Kia Announces Pricing For Refreshed 2025 EV6

Thanks to its generous standard equipment, excellent range, incredible DC fast charging performance, and handsome good looks, the Kia EV6 hatchback is one of the best electric vehicles you can purchase in the U.S. today, the car is a real gem. And if you’re interested in grabbing one of these EVs, the automaker just announced some new pricing for the refreshed 2025 model, which benefits from a surprising number of changes.

Modest Increases For 2025

As for pricing, arguably the most important topic, the entry-level Light model kicks off at $44,375, the midrange Wind rear-wheel-drive trim can be yours for $51,775, and the top-shelf, go-fast GT variant should check out at $65,275 before any optional goodies. All these prices include $1,475 in destination fees.

Naturally, those figures have grown from the 2024 model year (What doesn’t get pricier every year?), but the increases are modest and vary based on trim level. The base Light model should be $380 richer than before, the higher-end all-wheel-drive Wind trim increased by $1,780, and the GT model’s price jumped $2,280.

Some Nice Upgrades For 2025

Aside from adjusting this vehicle’s prices, Kia made some other changes as well. “Significantly refreshed for the new model year,” the automaker noted in a media release, “the 2025 EV6 boasts updates to its front and rear design, elevated interior refinement, and thoughtfully repackaged trim levels that introduce a host of newly standard features and amenities.” Here’s what all that means.

This EV gains Kia’s signature Star Map lighting motif that helps the front-end sparkle at night. Like a pair of pleated khakis, the front bumpers have been updated with stronger creases, and the hood gains some additional character lines. At the rear, the updated EV6 gains taillamps with a 3D appearance and elements that mirror the Star Map lighting found at the vehicle’s prow. The vehicle’s body is gussied up with new cladding that is more distinct for a planted stance, and new wheel designs are on the menu.

Mechanically, Kia is installing a larger 63-kilowatt-hour battery pack in the entry-level Light trim, up from 58 kWh last year. Other trim levels also benefit from a larger energy reservoir, one that clocks in at 84 kWh, a healthy increase from the 77.4-kWh pack offered in previous model years. That battery should provide the EV6 with up to 319 miles of estimated range. Engineers also threw in a North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug for Tesla Supercharger compatibility, and the charging port has been relocated to the left rear fender (except, apparently on the high-performance GT model).

Aside from the increased price, there’s still plenty to love about the 2025 Kia EV6. Thanks to additional improvements, this all-electric hatchback should be better than ever.
