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.

Am I Ready for an EV?
- EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.
- If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.
- Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.
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. The standard battery increases in size from 58 kWh to 63 kWh, and the long-range battery that's standard on all but the Light trim goes from 77.4 kWh to 84 kWh. The awesome GT model gets a major performance upgrade, increasing from 576 horsepower to 601 hp in most circumstances, with a temporary overboost to 641 hp in Launch Control mode. The touchscreen now runs on Kia's latest interface, and there are a handful of new features. And all EV6s but the GT switch over to Tesla's NACS charge port; not only that, but the port itself has been relocated to the left rear fender to match Tesla's location and therefore make it easier to park at Superchargers.
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 Ford Mustang Mach-E, Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.4. Read our Expert Rating below to see how the EV6 measures up in this expanding group.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
9/10
How does the EV6 drive? If you want a fun EV SUV to drive, there are few options that are as entertaining as the EV6. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 are related but Kia has done a nice job of giving the EV6 a character all its own. The Kia's suspension tuning is stiffer than the Hyundai's, and the whole car is distinctly a tad sportier than the Ioniq 5. The EV6's sharp steering makes it responsive and easy to control around turns.
It's also quick. Our all-wheel-drive GT-Line test car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, which is quicker than a comparable Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volkswagen ID.4 and about the same as the Tesla Model Y Long Range. The EV6 is also easy to drive every day thanks to its smooth power and adjustable brake regeneration.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the EV6? The EV6 doesn't have as comfortable a suspension as some of its competitors. On the road, the EV6 picks up road imperfections and sends them straight into the cabin, and the repeated crashing over potholes and juddering over bumps can get old quickly. The cabin of the EV6 is also slightly louder than some of its competitors, namely the Ioniq 5 and the Volvo XC40 Recharge.
After a few long days, the seats stood out as another area that would benefit from improvement. The headrests jut out too far and your head can't fully tilt backward. Our drivers also took issue with the lack of lumbar support adjustability in the EV6.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The interior of the EV6 is slick to operate and simple to use, and it presents no real learning curve. We're fans particularly of the central touch panel that switches between climate and radio functions. Genius! That said, there are a few issues worth pointing out. Rear visibility is surprisingly not great. The thick rear pillars mean blind spots are large, and the rear window aperture is just a little too small. It's not a deal-breaker, but you'll just have to be more cautious when changing lanes or reversing.
It's easy to find a driving position you like. There's also plenty of room in the back for rear passengers. But taller backseat riders will have to be mindful of their heads when clambering in and out because of the EV6's sloping roofline.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? The EV6's infotainment system is snappy, supports USB-connected Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and is easy to use even while driving. Unfortunately, the Meridian sound system in our test car distorted music at higher volumes and never delivered full bass. It is a major step down from the Bose system that comes in the EV6's sibling, the Ioniq 5.
We also experienced a little trouble with Kia's lane centering system, which had a hard time keeping the EV6 in the middle of the lane, and the adaptive cruise control had a habit of stopping for cars parked on the side of the road. The blind-spot warning system, however, worked perfectly, and using Kia's Highway Driving Assist in slow-and-go rush hour traffic provided welcome relief.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The EV6 offers a paltry 24.4 cubic feet of luggage space with the rear seats up. The offerings from Ford, Hyundai, Tesla and VW all allow you to put more in the rear hatch area. The front trunk, like the Ioniq 5's, is comically small and barely large enough to store a laptop bag.
Small-item storage is better. There are helpful door cubbies, and the center console is good for holding larger items including a handbag or even a grocery bag. Parents will find the expansive legroom in the rear passenger area a boon for installing a car seat for kiddos too. All in all, though, the EV6's competitors do a slightly better job of offering up storage solutions if space is at the top of your wish list.

Range and Efficiency
7.5/10
How are the range and efficiency? We tested the all-wheel-drive 2022 EV6, which has an EPA-estimated range of 274 miles. In the real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, the EV6 exceeded this range by a small margin, traveling 283 miles. Our tested energy consumption — 29.5 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles of driving — is also slightly better than the official EPA estimate of 32 kWh/100 miles.
For reference, certain models of the Mach-E and Model Y will get more than 300 miles of range out of a single charge. Even the related Ioniq 5 was able to go farther in our testing.
On the upside, the EV6 is compatible with the latest high-powered DC fast-charging stations. It's worth noting that these powerful 350-kW chargers are still pretty rare — most DC fast-charging stations you'll come across are capable of providing 50 kW to 125 kW, but it's nice knowing that the EV6 will be compatible with the next generation of more powerful fast chargers.

