I am not sure about any negative impact for charging it to 100%. I will keep it until the warranty runs out at 100k then buy something else so not too worried about it for now. I am surprised I can get by on just charging it at 110v though and meet my driving needs.

      ​@@SheldonYing I got really lucky on mine. Been looking for months and most all dealerships in FL wanted between $10k and $15k over MSRP for the GT-Line. I called a dealership named Friendly Kia that showed online that they had three. When I called them all of them were sold however one person had backed out of the deal literally 5 minutes earlier and they said they would sell it to me at "only" $2k over MSRP. Normally I would never pay over MSRP however the EV6 qualifies for a $7500 tax credit which I badly need (I owe taxes every year) so I put a deposit down immediately and drove 250 miles that day to get it. Maybe give them a call to see if they will make the same deal and find out when they will have another one in stock.

      @@JDMSwervo2001 I hope so. I've always championed Tesla's aggressive approach & loved that they put more power into their cars than 'necessary'. This "just enough" approach in a market defined by mostly neutered men happy with ~180hp was killing cars for me. I believe I might just hate Elon Musk, though, and the interior design of Teslas is depressing. Love the roof & the visibility, as well as the many cameras around the car making for a very 'smart' vehicle.
      No reason KIA can't invest early & continue making fantastic cars like this, although a RWD car is as pointless as getting a bicycle in Canadian winters. I need AWD & as much power as I can get. KIA were the worst cars on the road not that long ago, but they've grown to one of the best. With far fewer moving/intricate parts to break down in an EV, unreliable brands will be only be a bad memory.

If you switch over to climate controls and wait a few seconds it defaults back to audio. The ambient lights are super nice and wish they were that bright in the 2022 Telluride.

Here’s a snippet quote I found: “While no two sets of ears hear any single sound exactly the same way. I am seeing this sort of reply after the SA494 update. "Wow! My Meridian sound system is much improved after the service update (SA494). The vocal are much clearer (they were muffled before). I can hear the different instruments in the song, and the bass is much improved. I don't have to push up the bass, treble etc settings to get the sound I want. They are all in the center now and the sound is much better - what I'd expected from a premium sound system. “

    Its strange that KIA and Hyundai are doing so good in the EV market and producing some very good looking and reliable EV's. I remember in the 1980's and 1990's, these two companies only produced garbage cars that didn't last over 5 years, and now they produce the best in the world. While American companies seem to struggle with advancement and have only produced a few good cars like the Mustang Mach E and the Volt and Bolt. Why was the Volt discontinued?? It was such a great EV?

    Good review. On the FB group for the EV6, folks are saying that after the April/May nav update, the sound system improved a lot. Previously drove a Tesla Model Y LR. I would get the AWD GT Line or AWD Ioniq 5 Limited (that’s what I got). It’s so insanely quick. For the CarPlay, I got the SuperiorTek 3.0 wireless CarPlay adapter for my Ioniq 5, and it works really well for that. I’m sure it will work with the Kia too. I was unhappy with the Model Y because it was extremely stiff, didn’t have CarPlay, and most importantly unfortunately was one of the folks who had insane phantom braking.
    It was between the GT line AWD EV6 and the Ioniq 5 Limited. I prefer the Ioniq 5 Limited AWD, because it feels more premium, but the EV6 GT Line also feels great and has some things that are better.

    BIG TIP with the climate to infotainment change-over button: hold the button down for three seconds and it will bring up a hidden menu to select an automatic default. Choices are off, infotainment, and climate. If infotainment is selected, the system will automatically switch over to radio controls after a few seconds of inactivity. And vice versa if climate is selected. If left off, the menu stays on what ever was selected last.

      Absolutely no one is suggesting people who currently own a vehicle that they are happy with drop it and buy a somewhat premium EV just to save money on gas.
      You are making a moronic straw man argument to justify your position.
      Also, sure your electricity bill goes up but unless you are massively overpaying for your power it’s still substantially cheaper per mile to drive with electric over gas.

Once they find out more homes have more EV's ... do you not think they are going to hike your energy cost and take advantage of your energy saving EV ???

    I don't get your issue with the dual purpose control panel for the audio/climate control. Do you really switch between the 2 that often? Doesn't the steering wheel have audio controls? I think it's a great use of space and simplicity.

    6:56 there is no AWD badge for the EV6. That's only on the Ioniq 5 and 6.
    15:26 Kia needs to make the volume and tune knob to go further out so that it would prevent accidental touches. I'm actually looking to find some sort of extender to place over those knobs. I could switch the volume and tune knob around in the system but that would make the volume knob kinda of far away. I know I could always change the volume on the steering wheel as well but I like using the knob more tho.

While you were riding with “Alex on Auto” in California Wine Country, he mentioned the 19” rims with narrow 235’s could be changed to 255 all season. Having now driven the GT-Line RWD Vs being with Alex could that still be done for added handling? Your video has got me thinking more towards buying the EV6 GT- Line with RWD and having additional miles. In San Antonio Heat Pump and Heated Steering Wheel not needed.
