I owned a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual motor and the ride was rough and very noisy on road above 35-45 mph. I traded the Tesla in for the EV6 since I had issues with build quality and hated the noise on the highway and happy so far. The EV6 is much smoother and quieter ride. It does not send anything straight into the cabin as they say. Was it 10 degrees outside with 45PSI tires? It is a better built car with more features than the Model 3. Cooled seats, heated steering wheel, pop out door handles, park assist standard, highway lane changing standard on GT Line trims and a moonroof. The price is the only thing that is not great considering the performance and brand. I paid around 63,900 for a Matte Gray GT Line AWD and called over 40 dealers trying to get a deal on something in stock.

Car drives well but the charging system (ICCU) was flawed and 3 tries to replace. 12 volt battery died and it operates all accessories including the starter. Still waiting for replacement 12 volt battery after 2 weeks

Not an SUV, rather a Wagon, but so fun.

Let me begin but saying that this is not an SUV. KIA may call it that, but it couldn't be father from the truth. Think of it as a vehicle between a sedan and an SUV. I just purchased a GT Line trim. Mine has a sun roof and as a result the headroom is two inches lower than in the Wind trim. All 36.8 inches of it. The Honda Civic has 37.2. I am 5"11, so it's actually comfortable for me, but for those of you who are 6"1 and taller, the GT Line trim wouldn't be for you. Remember, it's a wagon. However, headroom is the only slightly negative comment I can give this vehicle, everything else about it so far is fantastic. It drives like a space ship: solid, confident and comfortable. The suspension is not as firm as Tesla Model 3 or Y and actually feels like a "regular" vehicle. I think KIA did a very nice job on the suspension. Mine is a GT Line trim, so the acceleration is great (dual motors). It might not be 2,5 seconds 0-60 like Tesla Model S, but you will still leave everyone far behind you when a red light turns green. It is very quiet inside. I drove it at 85 miles per hours and you can hardly hear anything on the inside. I would say 70 decibels inside at highway speeds which is pretty good. I found the seats to be very supportive and comfortable. One can surely drive hours and hours without being uncomfortable in these seat. I have to say that I never thought that I would buy a KIA. They had been behind in the auto world for many years, but things have changed. At least it seems to be this way. This is my first KIA (albeit electric), and I am very impressed. The legroom in this vehicle is phenomenal, front and back. They've done it with the Telluride, and they did it again here with the EV6. However, the headroom could be an issue for taller drivers/passengers. If you are considering buying one, make sure you find one to go sit in to understand if it's comfortable enough for you, if you are taller than 5"11. As to me, so far so good. A truly exceptional vehicle.
Sporty EV Wagon loaded with great features!

I have researched BEV's for the last year. I was looking to replace my 2016 Cadillac ELR PHEV. I reserved a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach e Premium Long Range AWD last October but have received limited production timing information from Ford. The local Ford dealer I selected also has provided no input regarding the estimated timing of production. The KIA EV 6 caught my eye last Summer when it was introduced to the U.S. market. I did not reserve a vehicle at that time but continued to follow media updates and test reviews of the EV 6. In early February I started checking local dealers inventory. I was lucky to find an EV 6 GT Line AWD that just arrived at the same dealer group I purchased my 2019 Audi A4 allroad prestige through. With all the delivery delays and long production times I immediately arranged a test drive to confirm the mostly glowing reviews the EV 6 was getting. My biggest concern were some reports of a too firm ride and particularly how it handled sharper impacts like expansion joints and the infamous Michigan potholes. I was immediately impressed by the quality of the vehicle both inside and outside. The panel gaps were excellent and the features of the GT Line were equal to those of my allroad prestige. I really appreciated the blind spot view images that come up with turn signal activation - a feature lacking in my Audi. Considering you get a 360 camera (with high resolution display), a Heads Up Display, Smart Cruise Control, 14 speaker stereo system, Powered Sun Roof and a full group of safety technologies I was very impressed with the GT Line EV6. In my test ride I considered the ride very controlled with sharper impacts damped to the point that expected cabin intrusions were handled extremely well. Once I confirmed that I could purchase the vehicle at MSRP I immediately placed a deposit and arranged completion of purchase for the following week. I can say my ownership experience and satisfaction with the EV 6 deserves a 5 star rating. Sure there are some items that have been noted or reported in reviews like the two tiered stereo/HVAC control panel that gets accidentally changed to HVAC mode when you manually try to adjust the volume knob. I have learned to use the steering wheel volume control which is actually more convenient and safe once your brain is trained. This does not let KIA off the hook but that fault along with the addition of more soft touch and higher quality interior surfaces and a totally not-intuitive voice recognition system with limited control features make up my list of areas for improvement. I initially found the 14 speaker stereo to be mediocre but found a thread on the EV 6 forum that displayed screen shots of optimized stereo sub menu settings that moved it to equivalent my Audi's 19 speaker B&O system. Unfortunately both are still just slightly above average for expected performance with that high a speaker count. However in closing I find all the positive elements that this vehicle presents move it into the higher ranks of sporty EV's with the added bonus of hatchback versatility. In many ways I consider it an electric version of my Audi A4 allroad which in my opinion is a great compliment. For some reason the word station wagon is frowned upon especially in marketing a vehicle in the U.S. but I considered this EV 6 more wagon than SUV from its release. I am so impressed with KIA's quality and features for the price point that I plan on following the availability of the high performance GT EV 6 later this year.

After one year of driving, a number of issues for this reviewer. First and foremost: THE CENTER CONSOLE. Poorly designed. While post after post I read about the center console rattling were practically laughed at, I also read about a number of people that “agreed” with me, and had suggestions for “fixes”. The console is EXTREMELY RIGID, without any shock mitigation. Everything placed in it rattles. The spring loaded cup holder cubbys also rattle. Even items placed in the center storage area rattle. Because of this you literally have no place to put anything without getting OCD. The brakes are great under normal conditions. If activated going over a manhole cover in the rain, be prepared for a computer system going ape(****) trying to figure out how the apply ABS. It is at best “frightening”. Thirdly, range is not accurate, not even close. Yes I know about weather and driving having impact…still. Hyundai/KIA was sued because they over stated gas mileage on ICE cars. They are overstating here too. Fourth: If you purchase the Wind you will not get ambient lighting… you won’t really get ANY lighting! And let’s talk about headlights…look it up…they are terrible, unless you are coming from a twenty year old car, “they’re great”. Fit and finish…meh. Meridian sound system; a joke. Service department needs work, full stop! This is one overpriced car! Interior is quite plain and hard edged. The good: Fun to drive, quiet, mostly smooth riding, but can be “pitchy”. Paid 3k over MSRP 51k, 10/22….one year later 5,000 miles…perfect condition was offered 30k at Carmax. That’s KIA
