Forget what you’ve been told about electric cars. Slow. Overpriced. Complicated. Maybe that was true a decade ago. But the 2025 Kia EV6 flips that script. It offers real-world practicality with performance and convenience that make sense today.

Real Pricing, Real Savings

Starting at $42,900, the EV6 Light trim offers a compelling entry point into the EV market. For those looking for extended range and additional features, the Light Long Range RWD is priced at $46,200, while the high-performance GT model tops the lineup at $63,800.

But here’s the part too many people overlook: qualifying trims of the 2025 Kia EV6 are eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act. That’s not a rebate. It’s real money off your tax bill. And it applies to EV6 models assembled in Georgia, which includes every trim except the GT.

As long as a buyer meets the income limits and the vehicle stays under the MSRP cap, the EV6 qualifies.

These prices position the EV6 as a competitive option against traditional gas-powered vehicles, especially when considering potential savings on fuel and maintenance.

Range That Goes the Distance

Worried about range? The 2025 EV6 Light Long Range RWD delivers an estimated 319 miles on a full charge, thanks to its 84.0 kWh battery. That’s more than enough for most daily commutes and weekend plans without the constant need to stop and recharge.

Drivers looking for extra traction or planning to tackle changing road conditions can opt for the all-wheel drive models, which provide stronger grip and greater confidence behind the wheel.

Rapid Charging for the Real World

Time is money, and the EV6 respects both. Thanks to its 800V ultra-fast charging system, the EV6 can add over 200 miles of range in approximately 15 minutes. The charging port has been thoughtfully relocated to the left rear fender for easier access, and with the adoption of the North American Charging Standard (NACS), compatibility with a broader range of charging stations is ensured.

Real Performance. Real Fun.

This EV6 isn’t trying to be flashy. It doesn’t need to. The GT model comes standard with 601 horsepower (yes, you read that right), and it climbs to 641 hp in GT mode. You get visuals, fake engine sounds, and even a virtual gear shift with simulated torque response.

Quick. Responsive. Unapologetic.

You can go from a stoplight to 60 mph in about three seconds. And yes, that’ll wipe the grin off your gas-loving buddy’s face.

Comfort That Stays Current

Step inside, and things are clean, clear, and connected. The twin 12.3-inch displays span the dash. They’re easy to use, sharp to look at, and loaded with features. The latest Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) supports over-the-air updates, streaming, games, and even a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.

Optional driver assistance tech, like Blind-Spot View Monitor and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Reverse, is available on Long Range trims. All while automatic pop-out door handles keep the exterior streamlined.

Built for You. Built in the U.S.A.

The 2025 Kia EV6, with the exception of the GT, is assembled in West Point, Georgia. It is built here, not shipped from thousands of miles away, and that matters, for jobs, for quality, and for qualifying under the federal tax credit rules that support American-made vehicles.

That alone could mean up to $7,500 back in your pocket. A benefit for your budget. A win for domestic manufacturing.

Kia America describes the EV6 as “a vehicle that’s been refined inside and out to meet the real-world expectations of today’s EV driver.” In plain terms, they listened. They paid attention to what matters on the road, not just in a design studio.

The 2025 EV6 combines performance, value, and practicality without cutting corners. It delivers what most drivers actually want, and that is speed when you need it, comfort every day, and lower running costs over time. For those who’ve been waiting for an electric car that simply makes sense, the EV6 is ready.
