Video Summary

Summary points:

The review features the facelift EV6 GT, a beast with KIA on steroids. The previous version had 585 horsepower, but the current version has 650 horsepower with launch control, which is similar to the IONIQ 5N. 

There have been changes to the exterior; it now has a facelifted face. Adjustable vents have been added for extra cooling if needed. The GT features the same Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 21-inch tires. 

The new version has a bigger battery, 82-84 kWh. 

The previous EV6 GT was kind of barebones with manual seats. The current version has more convenient features like electric adjustable seats and ventilation, and the EV9 dashboard is now present in this car. 

The reviewer will conduct a range test to compare to previous results.

Although it is a sports car, the ride is nice and comfortable. 

The reviewer noticed that the steering has capacitive sensors and can work using one hand. 

The auto steer and the adaptive cruise control are independent features.

Matrix lights are now upgraded with 12 elements per side.

The new EV6 now has a smoother belly (underbody) to improve aerodynamics.

The car showed excellent highway handling. The test determined that the battery has high voltage architecture and offers the combination of great driving pleasure and range.

The tester noted that while test driving at highway speeds the road noise and the car cabin did an excellent job of creating a relaxing driving experience.

Based on the data, the reviewer claimed it has lower consumption than the older model while providing more range due to the larger battery, and fast charging through 800 volt architecture. The reviewer recommended the EV6.
