2022 Kia EV6 Review: Electric For The Mainstream

Inside, the EV6 is a little more visually interesting than the cabin of the Ioniq 5, though falls short of the eye-catching aesthetic — and charming gimmicks — of the GV60. Dual 12.3-inch dashboard displays are standard, running Kia’s straightforward infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. A few extra menus have been thrown in to keep track of EV performance, too, while GT-Line cars have a head-up display.

All trims but the base get a 14-speaker Meridian audio system with subwoofer, and there’s no shortage of connectivity: four USB-C for charging, and a USB-A for hooking up your phone. A wireless charging pad is also included as standard, as are dual-zone climate control and heated front seats. Ventilated front seats are standard on all but the base trim.

It’s a pleasant and spacious place to find yourself, with lots of storage nooks and cubbies. There’s 24.4 cubic feet of trunk to play with, down a few from the larger Ioniq 5, though dropping the rear seats expands it to just over 50 cu-ft. For the most part, everything is easy to control and navigate, though I’m still not a fan of Kia’s switchable HVAC/media buttons. The touch-sensitive strip flips between the two sets of controls, saving space on a dashboard that isn’t really short of that, to begin with.
