Used 2023 Kia EV6 SUV Consumer Reviews
Kia connect doesn’t work
I traded in an Audi Etron and bought the EV6. The car feels much lighter than the Audi and more like a normal car but with much faster acceleration. It’s quiet and the finish is pretty good. Not as good as the Audi but acceptable. In general I am fairly happy with the car but have just discovered that Kia Connect doesn’t work because I bought the car in Massachusetts. This allows you to connect to the car with an app. This functionality is standard for any EV these days and I found it indispensable for my other two cars. It can also be used to track the car in the event it is stolen or make sure your kids have enough charge to get home. Etc etc. None of this works in Massachusetts due to some kind of dispute with the right to repair law. Other car manufacturers still allow their app connections to work as they recognize how important the functionality is for an EV owner. If I had known this, I would never have bought this car (or any Kia) in Massachusetts. I might have even avoided Kia completely and just got a Tesla or Audi that end up being a similar price.
Beautiful
LOVE LOVE LOVE the car. Amazing technology. The dealership needs lots of improvement. The car buying experience was a nightmare, but a great car!

Lots of tech, interior materials could be better
There is a lot of tech onboard but some of the features, like electric door handles and HUD, are only available on top trim. Surface materials are hard plastic and fail at the $55,000 price point. However, with AWD, 0-60 is amazing!
Best car I've ever owned
I have a 2022 AWD wind and I love this car. Considering getting another because my wife likes to drive it and I don't want to not drive it. My only negatives are with the Kia connect system/ app which never seems to work fully, but the essentials work well enough. Minor quibbles like no heated mirror and the higher model Teslas are faster than me ... ;-)

Not a practical thing at this time
"A deal to good to be true" that's why I leased a EV6 GT included charger for $220 per month. Sporty, fun, fast, high torque, this EV is really technically advanced and loaded with safety features. NOT PRACTICAL for my daily usage. Long distance is not the way to use it. The probability of not being able to charge and the time it takes IF you find a station is not worth the novelty of an EV. Stress to locate chargers for any trips beyond 1/2 of the EV distance stated at current charge level as you need to have enough charge to get home needs to be considered for every trip. Considering what you have to do if you run out of charge outside the availability of a compatible charger needs to have a backup plan. My opinion is based on my way of using the EV, it's simply not a vehicle that I would have again.