Value
8/10
Is the EV6 a good value? The EV6 GT-Line we tested came packed with features such as a 360-degree view parking camera, a head-up display and a blind-spot warning system to name a few. The EV6 is priced on par with competitors from Ford and Hyundai, but the EV6 doesn't fully stack up in some areas. The quality of the interior materials doesn't quite cut it at this price, and the lackluster sound system is something buyers may notice.
Kia's warranty is one of the best in the business. It offers a 10-year/100,000-mile drivetrain warranty on its EVs that includes the battery pack. You also get five years/60,000 miles of basic, rust and roadside coverage.

Wildcard
8.5/10
The EV6 is one of a new crop of EVs that are slowly filling up our roads. It has distinctive styling that's bound to split opinion, but it's genuinely fun to drive. That said, the interior looks familiar, which some may see as a little bland if you're looking for a next-generation EV experience. We think the Ioniq 5 has a little more personality, and the Tesla Model Y delivers something unique in this space that Kia hasn't quite captured with the EV6.
Which EV6 does Edmunds recommend?
Kia hasn't released official information on the 2025 EV6 as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's EV6, 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.

Owner Reviews Summary
The overall sentiment for the 2025 Kia EV6 is mixed. Owners love the car's fast acceleration, smooth ride, and spacious, stylish design. They enjoy the advanced technology and easy home charging but find the door handles and touch buttons frustrating, and some experience issues with charging reliability and customer service. Many say it's not the best for long road trips due to charging concerns and range anxiety.

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 … so I would not agree with "But there are better options out there if you're after a cushy ride or lots of cargo space." I found that driving the EV6 is pleasant and great damping (driving over potholes is a non event). The other 2 cars that I tested which would improve on the Ev6 is the Model S (air suspension is like velvet, sharp steering/handling) and Lexus ES (Surprisingly as its a beefed up Toyota! but handling is better on EV6). My recommendation is to try many cars back to back and make your own opinion.
So fun to drive!

2023 Kia EV6 GT-Line 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
This is my first EV and I wasn’t sure what the driving experience would be like. I got the GT-line model. Not only is this car packed with tech (and cool tech that’s actually usable), but it’s also a blast to drive. Even in normal driving mode it can pin you to your seat if you step on the gas, and in sport mode…well, let’s just say I’ve surprised a few teens at traffic lights who … pulled up next to me thinking they could beat me off the line in their souped up hatchbacks. LOL! Smooth and comfortable ride, with a roomy cabin for both passengers and cargo. I play in two rock bands and all of my gear (instruments, amps, cables, stands, you name it) fits in the back with the back seats folded down…with room to spare. My dog also likes to ride in the back, though she’s almost a tad too tall unless she’s up against the back seats in the cargo area. This car fast charges way faster than my friend’s Tesla, and gets pretty good range as well. We got a home charger installed, which makes it super convenient and easy to always remain charged and ready to go. Love the color as well - I have the Yacht Blue and it’s gorgeous! I had a delivery driver tell me that it was the most beautiful Kia he’s ever seen. I can’t say how it does in snow because it’s still summer time, but I suspect with AWD and snow mode it will do fairly well. All in all I’m really pleased that I found this car - it hadn’t even been on my radar until I went to a Kia dealership to look at a Telluride and walked by an EV6 on the lot. Once I saw it, I had to know more. I’m really surprised I don’t see more of these on the road - to me they look far more sporty than Teslas, and they have the same, if not better, tech and charging capabilities. But then again, I kind of like being the unique one in town. People definitely turn and look when this car goes by!
Great car, too much nanny!

