I put my UK reservation down on 2nd April and got confirmation on the same day. Trouble is, I want a GT and I've heard they won’t be delivering any GT's until 2022. This throws a major spanner in the works because the new ULEZ Expansion Zone for London comes into force in October and I need an EV by then or else I'll be paying through the nose every time I leave the house and drive, well, pretty much anywhere.

If anyone can shed any light on the likely delivery dates that'd be great.

All the information I have seen on the availability of the top performance model is aligned to the AutoExpress article "First deliveries for the 577bhp Kia EV6 GT aren’t expected until October 2022. "

You could go for a monthly flexible EV hire options from October to when your Kia EV6 is ready. All-Inclusive Electric Car Subscriptions | Onto look to have a good range of cars and only have a 1-month commitment.

I've not heard of that but it could be an option, thanks.

Had the call from my local dealer today.
Dealer: “Would you like to come in to the showroom and we'll tell you more about the car and get your order started.”
Me: “Sure, do you have one there?”
Dealer: “No, not at the moment.”
Me: “Oh, well when can I see one, you know, sit in it, get a test drive etc.”
Dealer: “Erm.... well they haven’t actually built any yet so it might be a while.”
Me: “But you still want me to order one and give you the deposit?”
Dealer: “Yes.”
Me: “Call me when you have one.”

Interesting to know of imminent test drives.

Is the deposit refundable?

Interesting.
I had another call from my local dealer and he said they wouldn't have any stock - not even for a roadshow - until at least August and maybe even September. That said, if I want any hope of getting a car in October then I need to place an order today.

I'm probably going to buy something else as I want a GT and they're definitely not available till Oct 2022
