Kia’s 2025 EV6 refresh bets on style and substance over lower prices

Kia just dropped pricing and details for the refreshed 2025 EV6, and on paper, it checks a lot of boxes—sharper looks, more range, better tech, and U.S. assembly for most trims.

By the numbers: Kia’s new EV6 starts at $42,900 and climbs to $63,800 if you want all the bells, whistles, and horsepower.

So, what’s new?

Under the hood: The updates go beyond aesthetics. Kia’s added:

• A larger battery offering up to 319 miles of range (RWD)

• Faster, easier charging with NACS compatibility

• And a relocated charging port for better station access

On the outside: Expect redesigned front and rear ends, new lighting with Kia’s “Star Map” signature, sharper body lines, and fresh wheel designs.

Inside: Upgrades include dual 12.3-inch displays and Kia’s next-gen ccNC infotainment system, complete with OTA updates, streaming, gaming, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

For the performance crowd: The EV6 GT packs 601 horsepower (hp), with up to 641 hp in GT mode. Plus, a "Virtual Gear Shift" for added driving theatrics.

Oh—and most trims are now assembled in Georgia. The GT still ships in, but the rest? All-American made.

Here’s what that looks like in real time:

• Tesla is still cutting prices.

• Chevy’s pushing Bolts below $25,000.

• And used EVs are flooding the market with tax credits and sub-$30,000 deals.

Digging deeper: In a landscape like this, every dollar counts—and a $42,000+ EV has to do more than just look good, it has to feel worth it. 

• Kia knows that, which is why it’s not trying to outprice Tesla or GM—it’s betting buyers will pay for style and substance.

Bottom line: Kia’s playing the long game—banking on design, tech, and U.S. production to stand out in a market chasing discounts.