2024 Kia EV6 Wind 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
We've had ours for 500 miles now (Jan 24), local journeys, nothing beyond 120 mi. We spent about $1300 on a charger box plus a long 240V-50A line for that from the house.
NOTE: we would *never* have an EV (this or any other) as our only car. When we do road trips--not so often--they're usually at least 800 miles each way: grandkids, other family, etc. So we're not really interested in … range at all: the gas-propelled car will take care of that.
Cost. On Long Island, electric power is about 22c/kWh: expensive, and just about twice the price of the energy content of gasoline (1 gal = 33 kWH.) So even when the car is routinely managing 3 mi/kWh (100 mpge), it's really not much cheaper than a really efficient little Honda. That is of course before reduced maintenance cost, etc. We'll see...
We looked carefully at the new plug-in Prius Prime, which is quite something, and as a hybrid will never give you range anxiety. However, its plug-in range is pretty puny: if it were >50 miles, that would be really useful. And of course the performance (oomph) is nothing compared with the EV6. It's also smaller.
The EV6 manual and the nannying. The manuals are impossible, more than 500 pages. If you find what you're looking for, randomly, use a post-it immediately, because you'll never find it again in the index. What's that to do with nannies? Well, when the car arrives it comes with the hitchhiker's guide to everything installed in the EV galazy. No mention of the real answer, 42 (not in the manual index), but the default setup is all about taking almost complete control from the driver, assisted this, assisted that, even assisted steering (which was really creepy), etc, etc. It took 2-3 hours to work out how to turn most of it off. We are both experienced drivers, after all, and we don't use phones in the car. Perhaps we're the wrong target audience? (FYI, we--just two of us-have two other cars, a 2017 Jaguar XE for much longer trips, and a 1969 MGC, the latter of course with a stick shift on the floor...oh, goodness, what is that?!)
So to the quotidian details. 1) The stupid flat door handles, copied--for no reason--from Tesla. They freeze up very easily, just like Tesla's do. The manual--quite hilariously--gives instructions about exactly where to thump the door panel around the handle to try and free it. It doesn't work: use a hair dryer (which can be plugged into the wonderful 120V outlet in the car).
[Note added later by my wife: if you can't unlock the car, you can't connect a hair dryer!]
2) The very poor rear visibility, not at all helped by the tailgate window being so dark. You're going to need that backup camera, baby: make sure to wipe it clean, daily. 3) The long string of buttons (swappable between climate controls and infotainment) are much too small, and many button hits will turn on AC or defrost by mistake, while you're driving. Talk about distraction. 4) The awful garbage-truck reverse noise, which--get this--is broadcast at high volume from the *front* of the car. Duh?!
Actually we both love the car, despite (or having managed to turn off) many of the nannyish stupidities. 1) The two 120V/15A outlets, couple to a 77-kWh battery, mean that we can pension off our 2.5 kW gas generator in case a hurricane comes in. 2) Android auto works fine (USB cable only). 3) The stereo is OK (Meridian, but nothing special). 4) Note also that, while many reviews say it doesn't have much room...it's a *car*, not a monster American SUV that you climb into. If you need that, this ain't it. 5) Rear seat space is more than ample, and even with the rear seats up the trunk is pretty large; with the seats down, it's huge. Do reviewers all have 6 kids, or what?
Driving? With the battery on the floor, it handles very very well. I haven't really tried the real twisties yet, but I'm already sure that this (the AWD version) is a car that will go just where you point it, even in rain and slush and snow. Forget the GT: this is all you need.
BTW, we bought our Wind AWD just before the Light dual-motor AWD was announced; go for it.
Time to hang up the ranting pen... Bye!

2023 Kia EV6 GT-Line 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
I purchased a 2023 GT-Line in October. I fell in love with the Matte Gray finish and the driving capability of the car. However, within the first few weeks I started to notice several annoying flaws. I actually traded my car in after three months for a Genesis EV70. The Kia just failed at being refined enough for a $50k+ car. Here are my Pros and Cons.
Pros:
*Amazing car to drive … - suburb acceleration and handling
*Controls - easy acccess to heated seats and steering wheel controls
*KIA APP - good functionality of Kia APP for remote starting car and other features
*Intuititive controls
*I-Pedal - one pedal driving is amazing
Cons
*I HATE the door handles - There are automated by motion, but do not know whether you're coming or going. If the car is unlocked and you approach it, then it may lock! Really annoying.
*Cold Air on the Floor - My feet were always cold in the car. It turns out the open center counsel was not sealed well and cold air was getting into the car. I had to run the temp over 76 to keep my feet warm.
*Vibrations and rattling - with items in the cup holders
*Uncomfortable seats - the seats are OK, but a little hard for my taste.
Kia made a great electric car with the EV6, but should have finished the car off with a touch more quality, especially at the price point. The care is SO close to being great.
