Awesome car with a quiet/refined ride
We got our Ev6 (GT-Line RWD) a few month ago, we love the car. Our number 1 requirement was for a smooth ride (after owning a Bolt, a nice but rough car and high NVH on freeway). The number one requirement was for a a refined suspension and low NVH. We tried pretty much every electric car (Model S, Y, Mach-E, ID4) and every Lexus (as a reference). We found the EV6 to be top of the line so I would not agree with "But there are better options out there if you're after a cushy ride or lots of cargo space." I found that driving the EV6 is pleasant and great damping (driving over potholes is a non event). The other 2 cars that I tested which would improve on the Ev6 is the Model S (air suspension is like velvet, sharp steering/handling) and Lexus ES (Surprisingly as its a beefed up Toyota! but handling is better on EV6). My recommendation is to try many cars back to back and make your own opinion.

Disagree with Edmunds Review
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.

Problematic electric
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
So Close to Great!
I purchased a 2023 GT-Line in October. I fell in love with the Matte Gray finish and the driving capability of the car. However, within the first few weeks I started to notice several annoying flaws. I actually traded my car in after three months for a Genesis EV70. The Kia just failed at being refined enough for a $50k+ car. Here are my Pros and Cons. Pros: *Amazing car to drive - suburb acceleration and handling *Controls - easy acccess to heated seats and steering wheel controls *KIA APP - good functionality of Kia APP for remote starting car and other features *Intuititive controls *I-Pedal - one pedal driving is amazing Cons *I HATE the door handles - There are automated by motion, but do not know whether you're coming or going. If the car is unlocked and you approach it, then it may lock! Really annoying. *Cold Air on the Floor - My feet were always cold in the car. It turns out the open center counsel was not sealed well and cold air was getting into the car. I had to run the temp over 76 to keep my feet warm. *Vibrations and rattling - with items in the cup holders *Uncomfortable seats - the seats are OK, but a little hard for my taste. Kia made a great electric car with the EV6, but should have finished the car off with a touch more quality, especially at the price point. The care is SO close to being great.

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.
