The 2025 Kia EV6: an Electrifying Performance Crossover

Over the next four years, South Korean automaker Kia plans to offer more than a dozen electric vehicles for the United States, and the EV6 crossover SUV is a major step in this regard. The Kia EV6 was praised by Auto Trader New Car Awards for its practicality, technology, and driving experience, winning awards for "Best Car for Families" in 2024. The Kia EV6 is also the proud recipient of the 2023 World Performance Car Award, and it is making history as the first crossover to earn this distinction.

Kia EV6 Performance

We have to start with the mighty EV6 powertrain, which, depending on the trim and configuration, can generate up to 576 horsepower. This kind of power is normally associated with muscle cars, but Kia engineers have managed to design a crossover that performs to this high level. Electric vehicles like the EV6 can easily surpass internal combustion engines' performance, but the new Kia EV6 takes things to another level. The EV6 can drive up to 310 miles before needing to charge, and San Leandro, CA drivers can charge it from 10 percent to 80 percent in less than 20 minutes when plugged into a DC Fast Charging station.

Kia EV6 Trim Levels

The current EV6 generation consists of seven trims:

• Light: This is the base rear-wheel drive model. Wind: If you are into luxury upgrades, this is a good trim package to consider.
• Wind AWD: This trim package features a dual electric motor powertrain.
• GT-Line: If you are into race aesthetics, you're sure to find the EV6 GT-Line an enticing option.
• GT-Line AWD: You can improve your experience with this all-terrain and all-weather trim level.
• Limited Edition: As its name indicates, this trim commemorates the EV6 debut, and it provides Marin County, CA drivers with a variety of premium amenities.
• GT: If you are into serious performance, the EV6 GT is practically a supercar disguised as a crossover SUV.

Kia EV6 Style and Comfort

The sleek and modern exterior design of the new Kia EV6 is understated and unassuming. In general, the EV6 looks like an elegant midsize SUV. The GT-Line and GT trims have black accents, larger alloy wheels and a few other sporty details, but you'd never think that this four-door crossover can go from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 3.5 seconds.

You and up to four adult passengers can enjoy the cabin of the EV6 and its numerous features, which include premium upholstery, 50.6 cubic feet of rear cargo space, a power generator, ambient lighting and storage compartments. The amplified Meridian audio system comes with 14 speakers and a subwoofer, providing you with an incredible listening experience as you travel through Vallejo, CA.

Technology and Advanced Safety Features

All Kia models are loaded with advanced technology packages, and the new EV6 is no exception. The cockpit provides a nice balance of performance and tech features such as bucket seats, a steering wheel with tactile controls and a 12.3-inch touchscreen gives Walnut Creek, CA drivers access to the Kia Connect infotainment system. A dual-screen setup serves as your instrument cluster, and additional trim options include a heads-up display on the windshield that provides augmented reality functionality. You can also configure the Kia Connect app for remote ignition, locking and even parking.

With the Kia Drive Wise suite of smart driver-assist features, your EV6 gets constant monitoring of road hazards such as cars, pedestrians and obstacles.
