Is this still one of the best electric cars? 2025 Kia EV6 facelift!

Is the new Kia EV6 worth it?...🤔

Join me as I take the refreshed 2025 Kia EV6 Facelift on a scenic drive to see how Kia’s latest EV upgrade handles.

What do you think? Have Kia upped their game? Let us know 💬 ⬇️

A excellent review must say I am not the biggest fan of electric cars but cars like that are slowly winning me over 😊

[VagabundoOMC]

The previous interior was anxiety provoking. Piano black as far as the eye could see. This is so much better.

[adrianupnorth]

Nice car. I've just bought the E Niro. Kia make such capable EV's. Even the doom an gloom farmer down the road believes in climate change now. The weather and seasons are all over the place.

Kia only fitting a heat pump to the most expensive UK EV3 & EV6 models is a bad move. It is surely most needed on the smallest battery versions. They use the excuse that no one was specificy a heat pump when it was a £1000 option, perhaps they would have had more takers at £350 !!!

One pedal driving don't give you more range!
This myth need's to die!

Coasting give you more range!
As you brake with your brake pedal - you will regenerate as much as if you let foot off throttle pedal in one pedal mode.

Great car video. Interesting when reversing that you still like to turn your head to look through your rear window ... why? 🤔Would like to see you do more EV reviews please 😎

[tomcurran]

Doing so well until the "wood effect"🤣 Good review again, good car!

6:53 You don't get more range with an aggressive recuperation setting. Letting the car roll is more efficient then converting the kinetic energy into electric energy and then converting the latter into kinetic energy again.

[DanielBrownOre]

FYI Those two lines between the climate and multimedia button switch means you can press anywhere between the two lines to switch, you didn't have to press precisely on each icon. This makes the switch a little less annoying

I feel the industry is reacting to the "range anxiety" issue by putting in bigger batteries, just so on those rare long trips you can take fewer 15 minute breaks.
If you had the same car with a smaller battery you'd get better energy efficiency because the car would be lighter, and still be able to make 95% of your annual journeys without resorting to any fast charging.
This one works out at about 4 miles/kWh, very nice in a car of this size. Would people trade a smaller battery and shorter maximum range for 5 miles/kWh, given how rarely anyone actually wants to drive 5 hours at 70 mph without a single rest break?
It feels like people are buying cars they can use for their annual family holiday, when what they really need is a car for their daily commute.

Oh my goodness; talk about Climate Change AS MUCH AS YOU FEEL LIKE!! It is one of the most important, existential issues facing all of us. Thank you so much for talking about it, whether (weather) here or in your other videos, including the ones where you attended the COP conference.

[rogerstarkey]

I was invited to a "Pre-launch" of the original at a local dealer.
As a "Large Unit" (1.94m) I found it "space compromised", requiring a not quite "F1" driving position.

[SamKhoury]

0:33 I believe you meant the GT is coming out not the GT-Line.
6:31 i-Pedal is not the same as One-Pedal driving. i-Pedal controls the level of regenerative braking from 0 to 3. One-Pedal Driving increases the regenerative braking amount to above Level 3 so it will stop the car for you automatically without using the brake pedal.
11:56 Didn't your top of the line GT-Line S have a digital rear view mirror? It can be turned on and off so maybe it was off when you drove the car and you didn't know that feature is new in the 2025. The Korean 2025 EV6 GT-Line has it because I saw it in videos so I'm pretry sure yours did too but it might have been off so you didn't see it.

[dugfriendly]

Big fan of this style! Like the Zeekr 001 ❤

[ebeirne]

What method of range calculation are you using?

[megapangolin]

Great car, Eilis, looks good, few too many dirt traps at the front and on the wheels, perhaps. Heads up display-perfect. Love the pale coloured steering wheel, no chance of any mucky fingerprints left on there thank goodness. 380bhp? 100 more than my Boxster S, and faster 0-60 too. Family transport? Perhaps cars are getting too powerful now, perhaps smaller motors and batteries to give less weight on the roads to reduce potholes, and of course to reduce Climate Change might be worthwhile, after all on those roads, all cars can only top out at 60mph. You look like you had a fab time, the car is really impressive. Well done.

[Baconfish]

They've gone to the trouble of designing a panel that switches between climate controls and shortcuts, but it still puts the volume control on the wrong side for a rhd car?

[QuesrForPaul]

Did you call the brake discs "wood effect"?

[nickclarkuk]

If you have a minor hit to the bottom of your car, it could be written off by replacing the entire battery. I’ve seen quotes of around $56, 000 for a replacement for the EV6. Manufactures need to offer battery repair and servicing instead of replacing the entire thing. It’s crazy!

[karlInSanDiego]

Eilis, pro tip. Tell future junket wranglers that you care more about the planet than the rest of those car journos and generally review actual sustainable transportation, e-bikes. The'll put you in the 2 wheel drive, single motor varient which has less production emissions, is more energy efficient, and when the battery is smaller, costs less too. Triple win for the planet and you and one less motor to worry about fixing. We can think of it like paying it forward in the coffee queue, only you're saving a motor for the next car they sell. You'll make up for the lower range with a train ticket when you travel far away, or pack an e-bike in the boot. EV6 is mega. We almost bought one, but got an i4 instead. Both are great relative efficiency.
