2022 KIA EV6 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 GT-Line Dual Motor is presented as a compelling, albeit pricey, glimpse into the future of electric vehicles. The reviewer praises its striking exterior design, aggressive styling with 20-inch wheels, and unique duckbill spoiler, likening it to a shooting brake. Inside, the cabin is noted for its quietness, flat floor, and a premium Meridian sound system. Performance is a strong suit, with the dual-motor setup delivering exhilarating acceleration and instant torque, though the reviewer suggests the suspension is softer than expected for a GT-Line, making Eco mode the preferred driving experience for comfort. Key criticisms include the cumbersome touch-capacitive climate controls, the auto-disabling of the useful 'i-Pedal' one-pedal driving system upon startup, the lack of a standard trickle charger, and the distracting glossy black interior trim. The Augmented Reality Head-Up Display is also deemed less effective than desired. Despite these drawbacks, the EV6 is lauded for its impressive range, futuristic aesthetics, and comfortable, quiet ride, positioning it as a strong contender in the premium EV segment, though its near-$60,000 price point is a significant consideration.
