Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!
Crapy horible car!
@@georgevisan973 insightful!
@@KentBuchla are working at Kia?!
I can't imagine how far KIA have gone in the pass 5 - 10 years. The most brilliant car design team ever !!!
We are talking about Kia!!!.
I repeat, Kia.
What the Hyundai Group is doing during the last decade, above all last 5 years...no words. Absolutely brilliant.
Congrats on the exclusive!
Why so surpirsed? People used to talk about Toyota and Honda the same way in the 70s and 80s and look where they are now. If anything, the Koreans have managed to achieve the same thing as the Japanese in a much shorter time.
Kia is a very global brand. The design happens all over the world, with now the best designers in the industry. The things you see, happen because the right decisions were made by people with loads of industry experience.
@@CumBrianFries Exactly for that!!.
What they have accomplished in such a short period.
Not surprising. S Korea is a quiet global tech powerhouse behind much of the technology we use every day. The more 'electronic' cars have become, the more Hyindai Motor Group's tech side shines.
They're building the fantasy scifi cars of the past, today #N74
@@CumBrianFries people still talk about Toyota and Honda. They're kings. Kia is just a start up compared to Toyota.
If any manufacturer is going to surpass Tesla it will be Hyundai/Kia/Genesis. Everything they bring to market is a winner!
I’m so sorry, idk how I read winner as wiener.
I’m so sorry, idk how I read winner as wiener.
Ok buddy!
Fast Evolution
As much as I like what Hyundai does, so far Tesla is capable to churn out more Teslas compared to Hyundai EVs, but I hope that changes in time, also puts more pressure on Tesla to get better with their Quality and After sale care.
i-Kia has knocked the ball out of the stadium with this one. Supercar performance. With adaptive suspension the settings can be infinite comfort, sport, rain, track, rally and customisable as well. It all depends on what a manufacturer is prepared to provide for their cars.
The Kia EV6 GT is looking really good. And fast too! 😀Welcome to Stockholm, Sweden as well! 🇸🇪
Love the wheels on this, some of the best I’ve seen on an EV
Looks like they took some inspiration from Audi
Kia EV6 GT looks good inside & out ! Same for Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6 & Genesis GV60 ! Slainte' ! Cheers !
From the outside view much better than all the german elelctric cars...
thank you for this review, was waiting for that, I ordered my GT last Month , still one year for delivery, but seeing that the drive in normal is good ( what I was expecting) makes the choice even better
It was great seeing you again and drag racing against you! But the ping-pong/table tennis battle at the end of the day was the absolute highlight for me!

They do it on Car \wow as well :(
Kia/Hyundai are knocking it out the park with their EVs. Tesla could take some noted in regard to design, as a car lover I find their cars bland beyond belief. The EV6 and Ionic 5 are both outstanding designs (im not that sold on the looks of the Ionic 6 though 🙁).
I drove the GT-line about 9 months ago and liked it, but was surprised how much I liked my recent test drive of the GT. The power is quite manageable even in GT mode. Was also surprised how nice the ride was so thank you for talking about the differences there. I was just not sold on the seats which would be great around corners but feel too confining for everyday use including getting in and out of the car. I would have them worked on to my preference . I have one of these arriving this month with my name on it so will see if I pull the trigger, About $60K with lease deal right now in the US.
First full GT review!! Danke shone! Zehr schnell!
LOVE these reviews. So thorough! My guy is out here with the tape measure going over everything. Well done!
Awesome car, they have entered a new era
It looks a great car. I’ve got an Ioniq 5 at the moment but have n order in for a Fisker Ocean One. That’s the car that really excites me for the way forward in performance, styling and sustainability.
Woohoo!! Thomas rules!! Thanks for another review!
thanks John !!
Every test should have handling footage like this 17:20 !
Everybody can do 0-100 but what we need to know is how a car drives, is it fun or not. Good work!
Very professional video. Very good. Love this guy.
