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.

So fun to drive!
This is my first EV and I wasn’t sure what the driving experience would be like. I got the GT-line model. Not only is this car packed with tech (and cool tech that’s actually usable), but it’s also a blast to drive. Even in normal driving mode it can pin you to your seat if you step on the gas, and in sport mode…well, let’s just say I’ve surprised a few teens at traffic lights who pulled up next to me thinking they could beat me off the line in their souped up hatchbacks. LOL! Smooth and comfortable ride, with a roomy cabin for both passengers and cargo. I play in two rock bands and all of my gear (instruments, amps, cables, stands, you name it) fits in the back with the back seats folded down…with room to spare. My dog also likes to ride in the back, though she’s almost a tad too tall unless she’s up against the back seats in the cargo area. This car fast charges way faster than my friend’s Tesla, and gets pretty good range as well. We got a home charger installed, which makes it super convenient and easy to always remain charged and ready to go. Love the color as well - I have the Yacht Blue and it’s gorgeous! I had a delivery driver tell me that it was the most beautiful Kia he’s ever seen. I can’t say how it does in snow because it’s still summer time, but I suspect with AWD and snow mode it will do fairly well. All in all I’m really pleased that I found this car - it hadn’t even been on my radar until I went to a Kia dealership to look at a Telluride and walked by an EV6 on the lot. Once I saw it, I had to know more. I’m really surprised I don’t see more of these on the road - to me they look far more sporty than Teslas, and they have the same, if not better, tech and charging capabilities. But then again, I kind of like being the unique one in town. People definitely turn and look when this car goes by!

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.

7 months in, so far so good
Smooth acceleration and comfortable ride. Love the sporty looks and color. Loads of tech stuff. Really like the blind spot camera showing up on the dash. Parking assist is awesome. Really placing the car better in a parking spot. Averaging about 304 miles of range when just commuting in city traffic. When I get out on the highway for a mix of commuting and highway speed driving, that's when the range drops to about the advertised range of 290. Car build quality is very good. Charging speed is much faster than other cars and in real world experience, its really no big deal. If I charge at a DC fast charger, I just go to my local Target where the Electrify America chargers are. I plug in with the battery reading 10-15% charge. Go shopping and get my groceries. By the time I'm done shopping, I'm at 80-85% charged. Otherwise I charge at the electric spot at work from a regular wall outlet. More than keeps up with the 10 miles round trip that I make. I don't miss the pump at all and my fuel costs have dropped by over $100 a month. After seven months, the only complaint I can think of is the seat could be more comfortable. I didn't notice much of anything in the test drive. Seemed OK. But after a three hour drive, my legs and butt actually get a little sore.

Issues
I bought the EV6 in May of 23. I started having ac issues. The replaced all the components after several issues and sitting in the shop for over a month. I also started having issues with drive to reverse but that could not be " duplicated". I requested buyback. Kia corporate, BBB, Attorney General have all have been contacted. They could not get responses from the company. This has to be the worst service, communication etc. I do not recommend KIA or the EV6 unless you want issues and horrible communication from corporate.
