Overview

The 2025 Kia EV6 is the brand's midpriced electric vehicle, bracketed by the smaller Niro Electric and bigger three-row EV9 SUV. Among them, you could argue the EV6 is the most stylish. That's especially true of the 2025 model, which has a refreshed front end and a massaged interior that features a new steering wheel. You also have two battery packs to choose from: a wallet-friendly small pack that's great for trips around town and a long-range unit that makes the EV6 suitable for road trips. With a choice of rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, a maximum EPA-estimated range beyond 300 miles, and the 641-horsepower GT model that should accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.3 seconds, there is an EV6 to appeal to a wide range of tastes.

Edmunds spotlight: Updated for 2025

The Kia EV6 gets an extensive update for 2025, its first since the electric crossover went on sale three years ago. Both of its available batteries get a slight increase in capacity, which results in slightly more maximum range than last year. There's also a new Tesla-style NACS charge port for the EV6. This will allow you to potentially charge at Tesla Supercharger stations, which greatly increases your ease of finding a public fast charger. Other changes this year include more power for the EV6 GT model, a new touchscreen software interface and some new features.

Competitors to consider

As a testament to the fundamental goodness of its underpinnings, one of the 2025 EV6's strongest competitors is its corporate sibling, the Hyundai Ioniq 5. They have similar power and range and mostly differ in style. Other recommended options include the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y. Read our Expert Rating below to see how the EV6 measures up in this expanding group.

Which EV6 does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the Wind trim. It mixes performance, range and upscale features while keeping the price relatively in check. If budget isn't a factor, consider the GT. It's pretty much fully loaded, leaving you only to decide which color to get.

The overall sentiment for the 2025 Kia EV6 is mixed. Owners love the car's fast acceleration, smooth ride, and spacious, stylish design.

Awesome car with a quiet/refined ride

Jon, 03/06/2023

2023 Kia EV6 GT-Line 4dr SUV (electric DD)

We got our Ev6 (GT-Line RWD) a few month ago, we love the car. Our number 1 requirement was for a smooth ride (after owning a Bolt, a nice but rough car and high NVH on freeway). The number one requirement was for a a refined suspension and low NVH. We tried pretty much every electric car (Model S, Y, Mach-E, ID4) and every Lexus (as a reference). We found the EV6 to be top of the line …
