I bought a used 2016 Kia Soul EV+ last year. My first Kia and my first EV and I have been extremely impressed. Best car I have ever owned, bar none. Fit and finish inside and out are top notch. Every knob, button and lever in the car has a solid, no-wobble feel to it. If this is any indication of the build quality of Kias and Hyundais then they will do very well indeed with these EVs.

Thanks for reviewing the EV6. I'm in the Ioniq 5 camp but this is a seriously cool car also

So EV6 has the HDA2 that allows for those automatic lane changes on the highway as well as the lane centering and adaptive cruise control combined. I’d imagine the AutoHold would be for any other mode than i-pedal (one pedal) driving. Looking forward to hearing about the friction brake use (if any) during i-pedal driving and how the i-pedal works with the speed limit (gps location on known roads) while on HDA2. It should recognize the limit and slow (i-pedal?) to the top speed. Looking forward to your testing results. 😍😍Great First Drive😍😍

I've been waiting for the new Model Y and battery, I now will wait to test drive these when they come out in the US. I own two Kia's currently and might just get this one instead of the Tesla.

Kyle, 3 of my friends have bought Tesla model 3 cars because of your channel keep up the good work

One reason I pick the IONIQ 5 over the EV6 is the back of this car; It’s OK in black, but if you chose a lighter color, not for me.

I hated the interior and styling on the Ioniq 5, and while I still hate the gauge cluster UI shared between them, otherwise the EV6 is a really nice (and Ioniq ofc gets credit here too) capable car. (that tiny front trunk is still kinda sad though)

Ordered mine already. 👍

I you are in Munich Car show, you have to take a look at the new Renault Mégane, even if it's not going to come in USA, it worth the shot. It's the class under, more medium size, but definitely a success in it's category everywhere it is going to come. It already gives me a smile on my face and didn't even took me from A to B yet. 😄

Thanks. Please measure the turning circle. Its quite important in the UK where we have smaller roads and tighter turnings.

Hello Kile, which car did you prefer between EV6 or the ID4 ?

Kyle i saw your doppelganger working at a Kohls in Wisconsin.

After looking at options for the past two months, I am Going to upgrade my 2019 KIA Niro EX to 2022 Niro EX because the Kona/niro are still better than a lot of the cars that are coming out now. Was disappointed with the ID-4 because it takes 15% energy to go from here to there. Got close to buying a polestar 2 because of the way it drives, but decided to wait until the FWD model is here and available to test drive, at which time the EV-6 and Ioniq-5 will be here, so it will be another time to compare what is best for me.

can't wait till they come to the states

You can get auto lane change in the UK with enhanced auto pilot, no need to go for full self driving. That said it is still too expensive and really should be standard with auto pilot.

FSD is nice but unless you do a lot of highway driving most won’t get it and it’s overpriced. I have a model 3 and if I had FSD I wouldn’t really have a use for it much other than the occasional self driving trick. I don’t like how Tesla doesn’t include auto lane change or self parking as part of the autopilot package, features other brands have and now the EV6, if they can do it why not you Tesla! At least offer it as an upgrade, I’d pay for that but keep it reasonable. Now that other car companies are doing similar tech it won’t be a differentiator anymore and Tesla will need to realize people won’t pay for FSD at that price plus when will it stop going up? 46K+ for a Tesla to start plus another $30K for FSD in several more years? No takers now, no takers then.

The front motor disconnect is something I wish Tesla did in the AWD cars.

It will get to that point when we have no choice when you can no longer buy a gas car. Until then, we have to suffer.

The average Toyota Corolla/Camry fully loaded is $30k and above. A Mini Cooper electric starts at $30k and qualifies for $9500 in incentive. The Chevy Bolt is $35k.. Electric cars aren't that much more expensive when you factor in the incentives and cost of ownership. The main issue I have with electric cars is that they force you to drive more efficiently because you are constantly looking at gauges to see how much kw you're using and what your state of charge will be once you reach your destination.. Range dropping in cold weather and while climbing hills.. Finding a public charger that can fast charge your car at its maximum speed and the wait... Most people do not have time for the above because either they don't want too or they are just use to filling up at the gas station in 5 minutes and on their way and not worrying about range.

Really depends on your preference I think, if you do a lot of long distance road trips the Mach e's fast charging is a big strike against it. However there is no real difference with home charging and the Mach e is otherwise a great car, has a much larger and more useful front trunk too. I definitely lean towards preferring the mach e on the interior and really dislike the UI for the gauge cluster on the Ioniq 5/EV6, but that might not bother you and it is all around a really good car. Looks like the Mach e will be a slightly lower price point but I think you only go wrong with Mach e if you cross country road trip often in which case EV6 is clear winner. (I really hope Ford fixes the fast charging for 2022MY or software updates the 2021.) Otherwise go with whichever you like more.
