Kia is preparing to launch the new and improved EV6 in the US. Ahead of its official debut, Kia’s updated 2025 EV6 was spotted with sleek new design upgrades on US streets.
Here’s a look at Kia’s upgraded 2025 EV6 in the US
Launched in 2021, the EV6 is Kia’s first dedicated EV to ride on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, the same one underpinning the IONIQ 5. Kia’s EV6 went on sale in the US in early 2022.
Although the electric crossover was praised for its bold design and long-range capabilities, the EV6 has lost ground as new models hit the market.
EV6 sales fell by double-digits in the US for the third consecutive month in September. Despite this, sales are still up 8% year-to-date.
Kia hopes a slick new design, faster charging, and more range will help attract buyers. We got our first look at the new EV6 in May after Kia launched it in Korea. Last month, Kia’s updated EV6 was introduced in Europe.
One of the most significant changes is to the design. You will immediately notice Kia’s signature LED daytime running light design, which is also shown on newer models like the EV9 and EV3.
A bigger 84 kWh battery, up from 77.4 kWh, enables up to 307 miles (494 km) driving range in Korea. That’s up from 295 miles (475 km) in the previous generation. In Europe, the new EV6 gets up to 361 (582 km) WLTP driving range.
Next in line for the upgraded model is the US. Kia’s updated EV6 was recently spotted testing in the US. The new video from KindelAuto gives us a sneak peek at the new EV design.
Despite the camouflage, the new headlight design is clearly visible. It’s an immediate upgrade over the current model.
Kia also updated the front and rear end design for a sleeker, sportier look. The new EV6 is expected to officially launch in North America by the end of the year. Official pricing and specs will be announced closer to launch.
With the EV6 refresh already rolling out in global markets, the upgraded high-performance GT model was spotted earlier this month with a sporty new design (you can see the video here).
The current 2024 Kia EV6 starts at $42,600 and gets up to 232 miles range. For $45,950, the Light Long Range trim offers up to 310 miles range.
