First EV… loving my EV6 GT-Line AWD!

Just picked up my '22 EV6 GT-Line AWD First Edition! I wasn’t even considering this car because it was out of my price range. I was originally looking at the Bolt or Leaf, but I was lucky enough to grab this one as a lease return at my local Kia dealer.

My car history has been all over the place. My first ‘adult’ car was a Mk.7 VW GTI, which I absolutely loved. I had to sell it when I moved to NYC because driving a manual in the city was too much. Since then, I’ve had a ‘15 Camry Hybrid and an ‘07 Honda Fit.

But this EV6? It’s the first car to make me smile like my GTI did. The acceleration, handling, and futuristic tech are just amazing! For anyone thinking they can’t afford it, be patient! These are starting to come off lease, and depreciation is definitely your friend.

Awesome find! I love my Yacht Blue, but that First Edition Yellow really pops!

Thanks! Honestly, Yacht Blue is my favorite, but I wasn’t about to turn down this deal! My wife and father-in-law aren’t huge fans of the yellow though.

@Mark
The yellow really stands out, especially with the black accents. Looks sporty!

@Mark
Looks like you’ll need a second one in blue! :joy:

I wasn’t a fan of yellow when I first got mine, but it was the only one available. Two years later, I love it!

That’s some classic Stockholm syndrome! :joy:

I love the yellow too, but I don’t see it on the Kia website anymore. Did they stop offering it?

Congrats! The yellow looks amazing.

If EV prices keep dropping, I might return my lease and just buy one off the lot!

You should do it now while most people are still nervous about used EVs!

That’s an interesting color!

First Edition Yellow. The 2023 LE had a limited edition green with a tan interior.

I’d love the green, but this yellow is :fire:. Didn’t even know it existed until recently.

The green is great! I love mine.

My second car was a forest green 95 Outback. It’s one of my favorite colors, especially for wagons.

If a green EV6 pops up as a lease return, I’d be very interested. But they seem pretty rare, right?

@Howard
Only 1000 made.

That’s what I thought. Still, better odds than the yellow one!

I love my yellow one too! It’s so easy to spot in a crowded parking lot.
