IONIQ 9 REVEALED AND KIA MOVED EV6 CHARGE PORT | FIRST LOOK AT REFRESHED IONIQ 5 AT LA AUTO SHOW

EV Channels Review

The Ioniq Guy provides an in-depth first look at the Hyundai and Kia reveals from the LA Auto Show. The Hyundai Ioniq 9, while initially polarizing, grows on the reviewer with its spacious interior and impressive 110 kWh battery, though the third-row space is noted as tighter than expected. The refreshed 2025 Ioniq 5 receives praise for its exterior and interior updates, particularly the new center console and wireless charging, though concerns remain about potential seat belt rattle. The Kia EV6 also sees significant updates, including a move of the charge port to the driver's side for US-built models to better accommodate Tesla Superchargers, and a power increase for the GT model. The Genesis Electrified GV70 gets a larger infotainment screen and the North American Charging Standard. Overall, the reviewer is excited about the advancements across the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis lineups, highlighting the proliferation of the NACS port.
