2 month anniversary – our 1st EV. Test drive impressions have been exceeded with ownership. The instant light throttle response took a little getting used to, comfort and handling are impressive as it the quietness, hardly and road noise. Flush Door handles are easy to use as is opening / closing the boot by hand. Rear window keeps clean, rain spills off. Car is loaded with tech, cruise control, lane assist, automatic distance montoring, the car is capable of driving itself on roads with clearly marked lines. Can disable it all off the steering wheel which I do most times. Music on Amazon Prime off the phone is very good, like the self charging pad. Love the one pedal driving, cold weather range – 250+ miles, rising up now as it is getting into the spring. 271 miles indicated now. Charging straight forward on our Ohme home charger, linked to Octopus Intelligent Go. £3.08p for 41.1kw overnight. Build quality is high, no rattles, as good as our previous BMW X1 but much less noise. Looking forward to longer days for longer trips out. Can do 100 mile plus and get home again to charge. AP of £4995 slightly higher than the Ioniq 5’s £4795. Very few seen driving about so has an exclusive feel to it. Pearly White paint finish was a good choice. My wife loves it as well.

The EV6 seems to be a car that’s doing OK, there’s not many moans as I can find.
So is this a viable alternative to the Skoda Enyaq given the build delays that we are encounting?
There seems to be stock available around the country!
Can current EV6 owners add anything to the thread to convince me to make the change?

I believe the 2025 Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ionia 5 models are due for a facelift and a battery upgrade from 77 to 84kWh.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally say the wrong thing.
The EV6 AP is higher, but if it is affordable to you I would not change it for anything else. After 3 mths the car still rates as the best car for us. Quality is outstanding, range 260 miles plus now. Worth a test drive for sure.

2005 - 2017 Honda CRV Exec 2.0dEv6 lovely car ,As we all know kia sportage gt s hev exellent ,but as far as face lifts go only minor changes to my25 car ,that those who have ordered will get ,,soon I hope.
Looking on AutoTrader there seems to be a lot of GT & S variants available but only one GT Line AWD with 321 Bhp.
I don’t think Motability will let us loose with the 577 Bhp GT version just yet!
The spec on the GT Line looks pretty decent. I think I’ll keep looking to see if anything pops up with a few extras to temp me! 🤔 The ventilated seats sound very nice!

Can you post a link to this? I can’t find it and it seems strange why they would put a vehicle thats been out for over 3 years now as best family car 2024

search best car for families 2024. The EV6 comes up on numerous sites.
Here’s one from Autotrader

Do you agree?
Sorry my mistake, it is Autotrader that has announced it.

2005 - 2017 Honda CRV Exec 2.0dThanks I got it now, it makes more sense it was up against the EQA and BMW i4 neither use bespoke EV architecture so it makes sense now thats the EV6 compared to these 2 would win.
Thanks for posting
In Autotrader, the EV6 also beat the Ioniq 5 as best car for dogs, which is odd, as we found that the complete opposite, there is much more room for the guide dog in the Ioniq 5 which is why we ordered it, the dog could not stand up or sit without drooping her head in the EV6 and shes a fairly small golden retriever/lab cross.
I’d venture they didn’t ask dog owners, or try anything other than a wee terrier in there…
I also thought something more practical like a Berlingo would be the obvious choice, a large, tall, square boot with a low load lip, perfect for pooches. Wife hates them as a “van with windows” so not something we are allowed to look at…lol.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.

@abercol, I had another look at this, and when you look they only questioned 200k motorists, therefore a very much flawed award system considered there are 33million vehicles in the UK they have not even reached out to 1%I think you are right regarding the dogs too
