I sincerely love my 2022 EV6 Wind that I got last June. It's intuitive, easy to use, gets a solid 270+ miles of city driving per charge, drives like a car or an EV depending on the setting and can outrun any rice burner or lamborghini when needed (I live in SoCal and have done this to a Tesla Model S, Subaru WRX, my neighbors' Lotus and a maserati granturismo).

My only issues with it thus far are:

  • Small rear view window makes it hard to see behind you at times
  • The toggle button between environment controls and media controls is annoying, but voice commands help
  • The steering wheel buttons like "Mode" or "star" programmable buttons don't always stay and reset to factory defaults
  • The HUD doesn't have programmability
  • It's impossible to disable the warning system that beeps when there's a car in your blindspot or you're changing lanes without using your blinker

Superficial stuff mostly. I've taken my vehicle in once to the dealership so far... to get a nitrogen refill on the tires. That's it.

I never thought I'd like EVs as I've had a gas car since 1989 and found the Tesla completely weird to drive comparably. This year I was lucky enough to get a KIA EV6 Wind and love it as it has 3 selection modes (Similar to the VW ID.4) for the regenerative brakes that at least in mode 1 feels like a car. It's allowed someone like me to transition to an BEV gracefully and I now drive at mode 2 with more breaking force when you let off the pedal.

They're not for everyone, especially the damned price, but that's slowly coming down too.
