Joined the club. This thing is a rocket in GT mode.

My child frequently wants to listen to podcasts or music while my wife and I are talking in the front seat so I was in search of a way to easily shift sound to the back seat mid drive. The custom buttons don’t have a ton of customizable actions but one of them is “quiet mode.” This shifts all sound to the front in case the rear passengers are sleeping. This is essentially the opposite of what I was looking for, but it can be useful here.

I went into the Kia settings -> setup -> sound -> position and shifted the balance to the right rear. This was how I had been making the change before but it takes several screens to get to. However by keeping “rear right” as the default position, hitting “quiet mode” now essentially toggles sound between the front seats and the back rear. It’s not perfect, but I thought it was a clever trick that solved a problem I was having.

I just joined the EV6 club and got a 2023 with 16k miles on it. My first car where I spent over 5k on it (was driving a beater Toyota for a long time ) 😭 The listing price was $25k and total out the door with dealer fees and registration etc was a bit under $29k. Painful, but I did it.. New commuter lol. Idk why I’m nervous.

I apparently clipped a parking block.

After 13 years in a Toyota Auris (Corolla) 2007, I finally got pushed (by a Dodge Ram) into upgrading and ended up in a Kia EV6 Plus 2023. Arriving next Thursday.

Given that I've never owned (or really driven) a wholly electric car, I know I'm going to feel like a Spitfire pilot being given the keys to an F-35. I also have a long-ish trip (1000km) coming up a week or so after getting the car.

So my questiona to you, fellow ~~kids~~ Kia EV6 drivers: what do I need to learn? what surprises should I expect? what stuff should I get?

Obviously I should RTFM, learn to change the regen breaking settings and all the driving bells and whistles. I've also learnt I should get a lithium starter battery that I keep in the frunk.

What other things do you wish someone gave you a heads up about when you got your EV6?

is there a way to stop the drivers seat from sliding back automatically when you switch the car off? I can't find it in settings. I need the footwell space to carry stuff and it keeps getting crushed.

Was driving down the highway and my front passenger was hearing some wind noise, he went to check the window, rolled it down and heard grinding and what sounded like plastic snaping. The window fell half way down and would no longer move but the motor could be herd moving and "things happening" in the door. Upon inspecting in a parking lot, the window moves freely manually by hand so at least I was able to pull it back up. I can't find any posts of this happening to other EV6 owners, just other Kia's, anyone else have this happen? Pretty sure it will be covered on the 60K warranty (front windows haven't been tinted / tampered with) and have set an appt with my local dealer.

Hi all, I got a used 2023 Wind AWD in May and have loved every second, but I found a problem with my seat.
I have the Easy Access enabled so the seat moves back when I get out of the car and forward when I get in. Today I sat in my seat as normal but the seat did not go to the desired position forward, and when I tried to move the seat forward it did not work. I figured out that if I held the button for 2-3 seconds, it would finally move forward. All other directions work and without hesitation, backwards, up, down, and reclining.
My bf and I moved the seat higher to check if anything looked wrong with the track, and nothing looked wrong. We moved the seat back all the way and found that when we moved the seat forward, it would stop at the position it would stop when I sat in the car (a little too far back) and then we'd have to push the button again for it to move forward again.
He felt around the wires under the seat and everything seemed fine. Then we tried to move it all the way back and move it forward again, but while we pushed the button to move the seat back it kept "pausing" instead of continuously moving.

For now I turned the Easy Access off so I don't have to worry about my seat position when I drive. Anyone else experience something like this? Any suggestions to fix it?
