MY KIA EV6 GT 800MI WINTER ROAD TRIP WAS SUPER ANNOYING!

EV Channels Review

This road trip review of the Kia EV6 GT highlights significant drawbacks, particularly in cold weather and daily usability. The reviewer expresses strong dissatisfaction with the vehicle's range, especially in winter conditions, noting a full charge barely indicates over 180 miles. Comfort is a major issue, with seats described as incredibly uncomfortable and lacking lumbar support, making long drives arduous. The software is also heavily criticized for being laggy, unintelligible route planning, and generally unusable compared to competitors. While acknowledging the GT's impressive performance when driven hard, the reviewer argues this is impractical for 99% of daily driving scenarios. Charging performance, though capable of high speeds, is hampered by inadequate preconditioning logic in cold weather, leading to extended charging stops. Despite the car's hardware potential, the software and comfort issues make it a disappointing package for the reviewer, who would prefer other EVs like the standard EV6 or the Ioniq 5N.
