I’ve now driven two GT-Line S cars and today was confirming what I already knew plus checking some more features out. This time (different dealer) we were left to drive on our own so I made more use of the Sport mode. Wow! It really lunges forward. Even if you don’t alter the throttle position when you select Sport the thing just takes off. The AWD must feel epic. Nav worked well and Apple CarPlay engaged ok but I found if you came out of ACP and went back to the cars native nav or infotainment screen ACP wouldn’t come back on without unplugging and replugging in the USB cable. Maybe it was just me. Could someone else check. Both of my current cars have ACP and you can freely go from ACP to the native systems and back without unplugging.
I’m really liking the Runway Way and it contrasts really well with the black accents.
The Meridian sound system was ok but nothing more than that so it may need a bit of fiddling to get the thing set up properly. Probably on a par with the Bose system in my Mazda CX-30 but way off the sublime Mark Levinson system in my Lexus RX Takumi.
The more I look at the bodywork the more I admire it. I love the 911 shaped rear wheel arches and, today, noticed how flared out the front wings (clamshell bonnet) are.
The ride today was unsettled compared to the other EV6 I drove, even my wife commented on it. The car was running 43-44psi in the tyres (transportation pressure) and not the 36/38 F/R as advised on the door card. No one has mentioned this in over 700 miles! I overheard, as I was leaving, the sales person giving a technician a talking to.
The rear armrest kept flopping onto the back seat. It sort of stays in position but if you touch it or put a drink in it if flops down onto the seat. Somebody else on this forum mentioned the same.
I managed to change the mood landing but it’s buried in the car’s settings and not display settings. I guess once you’ve done it it’ll be ok but you need to search hard for it.
Finally, for now, we still could not find away to change the screens from white to black or vice versa. The dealer didn’t think they changed automatically too. This would be very dangerous plunging into a tunnel with bright white screens on and they not changing automatically to night mode. There appears to be what looks like a light sensor on the dash near the windscreen but covering it made no difference. I reached out to Kia UK to confirm, or otherwise that this is the case. I don’t believe the car doesn’t change the screens to dark or day mode automatically.
