2025 Kia EV6

The EV6 is Kia's first car designed from the outset to be fully electric. It could be considered a five-door hatchback car or a lower-slung SUV. EPA-estimated driving ranges are 310 miles for the rear-drive, long-range-battery model and 274 miles for the all-wheel-drive version. The base rear-drive model has a smaller battery, less horsepower, and only a 232-mile range. Recharging can be done quickly at public DC fast-chargers thanks to its 235-kW acceptance rate. Starting with roughly half a full charge, we observed it can take in 60 miles of range in 10 minutes on the Electrify America network. The EV6 is taut and agile and the ride is steady and comfortable. It glides silently down the road and accelerates briskly. Rear and side visibility are restricted, and the car is saddled with annoying split-use climate/audio controls. Standard active safety and driver assist features include FCW, AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, BSW, RCTW, reverse automatic emergency braking, LCA, LDW, LKA, ACC, and automatic high beams. The EV6 received a refresh for 2025 that included exterior styling updates, a standard 12.3-inch infotainment display with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability, as well as increased battery capacity. Kia claims the 84 kWh battery on rear-wheel drive configurations should provide up to 319 miles of range. Additional updates included a rear belt minder and advanced seat belts in the rear outboard seats.

Brand context

About Kia

For almost any modern vehicle category, there’s a Kia that’s worth considering buying. Among small and midsized SUVs, models like the Sportage and Sorento rank near the top in their respective classes for their nice interiors, ride comfort, and appropriately powerful engines. SUVs like the Telluride have ride comfort, interior space, and overall value that earn it regular placement near the top of Consumer Reports’ ratings. Fuel economy across the brand is generally good, but hybrid and plug-in hybrid options are available for even more miles per gallon. Plug-in hybrid options have useful all-electric driving range. Kia EVs are generally competent, ranging from compact sedans up to a three-row SUV. Kia’s reliability scores have been improving, but other brands score higher in our rankings. Specific Kia models have earned our recommendation among used cars.