Hehee I am so happy we don’t see any more of those comments like… “but..but.. it’s just a Kia” or “but… but it’s still just a Korean car”. Only about 3 years ago there were still lots of them :)))
Looks like a car from the future. Back to the future part 2, which was in 2015. Sooo...back to the past then. Looks like a car from the past! ;)
😂
💙 Great review in Thomas style 💙
Kia has certainly come a long way from their old boring cars, now the designs sure look slick, modern and elegant. And got the best reviewer commenting positive vibes.
As allways a great review Thomas 👍😊 The recuperation got 6 levels, not just 1 to 4. If you hold the left pedal for a few seconds it will go I max recuperation mode. If you hold the right one it will go in auto mode. The last one adapt to the speed 👍😊
A very nice car and I can't wait to get my long range edition ❤️
seems like they removed the capacitive buttons for heated seats and steering wheels which was my biggest complaint when test driving the GT Line S, nice
yeah that has to do with the different seat and honestly i more than happy as well.
I would choose this over any Tesla
Welcome to my hometown Stockholm 😍👍 orderd a tesla model y lr partly because of your awsome review 🙏👍
What happened to your signature intro "Full HD, full screen and full length"????
Lovely review! 👍 But miss some change in the dampers choice mode. Nice to see a hung german in my home country!😎 Hope you like it in Sweden 🌹
I have cancelled my i4 M50, and ordered an EV6 GT instead. The Kia is prettier, higher-spec, more-spacious, significantly cheaper, and will be FAR less common on UK roads. The EV6's 7-year warranty,, plus Germany's weak/inept stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine also contributed towards my change of mind. No-more German cars built with Russian blood-gas for me.
Seeing the amber rear turn signals in motion makes me even more angry that we don't get them in the US.
It’s illegal in North America
@@canadianaviator It's not illegal in North America. Stop spreading false information!
@@canadianaviator Haha, I'll assume that you meant to say that red rear turn signals are illegal outside of North America.
Never understood why manufacturers do that, combining brake lights with indicators/turn signals is outright dangerous.
@@MrHabushi It's also bizarre that they go out of their way to have two different taillight designs, when one could work globally. This increases parts variability and cost.
You're the man Thomas
Considering the level of technology in this car it sems a bit odd that we're still using cables to connect the phone 🤔
Thomas rules!!👍👍
Plz tell me about your Panasonic dv cam,and thanks for the vlog.
excellent video 📹
game 🎮 changer 🙌
Kia is hitting it out of the park with these cars! I mean sure Hyundai is has the similar more french looking Ioniq 5. But Kia is really milking this thing. Congrats Kia, you are more of a contender to Tesla than VW is. Not just due to price, but mostly due to not having all the drama regarding combustion engines.
Hi Thomas,do you like this EV6 in this grey against the more expensive BMW i4?
Great Video. Thanks.
One question. Does the HUD still works when you are navigating over Android Auto or Apple car play?
The HUD still displays basic driving information. Nav information and directions, however, is absent when navigating by Carplay/Auto.
@@amperformance7998 Thanks for the Informations.
When it's "time to make the donuts", gotta call on the GT.
So does it have Matrix led headlights? Also does it have the modem for over the air updates? As none of the Australian models currently come with either feature.
10:40 I doubt you are going to seat five adults if the additional load the car can take is only 460kg depending on the chosen options, at least no luggage in most cases 🤔
So 5 hockey cracks would not fit;-)
When was the last time you were in Stockholm? 2016 VW T6 release? Chers!
Wonderful
Filmed in Sweden city with Austrian car plates by German auto reviewer. Nice :-)
Just EU things :D
The Euro version has a lot better turn indicators; in the US the rear light bar is the indicator and the bottom section chrome :(
Are the ventilated seats gone? Kind of a bummer for us in the southern US. Still, very impressive car! Hats off to Kia
Yes ventilation gone. It is not all that strong in the GTline I noticed.
In the acceleration test you could see the range figure drop by 1 km per second.
Hehe interesting
Thanks a lot for this great review, so... this or the Tesla Model Y Performance ? Is ground clearance the same as normal EV6 here ?
