3 MONTHS WITH EV6! 2023 KIA EV6 ELECTRIC CAR REVIEW: GT-LINE AWD | SHOULD YOU BUY A HYUNDAI IONIQ 5?

EV Channels Review

After a three-month, 2500km test, the Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD proves to be a compelling, albeit premium-priced, electric vehicle. The reviewer highlights its striking, concept-car-like design and spacious, lounge-like rear seating as major positives, along with impressive practicality, including V2L functionality and a useful boot. The driving experience is praised for its comfort, capability, and confident handling, setting it apart from the more comfort-oriented Hyundai Ioniq 5. Real-world efficiency exceeded claims, and range anxiety was non-existent for the reviewer. However, criticisms include an abundance of hard plastics and piano black trim that are difficult to keep clean, a somewhat cramped-feeling front cabin due to a low roofline, and overly zealous lane-keeping assist software. Despite its size making low-speed maneuvering challenging and a high price point, the reviewer concludes that the EV6 is an incredible car that offers a unique, versatile EV experience, making it a highly desirable, if not personal, ownership prospect.
