2022 KIA EV6 REVIEW: IS THIS REALLY THE BEST EV?

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV6 is presented as a potential "world's best EV" contender, and while the reviewer finds it to be a "very, very good EV" with stunning looks and excellent driving dynamics, it falls short of the top title. The reviewer praises its "incredible" interior design, intuitive infotainment, comfortable vegan leather and suede seats, and the spaciousness afforded by its long wheelbase, particularly for rear passengers. The Australian-tuned suspension is highlighted as a significant advantage, offering superior ride quality compared to rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5. However, criticisms include the use of less premium materials in some areas, a tinny Meridian sound system, and a disappointing real-world range, especially in cold weather, falling significantly short of WLTP figures. The reviewer also notes the long wait times (two years) to acquire one, questioning its "car of the year" accolades given this availability issue. While it's not as quick as a Tesla and priced similarly, its superior ride quality is seen as a key trade-off.
