Good cop, bad cop: this is how Koreans place their products. From the Hyundai Ioniq 5 some were a bit disappointed.

In connection with the matt gray lacquer (“Moonscape Matt” for 920 euros) the amazed spectators seem a bit disappointed when Batman doesn’t get out of the car while reloading.
Extraordinary workplace: We feel comfortable in the Kia cockpit, the screen layout fits, the workmanship is high-quality.
There is hardly anything to complain about in the interior
We climb the Crossover (62.5 cm seat height) and admire the spaceship-like, floatingCenter console. The whole thing is given an additional visual kick by the monitors, which are combined to form a unit, consisting of an instrument cluster and a central display that is slightly curved towards the driver – very cool screen layout! The display below controls either air conditioning or infotainment. On the other hand, we don’t find multiple bookings so cool, but at least they still exist real knobsfor temperature setting or volume and navigation zoom. Also Workmanship and quality inspire: The EV6 is stingy with hard plastic and rattling noises. Solid work, Kia!

EV6 is fun when you step on the pedal
One big step on the accelerator pedal and the passengers have other worries. Especially on streets that are wet in autumn solid start intimidating the four-wheel drive fellow travelers properly. But for the driver, the thing feels clear thanks to that firmer chassis pretty consistent. The EV6 seems properly trained, even wedges the rear end of the car when using power, so that a little “wow” crosses your lips. To go with this, the direct steering as well as the snappy and well controllable brakes.

Without a break, the steering wheel tugs a degree to the left and then to the right and again to the left … deactivate immediately! Fortunately, the switch is conveniently located on the steering wheel. Another quirk: After charging at the fast charging station with the ignition switched on, the electronics are permanently confused after unplugging the cable, does not want to release the car for driving. The restart does not work immediately either. That can be done more skillfully. You can find out what else we noticed, how the Kia drives and what it costs, in the picture gallery.
