kia debuts the revised 2025 ev6 for the uk market

Kia released the EV6 a few years ago as its first dedicated EV and teased an update for the 2025 model year. We’re now getting a good look at the refreshed crossover, which gets revised exterior styling, new lighting elements, and a spruced-up interior.

Kia debuted the new EV6 for the UK market, so it’s important to point out that some specs and configurations could change when it arrives here. That said, the styling changes have made the vehicle look even more futuristic than it did before. It got a new LED light bar, fresh wheel designs, and reshaped bumpers. Inside, Kia added LED ambient lighting and a new steering wheel, and interior materials vary between trims.

The automaker also fitted its new batteries, with the new EV6 getting up to an 84-kWh capacity. That’s almost seven kWh more than previous estimates, giving the EV a range of up to 361 miles on the WLTP cycle in its most efficient form. Fast-charging capabilities are standard, with the vehicle able to add 213 miles of range in 15 minutes at its peak 258 kW charging speed. It can also fast charge from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes.

Kia is selling the new EV6 in the UK, with pricing starting at around $60,000 after VAT. The vehicle should appear in the United States by the end of 2024 with a slight price bump over its current $42,600 baseline MSRP.

I have an EV6 First Edition, which I like quite a bit. The extra battery capacity is always welcome, but the styling changes leave me cold. The front headlights are just weird, and they didn't fix the biggest issue with the car, which is the #@$%&! combination A/C and media controls on a single strip on the center console. Whoever came up with that design should be thrown into the same dungeon as the guys who bollixed up VW's user interfaces a couple of years ago.

Excellent eATPs as to be expected with all Kia products.

SilverHawk During the time of the annual model year changes, Motor Trend would do a Preview edition that included actual pencil drawings of new grills and taillights, along with whatever spy photos they had. Those pencil drawings were supplied by the manufacturers. At the time, I had friends at AMC and Ford who made these drawings available to MT.

1995 SC I think it's different now and the manufacturers just sort of leak them to the desired automotive "influencers" but it is still interesting with some cars. The C8 was a good example because it was such a radical change.
ECurmudgeon One wonders why they didn't just go with a fleet of RHD Ford Transits, but the answer is, of course, "money."
