Launched globally in May 2024, the facelifted Kia EV6 marks a bold evolution of Kia’s first dedicated electric vehicle, transitioning into the 2025 model with a host of design, tech, and performance upgrades . At its heart lies an upgraded 84 kWh battery, replacing the old 77.4 kWh pack, paired with Kia’s cutting-edge 800 V E‑GMP architecture, enabling rapid charging—bringing the battery from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes on a 350 kW charger .
Buyers can choose between two powertrain options: the RWD long‑range variant with a single motor delivering 225 hp and 350 Nm, offering up to 494 km on a full charge; or the spirited AWD GT‑Line, boasting dual motors producing 325 hp and 605 Nm, accelerating from 0–100 km/h in a brisk 5.2 seconds with a real-world range of around 650 km WLTP . An upcoming high-performance GT variant is expected to push power north of 576 hp for supercar-like acceleration .
On the outside, the facelift enhances the EV6’s sleek coupe-inspired stance with refreshed triangular LED DRLs, a revised lower grille, sharper front bumpers, new 19–21″ alloy designs, and blacked-out side cladding on GT-Line trims . Inside, the minimalist, curved twin 12.3″ display now integrates a host of driver amenities: fingerprint authentication, augmented‑reality navigation, digital rearview mirror, head‑up display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and elegant ambient lighting—all underpinned by Kia Connect 2.0’s OTA update capabilities .
Driver confidence and safety are ensured through Level 2 ADAS, including adaptive cruise with lane-centering, forward/rear/side collision avoidance, blind-spot and reverse parking assist, backed by a multi-airbag system (10 globally, 8 in India) and 360° camera support .
Practicality remains a strong suit: the EV6’s 4,695 mm length, 2,900 mm wheelbase, 520 L boot, and 58 L frunk (in RWD variants) make it a capable daily partner . Enhanced ride comfort comes from retuned steering, refined suspension, and improved soundproofing—ideal for long journeys .
In India, the updated GT‑Line AWD was unveiled in March 2025 at ₹65.9 lakh ex-showroom, representing Kia’s highest-value EV yet . From city drives to cross-country touring, the 2025 Kia EV6 blends style, swift charging, intelligent tech, and eco-friendly innovation—setting an exciting benchmark in electric mobility.