Model Y has a lot more space and the availability is better. EV6 has maybe the better built quality and it has the better suspension for sure, software & infotainment also looks quite nice.
@@andkosification thanks for the reply, TMY from Berlin have great build quality and infotainment is way better on Tesla from what I experienced. But the Kia is better equipped (HUD, 360 camera’s), so difficult choice. Indeed availability from Kia is completely random, the dealers have no clue when they can even sell it !
@@andkosification the software and infotainment on the Kia looks like garbage. What are you talking about.
so I have solved the dilemma : EV6 GT on order !
Thomas, how would you compare this Kia to Mazda CX-60? You drove both.
No vegan seats on the GT for some strange reason? Thanks for the review 😘
Not sure what you mean by vegan seats, but these are 100% artificial (leatherette and alcantara-like microfiber)
4:45
whole Kia EV6 is vegan interior, in all versions
@@autogefuehl Really? That's good. My UK KIA said that only the basic model had the non leather seats.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!
My only complaint would be the wired apple car play, come on, wireless should be standard at this price range. And the 250 mile range SI borderline for me, considering it’s reduction in winter.
Great review! Major drawback are the sport seats which are not electric. This is a major no go especially if you have different drivers and need to manually adjust all the time…
It will likely be your own personal car, drivers don't change often unless you share the usage with your family or partner.
I find it hard to believe you’d pass on this car just because you sometimes had to adjust a seat when you got in… the rest of it is just too good.
no rear ac?
Hahaha, I have to say i was impatient and I bought the hardly getable latest Stinger.
I have to say I would buy KIA premium cars any day than BMW, AUDI, MERCEDES. :D
Looks nice. Quick. Reasonable price. But...4800 lbs. 262 mile range. Garbage charge network. Cheeseball infotainment. NEEEXT!
Bravo always you brilliant
Price?
Thomas I do not think you need a fast car to have fun, I think a car that has a bright and colourful interior such as the future mini you reviewed is much better, also I thought the saying went speed kills!
Wow!!!
Last summer you were on Gotland testing Porsche and now here in Stockholm trying out KIA. I wonder what car you will review next summer in Sweden. Maybe Polestar 3 😀.
A little late - but welcome to Sweden and Stockholm 😀👍
always great :)
@@autogefuehl 😉👍
Will the US spec GT get the yellow turn signals in the for the rear tail lamps?
Amber turn signals on the lower rear potion as a sequential type is illegal in North America
They're illegal
Can it fit two
Large suitcases?
It's beautiful!🤺🇦🇺
Where you at the Stones concert??
The performance sounds epic, but I test drive the regular AWD car and it was more than fast enough, easily on a par with my Porsche 997. You don’t get the nice ventilated seats (he said they were less comfortable in the review) or sunroof (in the UK) there’s more road noise and worse efficiency. You can’t get the full range of colours either in the UK. Hand on heart I don’t think you need the extra power. I’ve cancelled my order and switched to the AWD. I’ve got fast cars and the HT seems like too much power for the EV6
MY test drive of the GT showed the power was very usable even in the city. I'm not sure I ever floored it but there is alot of modulation and control when accelerating.
This is what the VW I.D. Line should have been
Hello Thomas, thank you for this presentation. Top speed in Km/h please?
2:24
@@joeb4294 260 incredible!! Thanks a lot..
Να δούμε πόσο θα κοστίζει στην Ελλάδα....
273km
@@applerider4205 Thanks a lot
If this is anything like the standard RWD suspension setup then its a no for me. I love the look inside and out and would love to have been able to consider this but it feels like driving a boat - motion sickness invoking movement from the suspension. I'd love to look at anything but a Tesla but the suspension setup in the Y and 3 provide a much more stable ride for me.
how about the polestar 2?
