I lucked into buying a GT-Line AWD a couple months ago. If you're debating about buying one (or ordering one), just do it. It is by far the best vehicle of the 11 that I've ever purchased. An absolutely fantastic looking and driving car. However, don't reward those crooked dealers who are adding markups above MSRP. PS: As the father of two daughters, your little girl is a cutie. PPS: All Hyundai and Kia products that have Nav systems built into the infotainment system can't use wireless Android Auto or Apple Car Play because of a legal dispute. Doesn't have anything to do with technology limitations.

Yup! It even seems like she's becoming more knowledgeable about cars as they do more videos. It's great seeing people discover their enthusiasm about cars!

I must be a sucker for how Kia does things. This is the first EV I've been excited about in the sense that it's actually something I'd buy. By the time I'm ready to let go of my Stinger GT, they'll hopefully have worked out some first gen kinks and maybe have achieved some additional economies of scale to bring the price down a bit (perhaps by just increasing it less than the rate of inflation).

Well, it must be a good car because have we ever heard Evie laugh THAT much?! Personally, I liked the maniacal laugh at the random punch of the accelerator.

I’d take the Kia EV6 over a model Y or model 3, but I’d take a Hyundai Ioniq 5 over the EV6. I’d also look into the Mach E if it was a similar price to the Kia or Hyundai.

Thank you! I really hope to see many more EV reviews. Cheers mate.

I have always had fun watching your constructive reviews of car. You reviews are real educative and a guide .

The last point you made is dead on. I just bought a 75k Tesla Model 3 with FSD and frankly I didn't buy it to save the planet. It's literally coal/natural gas powered. I bought it because I am a tech nerd. If I could find a FSD ICE car I would have bought that. Btw I can't believe that Evie6 wasn't used in this video... Seems like I missed opportunity.

Great job on this review!

Been looking at the GT AWD for a city/roadtrip ride, this def. ticks all the boxes for me. Evie, you're an awesome reviewer!

I usually skip ads but yours I enjoy as much as your videos

So, is this the "Evie 6"? I think it is!

Also, so very close to that windowless white creeper van review. Can't wait!

I love EVs, the environment thing was never my priority, not a tree hugger. I buy it because of they are fast, smooth, stealthy, at home charge convenience and cost less to run.

We have an EV6 Wind AWD and a Mach-E. Love them both, although I have to say the EV6 is easier to operate (screen, nobs and buttons). The big center screen/iPad in the Mach-E is nice, but it's a little cumbersome.

Excellent video!😸

Great review! The drive looked familiar and then I saw Jensens in the bg, love lake arrowhead!

Thanks you for sharing ! Very beautiful 💐

Love the review. The Kia EV6 is interesting vehicle .

3:15 "what's this?" Awww 😂

I think those tabs on the center console are for routing phone charging cables because the charging plugs are annoyingly down below and hard to access.

lol every time you have Evie drive something truly sporty but confident i can tell she would love that cat secretly

😃🤚 EV6 is very appealing. Nice car, Kia. Nice review Evie! Your video has earned five lightning bolts! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

I am happy you include a would Evie drive it section. It's amazing how much my wife factors into car decisions.

The best part of this is how adorable you two are. Have fun. Maybe next time get the kid involved and ask them what make a car better or worse for them :)

I know it's unrelated to the car review but I highly recommend the Flying eyes sunglasses. Super light weight for running and no discomfort when I put them on under my MC helmet.

I think Kia like Hyundai nailed it especially considering this is there 1st attempt. They are stylish, lots of good tech, plenty of room, an actual moonroof you can open.

I keep seeing it as Kia Eve 6. "Here's To The Night."

nothing to add, just engagement. Thumbs up

Great review. I was about to take the leap and purchase an EV6 but, the US government decided that only cars made in America qualify for the tax credit. So, now I'm looking at the Chevy Equinox EV. Going to wait until your fabulous review before I finally decide. Thanks! BTW, I recently purchase a 2012 nissan leaf sv just to get a feel of driving an EV. So far I like it.

I wish the EV6 had been out when I bought my Kia Niro hybrid (which gets incredible gas mileage by the way). I love that EVs and hybrids are built like consumer electronics with lots of great quality of life features you don't necessarily get in a regular old internal combustion car.

“I’m so sorry” 😆🤣🤣

Evie is the star of the show!

Are there any non tesla high speed DC chargers in the Big Bear/Arrowhead area? I don't see any on charge point. We just bought the EV6, immediately drove to San Francisco and absolutely loved every minute of it.

