2022 KIA EV6 DETAILED WALKAROUND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 presents a compelling alternative to the Hyundai Ioniq 5, offering a more conventional yet stylish design and a driving experience tuned for Australian roads. The reviewer highlights the EV6's impressive exterior aesthetics, particularly the GT-Line trim's 20-inch wheels and the unique rear light bar. Inside, the dual 12.3-inch displays and the use of recycled materials are noted, though the wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is a disappointment. Practicality is strong with ample storage and the innovative 'zero gravity' seats offering a reclined mode for charging. The reviewer praises the Australian-tuned suspension, expecting it to provide superior ride and handling compared to the Ioniq 5. While the full-fat GT model with its sub-three-second 0-100 km/h time is anticipated, the GT-Line offers a potent 5.2-second sprint. The vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability and a generous cargo area further enhance its appeal. However, limited availability in Australia for 2022 is a significant drawback.
