Anice bit of red for comparison 😁. For me it was a toss up between the blue and the red. My better half had the casting vote 😁. Sorry for polluting the thread 😱

but then again I do like red 😁 must say Kia do offer a range of good colours in the U.K. currently . Blue, Black, white and Red and all metallic pearls. (Just showing off I washed the car today 😀)

Congrats on your car!!!. Blue is stunning on the EV6, so is black and matte grey, white, red is also nice but not my preference in that darker shade, the blue reminds me of Audi Scuba Blue which changed to an almost purple in the sun. It's a White EV6 for me after having dark-colored Audis and BMWs before, swirl mark issues without even taking the car through car washes, random scratches, and watermarks on the bonnet and roof. Couldn’t bring myself to get a Kia with soft paint In a dark color after these experiences with supposedly hard German paint, just in case it happens again, usually after 6 months or so. I ordered white with Kia black badges, added after delivery, thank Kia dealer, same as my current white 2019 Audi A4 Avant with black badges but the EV6 looks better than the old ICE A4.. Been a white car man now for 2 years, not a scratch or swirl mark to be seen!. Now I am kind of tempted to go against my judgment and get blue! But white will be available for collection next week! Looks fabulous, no car washes now and microfibres clothes!!

I see the matte yellow on some Korean sites, maybe that will come to the UK in the future. Had black Kia badges as well, wonder if that is now also an option for other GEOs. Green is nice as well. I do however think it’s too late to change my car… White is due for collection on 5th Jan…😀. Torn to go back to a dark car. Suppose not many white EV6s going about, seen red and black soo far.

Saw my first one in the wild today, a red Air. 5 mins later we were following a white GT line.
Have to say it looked great in both colours. Our local dealer has a blue GT line and I have to say it is the best colour 😀

We got red. It's a great colour and it saved £20/month on the monthlies. On one hand, the basic increase didn't seem so much but you pay all the cost options in full over the term of the agreement so it had to be red for me.

Look Red’s nice, it’s a perfectly decent colour; the neighbours aren’t going to laugh at you like you rocked up in a washing machine white Tesla.

……but, you know, deep inside, you’re secretly going to wish you had chosen YB. You know it. We know it. Sorry.

wonder if kia will replace the fated grey with a proper silver.and whether it will be too late to change my yacht blue order to silver
I think you've picked the wrong thread to blaspheme like this! :whistle:

well don't get me wrong i ordered the smg originally then found out you can't take it thru a car wash,leave it on a birds flight path,avoid kamikaze insects etc..it really should have been the standard colour option..you need £675+ to have it ceramic coated or special application of extortionate priced products to maintain it..kia have dropped it" because it was so popular"?????...so the yb is next best option and ok for you..shame for the extra £675 you can't at least choose shade of blue or red..electric blue would be far more impressive and suit it better.
