Kia EV6

Resetting the head unit may sort out the the traffic/non response issue.

Solved similar for me previously.

Download the Kia Connect app and set up your account prior to collecting and you should be able to quickly register the car from a QR code on infotainment screen or by using the VIN number before driving off.
If still registered to previous owner, get the garage to sort it. If they took it as trade in, they should be able to call previous owner and ask them to delete the car from their account.

Issues myself and others had with early models 212/221 to look for that warranty should cover.

1. Check bottom of both headlight clusters for cracks.
2. Check silver trim piece around airbag cover on steering wheel for cracks/breaks beside buttons
3. Ensure all door handles pop out and retract (assuming it is an Irish car, as not all UK versions have automatic pop out handles)

One of mine had cracks and I got it replaced under warranty.

Brian from EVOdyssey on YouTube had it on both of his and got them replaced, so I decided to ask when it was serviced in January.

It took a while to get it approved by Kia, but got a new one fitted about 2 months ago. Dealer told me that a new headlight unit costs about €1700 each for Earth spec, so definitely worth asking.

Are the headlights different on GT-Line models ?

I just said I know of others who have had the same issue and got them replaced. They took pictures and sent off to Kia for warranty claim, but I had to chase them up a few times for an update before eventually getting it done.

I think the problem is lack of any padding under the headlight which I assume has been addressed with later models. I got mine in Jan 22 so was part one of the first deliveries.

If the bonnet is opened regularly I would guess it is more likely to happen. I only use my frunk for charging cables and don’t open it very often as I have a tethered home charger and must have closed it a bit too aggressively once or twice.

Looks really stealth. A proper wolf in sheep’s clothing, green calipers are the only big clue as to it’s performance from the outside. GT pricing at launch was crazy. Some Dealers advertising pre reg 242 demo models for €66K now. It’s a long way from the €87K price listing a few months ago. There’s obviously a push to clear stock ahead of the facelift model. Current model exterior looks nicer than the facelift images I’ve seen online. New version is likely to get the 84kWh battery and more power as per its Ioniq 5 N sister car. It could also gain the €80K price tag.

I do find the quality of cable really matters for connection. Make sure it's a decent quality cable

I think it’s unlikely to have affected anyone. They couldn’t sell them at that money. Few dealer demos made up the majority of the sales.

Yes, some very optimistic prices being asked for GT-Line cars but supply when new was an issue. Ironically some of the spec of the GT-Line is not on the GT. Seat adjustment for example is manual adjustment on the GT but are electric on the GT-Line.

Plugshare for finding chargers. ABRP for route planning. And then the various ones for your charging accounts like ESB, Ionity etc.

It’s likely a bumper off job and the headlights may need setting in terms of beam pattern etc. Half a day is probably more realistic.

Very confusing indeed.

How much approx would this car have cost the original owner last year?

A lovely machine, I wonder why they traded 12 months after buying it.

Yeah, it's actually one of the worst things about the car. It chips so easily and gets lots of little scrapes. The dealer I bought from fixed all the paint chips for me prior to me buying. How bad are the chips on it? Lots of people just use one of the pens to fix it.

I'm on my third Sorento, a 2022. Kia paint is the one annoying quality issue they seem to have and have never rectified. Power washed the latest one myself at home as I don't trust the drive through systems anymore and still the hose managed to scuff the paint where the A pillars are at the front. From a distance you would not notice but it's sad to see they have not resolved this problem yet as it's very annoying.

OP that's a great price for a 2022. I'd be suspicious if it was another make but of course you would still have quite a warranty left with Kia.
