Kia Offers Free Apple Watch With EV6 Electric Car Purchase

[9927036]

If the offer was buy a watch get a free car, I would do that.

Even if the car bursts into flames?

Even if the car bursts into flames?

If that happened, I would sell on eBay in slightly used condition.

Looking forward to the gazillion recalls on this one. I'll never buy a Kia again, my wife and I have had nothing but issues on our 2013 Sportage and my 2016 Soul.

There will be 6 years between your Soul and the ev6 release. 6 years. Quite some times to improve.

Beside, there is about a thousand moving parts less in an EV, which help quite a bit in term of reliability.

Having said that, I will not buy this car, I much prefer the Ionic 5 ! (Which is quite similar in terms of technology).

Lol. Why didn’t you mention the 1982 model?

 

[sirozha]

Same here, in 2009. Worst car I've ever had, and trust me I owned a couple of clunkers.

It’s 2021. Lol.

 

[sirozha]

When inventories are tight due to the chip shortage curtailing everybody’s production any OEM that has to entice buyers with a watch, etc, must have a poor sales issue.

Yeah. Poor sales issue as in this car is not for sale yet. LOL.

and is not available for sale in 2/3s of US states.

As far as I know This is going to be a +$60k. A new Apple Watch won’t make any difference

It’s not going to be $60k+. It’s going to be around $50,000 with dual motor and before tax credit.

 

[sirozha]

Must be issues with the ones manufactured for the US market. I own a sportage and it’s been an absolute dream. I’m in the U.K. abs it’s the best car I’ve owned.

No, there is no issues with Kias in the US. It’s just these people have no clue.

 

[sirozha]

What if you have Android phone. So all Kia owners need to use iPhone?

No. You can get a free charger instead.

 

[sirozha]

38mm Series 0, Wi-Fi only. No band included.

Are you a comedian? Because it was hilarious. NOT. Series 0-2 only had Wi-Fi. Genius.

 

[sirozha]

After signing the lease: "... we never said it would be last generation".

Latest generation? Another comedian.

 

[bousozoku]

I'd rather they offer a free, new Kia vehicle, if I buy an Apple Watch.

 

[sirozha]

Even if the car bursts into flames?

If you want to get the car that bursts into flames, that’s a Tesla.

Wow. It’s like a Comedian Convention here today.

 

[jonnysods]

Would someone really buy a vehicle because they can get a free watch?

 

[Lerxt]

Can't bring myself to buy a Killed In Action vehicle.

 

[koruki]

oh too bad I already have the watch, will give this car a skip then

 

[9927036]

If you want to get the car that bursts into flames, that’s a Tesla.

Tesla, Kia and Hyundai.

 

[Luke MacWalker]

ridiculous. Id rather have "the first payment is on us"

Especially if I can pay in two payments! 😉

My brother had zero issues with his 8 year old Picanto. Good thing they've got one of the best warranty's out there I guess.

 

[ds2000]

I like the looks of some of Hyundai’s and Kias vehicles, but once I realize it’s a Hyundai or Kia it’s essentially dead to me lol. What’s insane is both companies are much better quality than previous, but still not worth the money to me.

You should try one. I had a hire Kia 4x4 thing recently and it was great. Much better quality than my Model 3

 

[eqqs]

buy 2 houses in LA and get 2 pizzas for free!

 

[Ken88]

Most people are bashing Kia, rightfully, but people are not paying close attention to the little detail..perhaps Apple and Kia close to signing a deal for Apple car, which to be made by Kia? Think about it, it DOES make sense or why would Kia give away free Apple watches??🤔

 

[Jimrod]

I'm not sure what the difference between Kia's and Hyundai's sold in the US vs the UK is (aside from all the weird model names) but in the UK both have had a good reputation for years now, the 7 and 5 year warranties being testament to that confidence. US cars however do not and that includes the terrible build quality issues with Teslas! Seems to be some old bias like we used to have in the UK with Skodas here...

Do well in current surveys...
