KIA EV6 AWD NURBURGRING LAP WHEN A VIEWER TOSSED ME THE KEYS

EV Channels Review

This video features an impromptu Nürburgring lap in a viewer's Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD, highlighting its surprising performance capabilities despite its comfort-oriented setup. The reviewer, Kyle, was impressed by the car's smooth acceleration, balanced chassis, and surprisingly effective brakes, even managing to keep pace with Porsches and a Golf R. While the suspension is noted as soft and prone to body roll, and the tires are not performance-spec, the car's inherent chassis strength and forgiving nature allow for spirited driving. The reviewer praises the brake-by-wire system for its feel, though notes some ABS weirdness and eventual brake smell, indicating they reached their limit. The reviewer also touches on the potential for degradation in the 77.4 kWh battery, but notes minimal degradation after 30,000 miles, attributing it to the battery buffer and fast-charging capabilities. The infotainment system is singled out as a weak point, but the overall impression is highly positive, with the reviewer expressing a strong desire to test the more powerful EV6 GT.