@@Shithappenswhenu suspension setup very similar. I think there is a trend to move to independent suspension which is good for the masses but plays havoc with anyone that is prone to motion sickness
Have no experience on langer distance with RWD but since May an AWD with 325 HP and I can tell you there are no american serial cars with better drivetrain and only some BMW, Audi or even AMG to compare. I therefore doubt your remarks and can definitely tell you that the GT is in another league e.g. Audi eTron GT or Porsche Taycan GTS with a drivetrain on that level, that a Tesla has not yet reached in that refinement. Responsible was Albert Biermann who headed M Sports at BMW. So either you are a Tesla-Fanboy or have a strange opinion for some unknown reason?😎😜
If Tesla is your idea of good suspension I am surprised. I found my test drive of the Y and X to be awfully bouncy like they did not know what they were doing. Polestar is great on corners but terrible on bumps. Try the Jaguar as it is really good.
@@jimji2774 don't be surprised... What's good for you may not be good for everyone.
plz review g90 also
How about ventilated seat availability? Sun roof availability?
Sun roof is available depending on the market. Ventilated seats are not available for the GT because of the bucket seats
5:49 ... Well said my padawan ... well said >:))
Would've been great if you shed some light on the situation where the GT is supposed to have 100km less WLTP range than the 325PS AWD version :/ From what you say, they should have mostly similar range, but a 20% reduction is quite heavy.
it just all depends on if you are using that power or not
The GT has the motors from the GT line's rear in the front and bigger still motors in the back so it will never have the range of the lower trim levels even if you take it easy on the throttle.
Can't wait for upcoming BEVs with torque vectoring. I think 300 HP and Torque is plenty fast for my needs.
Great to see Koreans showing the competition how it's suppose to be done.
Affordable performance EVs is what we need to convince more people to switch over.
👍🏼
Its great it so many wayss, overall design, technology, fast charging and range, except....that rear end...ugggh....cant do it!
If Kia decides to put adaptive dampers into a normal 2 motor EV6, It will be a killer even for a Model Y.
Talked with an actual tesla 3 owner and asked what kind of range it Really gets... he said about 175 in colder months and 225 the rest of the yr though he admitted he did Not drive it for range and likes to have fun.
We have a quality alternative to Tesla junk, finally.
Big miss not having wireless Phone connection. Crazy 😝
No wireless convectively? That's insane, really, in this day and age.
The car has the ability to do it, I'm not sure why they haven't implemented it though. Rumour is a software fault. It may come in a software update.
I agree too! Pls kia!
Love evs
peccato che solo la GT abbia il controllo adattivo dell'assetto .. lo potevano mettere anche sul 325 cv considerato che costa più di 60000 mila ..
woohoo, Welcome to Sweden . :)
Seems like the camera keep shaking. First time I notice this shaking in review videos.
Kia/Hyundai are knocking it out the park with their cars in last decade!
So I can have Porches Taycan performance for less than half the price?
yes
How come u did this in my home town of Stockholm? :)
Driving events take place all over the world 😊
@@autogefuehl I see, hope you enjoyed it 😊
Compact? That electrical home appliance is anything but compact. It's the size of smaller SUV...
Kia is going into premium
Plz review genesis g80e,gv60,gv70e
Will be coming up soon!
I don't know man...if you're going to do a speedo behind the wheel, at least integrate it into the dashboard (ie taycan/model s). The centre screen however isn't a must regarding dashboard integration.
Love the car, the looks, the performance. Only has one massive problem, they use LG chem cells with terrible degradation. See kia soul degradation video hosted by Byorn Nyland !
The perfect car, that is completely unaffordable 😂
Im Vergleich zum Taycan ist er sehr günstig.
Sporty and with a 2 spoke steering wheel just what I never wanted
Nice ev but…Thomas, I think it’s time to create a new police force to complement the fake exhaust police: the piano black police. 🚨
So it straight lines quickly but still handles like a bus looking at that, just like the EV6 GT line does too.
You can't hide 2plus tons and try to say it's fun on a decent road. Polestar PP still looks like the better handler.
Main issue of all EVs so far, but everyone seems to be keen on getting this kink out of the way. For now EVs are good for straight line, but may get outperformed on carving turns. Unless something new comes around.
