LIVING WITH THE KIA EV6 FOR 3 YEARS - WHAT WE REALLY THINK!

EV Channels Review

After three years of ownership, Joel and Somer share their comprehensive experience with the 2022 Kia EV6 Wind Rear-Wheel Drive. The couple highlights significant savings on fuel as a major pro, contrasting the EV6's driving dynamics favorably against Tesla models, which they describe as more akin to a "golf cart" or "Jeep Wrangler." They appreciate the comfortable and quiet ride, the instant torque, and the surprisingly spacious rear seating. However, their ownership was not without challenges. The most significant drawbacks include persistent issues with the 12-volt battery and ICCU, leading to multiple dealership visits and rental cars. They also express frustration with the clunky and unintuitive infotainment system, particularly its lack of seamless route and charging planning, and the slow over-the-air update process. The wireless phone charger is also noted as unreliable. Despite these issues, they would still recommend the EV6, especially for its fast charging capabilities and overall value, though they express a preference for the styling of the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
