A motoring YouTuber has revealed what its like to drive one of the most popular electric family cars, stating he was particularly impressed with the performance.<\/p>\n

Matt Richardson runs the Furious Driving YouTube channel – where he’s seen road testing cars, old and new, and fixing his fleet of interesting models.<\/p>\n

In one of his recent videos, Matt briefly gets behind the wheel of an all-electric Kia EV6, a model he claimed he had wanted to drive for a long time.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWow, that is some quite fierce acceleration. It\u2019s pretty impressive for a big and actually fairly heavy car as well, it\u2019s not bad at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cTypical of pretty much every EV out there you can feel the weight of it as you go down the road, but it controls pretty well, I\u2019d say.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, Matt explains that the model he drove features all-wheel drive and dual motors that produce 321 horsepower.<\/p>\n

He also praised the design of the interior, which features a large, flat dashboard and a number of screens to show information such as speed, information on the range and a clear sat nav.<\/p>\n

Matt was also quite surprised at the ventilated seats, which can be used to heat or cool the front occupants whilst on the move.<\/p>\n

However, whilst Matt was mostly pleased with how the Kia EV6 drove, he criticised one feature that it shares with a number of other new models.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cIt does, however, have the scourge of modern cars of Lane Keep Assist. If I press and hold that button, does that go away? Yes, oh thank goodness.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll turn that pest off we don\u2019t want you. But this is very heavily styled in a very interesting way which I really do quite like.\u201d<\/p>\n

  First launched in 2021, the Kia EV6 is a five-seater family hatchback that uses the same platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Genesis GV70.<\/p>\n

  It received the European Car of the Year Award in 2022, with critics praising its good handling, sporty feel, and impressive range for the price.<\/p>\n

  Whilst the sporty EV6 GT can accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 162mph, the Long-Range models are able to travel up to 328 miles.<\/p>\n
