Used EV6 for sale
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 EV6, so we've included reviews for other years of the EV6 since its last redesign.
Very good overall BUT MUCH too much nannying!

2022 Kia EV6 Wind 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

The front is very handsome, the over-haunchy rear not so much, but the trunk is large, and the rear seats fold down easily to make a ton of space. Rear passengers have pretty adequate legroom, but this is not your standard fat American SUV. We are in light snow/slush country (Long Island, NY) and bought the AWD Wind version, which of course goes like a bat out of hell. Handling is very good. It's not an SUV, closer to a wagon...so no stepping up into it (thank heaven). The inside is pretty spacious, EXCEPT there's no space *at all* in the dash for things like glasses, etc that you need *while driving*. The cubby under the driver's arm won't do for things that you need when at speed on the road because it needs opening. It's a shame, because there's an acre of completely unused space right in front of the center console. Move the console forward a bit, Kia, would you? The layers and layers of driver assist nanny stuff are a real pain when first driving: beeping when anywhere near a line in the road, and even (really *really* bad) jiggling the steering wheel as well. The first time out, I found it impossible to keep a smooth line down a curvy road. It'll take you about an hour in the main manual (in mixed Korean/English) to turn off most of that stuff, but it can be done. Be patient! The seats are pretty good, and the drivers seat memory works, but only when it's been reset (read the arcane instructions for that!!) and started over. We just installed a 40A (ca, 9.5 kW) charger, works well. But note, for owners who park their cars in driveways (don't we all?!): the charging port is--rather stupidly, in my view--in the back fender, and you'll probably need a 30 ft cable from your charger box, or be able to back up easily into your driveway. Same is true of charging stations, I expect. The switchable menus for climate and other stuff work pretty well (and *infinitely* better than any touch screen), but the buttons (particularly the AC button) are a bit small and too close for easy use when driving. That's about it for the moment. It's already impressive, and will be a really nice car, once we get over the slew of nanny niggles and so forth.

Car drives great, but clunky, unintuitive electronics + really poor visibility & limited range nearly negate the positive aspects.

Gives a nice ride but charging it becomes difficult. Fast chargers are not easily available and the level 2 if you find one near your home require 12+ hours. I would not recommended if your plans involve taking long distance road trips. I recommend you check for charging stations near your apartment, if they are in working order and if the area is safe to leave your car charging for a long period of time. Car was hit while parked. It took 3 months to get parts and the KIA dealership did not provide a loaner car.
Is the EV6 worth the wait?

In short, yes. It is worth the wait. I started shopping in July 2022. I called many dealers if not all in California looking for one that would submit an order to the factory AND not charge above MSRP. After weeks of calls and lots of research on the car itself to understand exactly what I wanted (read lots of automotive and owner reviews), I decided on the GT Line AWD in steele matte gray with vegan leather white seat package. Not an easy combo to come buy based on what lots of dealers were getting in. So, I knew I was in for a long wait. Took the risk. Already sold my car at peak value. Got the car in late October. I flew to Northern California and drove it home to Inland Empire. It looks as in good in person if not better than all the great online auto review photos. Roomy enough in front and back seat, even for people over 6 feet tall. The seats are great looking and feeling. They are not the most comfortable but comfortable enough. The dashboard has a lot going that can be a bit overwhelming but all you need is time to work with it and it’s pretty intuitive. The three drive modes are great and fun to switch between. I’ve gotten used to driving in eco mode and love the regenerative breaking. Very smooth drive and quick and smooth acceleration that makes driving comfortable and fun. I charge at home and love the convenience. I’ve not had a lot of time to read up on everything about the car in the manual but so far it’s very nice. I am very happy with the EV6. I made the jump to all electric and the EV6 does not disappoint. It was definitely worth the wait, hassle, and frustration of being extra patient.

Likes: Acceleration, speed, comfort, design, road noise, no gas, good lease. Handling is fantastic for an SUV, sportier than I was expecting and I came from a BRZ... Dislikes: -Handles ( I would like them if they popped out on their own like on the higher trims) -Charging network (not really Kias fault, but they should get with the other manufacturers of CCS port cars and help electrify america build a better network than Tesla.). I did take a long trip (500 miles) on my first week and have to say that the range was everything they said it would be, the charging on the road was as fast as they claimed (went from 31 to 98% in like 20is minutes). -Dark interior, needs some lighting like on the Ioniq 6
