KIA EV6 GT LINE S AWD OWNER REVIEW: GREAT CAR BUT A FEW TEETHING ISSUES TO RESOLVE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses strong overall satisfaction with the Kia EV6 GT Line S AWD, praising its striking design, comfortable ride, excellent build quality, and innovative technology, particularly the head-up display and lane-keeping assist. The spacious interior, generous boot space, and long warranty are also highlighted as significant positives. However, the review details several "teething issues" that detract from an otherwise excellent package. These include problems with wireless Apple CarPlay functionality, dated infotainment graphics, an unintuitive climate control system, and a concerning heater failure experienced by the reviewer and other owners. Practical concerns are raised about the vulnerable charging flap design and the automatic tailgate's tendency to open unexpectedly. Charging speeds, while respectable at around 140-150 kW, do not consistently reach the advertised 250 kW peak, especially in colder temperatures. The reviewer also notes the lane assist defaulting to 'on' with each drive as an annoyance. Despite these issues, the reviewer maintains a positive outlook, believing Kia will address these problems, and recommends the car, especially for early adopters willing to overlook initial bugs.