"Oh look, a Tesla!" Right after talking about autonomous driving 🤣

We just bought and EV6 and I watched this video to help decide lol

@motormouth explained the wired-only projection as Hyundai/Kia fighting to be the default map provider on models with sat nav. wireless AA/CP doesn't allow for this, so therefore they don't allow wireless AA/CP

As much as she enjoyed the car, and as enthusiastic as Evie was in her “yes” response I was half expecting you guys to announce you had ordered one to replace the CR-V. I have a 10-year-old Santa Fe I want to replace with an EV or Plug-in (while there are still incentives to be had) and I’m pretty much down to the Mach-E, Ioniq 5, or the EV6 if I had to do it right now. The Mach-E probably won’t have any more incentives available by the time I’m ready to buy, the Ioniq is a tad cheaper and roomier than the EV6, so I’d probably go with that. That being said, I’m trying to hold out for something closer in size to my Santa Fe (EV-7 Perhaps) so for now, it’s nothing. Have a wonderful day Muzios!

the tabs on the side of center console are full usb wires for your connected android auto or carplay.

nice review! sounds like a lot of road noise, is that true?

I bought an EV6. A Yacht Blue GT-line RWD. Have to wait till Feb '23 for delivery, because they are only bringing 500 cars a year to Australia and they all sold out months before the car "went on sale". I picked the EV6 over: Ioniq 5 because while I like the I5's exterior style slightly better, I like the EV6's interior better. My wife prefers both the EV6's interior and exterior. The EV6 also has a bigger battery, ventilated seats, and a Australia specific suspension tune that is better controlled and more comfortable than the I5's soft and wallowing ride. Tesla Y because the Y isn't for sale here yet. I don't like running everything through the touchscreen. No instrument panel. No HUD. The glass roof (with no shade!) bakes the interior in the summer. No ventilated seats to mitigate the heat. And by reviews I've seen, the ride quality is awful. Tesla 3 for all the reasons I listed for the Y, but adding a small back seat and tiny boot opening. Polestar 2 because it is a little small in the back and the ICE platform compromises utility. Safety and tech that are standard in the EV6 are optional. Ride is firm, but strikes a better ride/handling balance than the Teslas. It is very handsome and has the nicest interior by far. Similar arguments for the XC40. The VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq, and Nissan Ariya are coming to Aus, but no one can say when. The Ford Mustang Mach-E isn't sold in Australia, and probably never will be.

I think the new Standardized Mountain Friendly Bar is very reasonable. It is more of a Winter Mountain (On Road) Rating. For me, living in the Canadian Rocky Mountain Foothills, it makes a lot of sense.

Umm Evie is really good at ads!!! More more!!!

This car looks really really good in Blue

So classic!

saw one of these for the first time the other day out on the road. videos just cant compare to seeing it for real.

How many miles are these reliable for and where is it made?

I just bought one so that’s what I think about the Kia EV6! Wind 🌬

How is the mate paint so far I really like it but have heard really bad reviews about mate paint in general

So if I see one of these with Evie6 as the plate I’ll know it’s the Muzio Fam.

5:50 I was about to say, they should stretch it just a bit and make a wagon out of it. Wagon Mafia.

definitely the Kia EV6; established car manufacturer that knows how to build vehicles - better build quality; Tesla has been in market since 2012 and consumers still find assembly issues ..

Thanks for the review. Would three kids fit in the back seat?

Looks like a great car.

Evie driving an EV.🤣

If the Ioniq 5 has an open sunroof, then I probably go for it. But this new Kia EV6 is by far the only ev car I've seen that has an open sunroof vs a fixed panoramic roof. I don't want to look up in the glass. I want to open it and feel the breeze.

In Canada a Model 3 is 75k bucks and a Kia EV6 AWD top trim is 62k. And the Kia gets 5k dollar gov't rebate and the Tesla doesn't. No contest up here. Tesla Model Y is 84k up here. No rebate so 27k more. It's not even a consideration.

Out of curiosity, how tall is Evie? My wife is 4'11" and is considering this for her next car. But we're wondering about the visibility in general for this car. It seems like it might be hard to see out of the back.

Favorite car of the heart in a blender song.

soda with kia.. looks amazing

I love my EV6. I think the hook on the center console is for masks? That's what I use it for?

Charging is actually the main hassle for all electric vehicles (excluding Tesla). Almost all charging stations in the US are just LEVEL2 charging stations. It takes soooo long to charge and some are out of order.

Really want to DIY a drink in my IONIQ 5.

Sexy torso? Indeed. You did a pec bounce in your KBB video. Sorry not sorry 😅😂😂

i'll point out that as of january 2024 wireless apple carplay and android auto are available through a software update!

Well, considering the Tesla Model Y and Model 3 are both $15-20K more expensive, the Tesla design team essentially gave up on all attempts interior design and just stapled a 15-inch monitor to the dash and called it done, and Tesla build quality still continues to be an issue, I'm gonna say I'd prefer the Kia EV6. Really don't like the look (or name) of the Ford Mach-E, so that brings us back to the EV6 again. The VW is a car, and I'd prefer a crossover, so back to EV6 again...although it does look a little on the low side, tbh. The EV6 is probably one of the best of the bunch in the "affordable" category at the moment, considering everything else out there is priced for the 1%. I'm still holding out hope for the Canoo, the VW ID Buzz, and maybe the Kia EV9. The more competition we get out there, the more I'm hoping the prices come down out of the stratosphere and the more charging infrastructure we'll see out there. Exciting times!!

