Building on the success of its predecessor, the 2025 model introduces enhancements in battery capacity and interior features, catering to the evolving needs of EV drivers who do not want to compromise.
The 2025 Kia EV6 features the distinct design that has characterized the EV6 since it arrived on the market four years ago, including a dynamic front end and LED headlights featuring Kia's distinctive “Star Map” lighting signature. This design language not only enhances visibility but adds a modern, futuristic touch to the vehicle's exterior, setting it apart in the electric crossover segment. At the rear, a full-width LED light bar contributes to increased visibility and gives the EV6 a bold, distinctive presence on the road. These lighting updates, combined with sculpted lines and a clean aesthetic, reflect Kia's commitment to a forward-thinking design that blends style with functionality.
Beyond aesthetics, the EV6 is engineered for efficiency with a streamlined silhouette that maintains a low drag coefficient of 0.28, maximizing range while minimizing energy consumption. The crossover is offered with newly designed 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels, depending on the trim, which lend a sporty stance to the vehicle, emphasizing its dynamic profile. Attention to aerodynamics also includes a redesigned rear spoiler and underbody panels that contribute to the vehicle’s efficiency, especially at higher speeds, ensuring the EV6 not only looks sleek but is optimized for energy efficiency on every journey.
Inside, the EV6's cabin is spacious and meticulously designed with high-quality materials and an emphasis on comfort and technology.

This seamless integration provides a user-friendly experience, with all essential controls within easy reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, keeping passengers connected without the hassle of cables. A unique two-spoke steering wheel, featuring an off-center Kia logo, adds to the cabin’s futuristic look, underscoring the EV6’s modern appeal.
Adding to its tech-forward cabin, the EV6 includes a fingerprint reader for driver authentication, enhancing security and convenience. The thoughtful layout of the interior offers 990 mm of rear legroom, ensuring comfort for all passengers.

With details like ambient lighting and premium finishes, the EV6 interior is crafted to deliver a comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment that makes every journey enjoyable.
The EV6 comes packed with advanced technology aimed at maximizing convenience, connectivity, and safety. At the heart of the infotainment experience is Kia’s Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (CCNC) software, delivering improved graphics, intuitive navigation, and a streamlined user interface. The dual 12.3-inch screens dominate the dashboard, providing essential driving information and media controls within easy reach. The EV6 is equipped with over-the-air (OTA) software updates, which means the system remains current with the latest features and improvements, enhancing the vehicle’s longevity and adaptability.
Further elevating the EV6's technology offering is an augmented reality (AR) head-up display that projects critical driving information onto the windshield, allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road. The vehicle also includes a digital rearview mirror for unobstructed visibility, even when the back seats are occupied or the cargo area is full. Advanced safety features such as forward collision avoidance, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control come standard, while an updated remote smart parking assist allows for easy maneuvering in tight spaces. With 10 airbags, including dual second-row side airbags, the EV6 ensures comprehensive protection, making it one of the safest and most tech-savvy options in its segment.