Evie Driving EV couldn’t be better suited! @micah buy her one!

I really like the EV6...and cheese sauce 🤣

I was going to buy the Ford and bought the Kia instead. Driven it for 6 months and it is great. The thing is I don't think I would have been disappointed with the Hyundai or Ford, they are great. How do you choose one, honestly personal choice and taste.

Trim level names be like - Wind Noise, Road Noise, Tire Noise.

I don’t think this car looks “futuristic” but it looks like one of those cars that look a little strange and after a few years looks normal. Think. 2000ford focus, 2009 sonata, Prius etc. to me a futuristic design would be something that completely looks like nothing else. Like an ioniq 5.

I want the build quality of a company that has some history building cars, but because of my commute, I stay with Tesla for the reliable charging network..... although, I know things are getting better with competitors.

Until we have a mature charging network the Tesla always wins because it's an ecosystem and not a stand alone product. This is about as nice to own, rund and drive 2nd car as I can imagine for families. But if it's your main car - get the Tesla.

And if you are often road-tripping, a gasoline car totally wins versus any EV. It's not even close. 400 miles of range in 3 minutes, at 150 thousand plus gas stations in America. And Camry or Accord are superb cars that are much cheaper than Tesla too.

Isn't the trunk only 18 cu-ft?

I would consider this an "electric hot-hatch" that is roomy. Its brother/sister the Hyundai Iconic 5 is taller and a bit more SUV-like. Btw, I would consider the Tesla Model Y an "electric crossover" rather than an electric SUV as billed.

Kia EV6 is very nice.

Hyundai Ioniq because it reminds me a little of a Lancia Delta Integrale.

I like the EV6, but ultimately I ended up purchasing a Model Y Long Range. The KIA has one advantage, that is design. After that though, the Model Y is more efficient (I average about 245wh/miles), has better charging, and and I ordered mine with 3rd row seats and a tow hitch which nobody offers right now. Bottom line, the EV6 is a cool vehicle. But the Model Y is a better ELECTRIC vehicle. I like the Ionic 5 too. Overall, I could easily purchase any of the three (MY, EV6, or I5). The only one I wouldn’t consider is the Mach E which is really a letdown in my opinion.

I think better is somewhat subjective. We ordered a model Y. Test drove it 5 times. It was cool, but we disliked a few things: ride was too bumpy on Michigan roads, glass roof doesn’t come with a shade (Tesla actually offers a manual one you can clip on, but reviews were mixed. We found the interior hot from lack of shade and the sun actually shone through over my wife’s sunglasses while she was driving her car), not much storage inside for wife to stow her purse (not a big glove box), no ventilated seats, and no ability to turn off passenger side air vents - if the air vents are on they’re on both sides. Also wasn’t sure about lack of buttons and using the screen for everything. It might sound nit picky, and obviously these things won’t bother a lot of people, but for us the EV6 addressed all of these issues so even though our model Y became available I ended declining and buying the EV6. The funny thing is I actually went to drive the EV6 because I figured I would not like it and it would make me realize how great the Y was.. the opposite ended up happening though! Both great cars in their own right.

@@robwolfbrandt7741 The glass roof isn’t much of an issue for me. I may see north of 90° only eight or nine days out of the year. However you are right about the ride. The Hyundai/KIA products are very clearly products of a more mature car brand when you drive them. The Model Y tends to pogo back and forth on its front and rear suspension on big bumps. The EV6/I5 smooths everything out with one thump. Thankfully it appears the new M3/MY are getting softer springs. And yes the interior design and exterior design is very sparse. As a car nerd, aesthetically speaking, the MY is my least favorite car. But I strictly got it to be a work horse so design was pretty low on my list of priorities lol. My wife LOVES the Model Y. I merely like it. It checked all the boxes. And when we ordered it, it was still only $48,000 which was a a bargain. But I’m glad you got the EV6. The Korean sisters are some solid cars. The Ionic 5 I drove was a blast. Those are the kind of cars that you look back at after you park them. After I park my Model Y, I slam the door shut. Then my daughter slams her door shut, then we walk away lol. It’s an appliance. But a damn good one to be fair.

Evie is just so insanely adorable. This review swayed my previous view of the vehicle. This vid was well done and engaging as usual. Build quality would detract from any Tesla for me. So the Korean twins or the MachE are where it's at. All things being equal I'd take the Ford.

Mach E charging speed honestly takes it off the table for me unless they push a software update to improve it. But only roughly 160 kw/hr peak for 300 seconds per charging session. This means road tripping is a lot slower. If you only drive 50 mi a day and charge over night, it probably doesn't matter. But any longer trips and you'd really feel it.

This thing trying to copy my accord sport wheels 😅

I'd do the Mustang Mach E.

Since Kia uses HERE for its navigation and they have legal disputes with both apple and google...this is why there is no wireless AA or CarPlay. Its a legal isssue and not technical. Still not resolved as of now
