The 2025 Kia EV6, unveiled at the LA Auto Show, features design, tech, and performance upgrades ahead of its India launch.
The much-anticipated Kia EV6 is now out for the 2025 model. The carmakers have not let their fans down. It has received splendid upgrades in design, power, and amenities. Since the EV6 is Kia’s first electric car, it has been revised to meet the changing dynamics of the market. The latest addition is expected to launch in India soon. The manufacturer has filed a design patent for the vehicle there. The company will surely make a mark in the electric vehicle segment.
Design Enhancements
The 2025 EV6 has over 30 changes and the biggest is in the front dimensions. Typically, lighting has been replaced with clear LED daytime running lights and headlights from the EV3 and EV4 concepts. The front fascia has received a thorough makeover with changes to the bumper and lower grille, leaving it with a neater, more aggressive look. This plan keeps the previous model’s identity. But, the new black and silver wheels, and the 19- and 20-inch rims, add some sophistication. Despite this, the rear also retains the uniqueness of the single LED light bar that runs down the width of the vehicle.
Interior Upgrades
Visitors can see that the 2025 Kia EV6’s interior has improved. These changes aim to enhance the client’s experience. The design is a new, curved, panoramic display. It unifies the digital instrument cluster with the infotainment touchscreen. Kia has tweaked the two-spoke steering wheel. It added a start/stop button that uses a fingerprint scan for registered drivers. So, there is no need for a key. Also, compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto boosts convenience for today’s users.
Performance Specifications
Caption under the bonnet of the modified Kia EV6 is Hyundai Motor Group’s new 84 kWh battery, which replaces the previous 77.4 kWh battery. This upgrade boosts the rear-wheel-drive model’s range to 494 km in Korea, up from 475 km. The new battery has 350 kW DC fast charging capability and takes only 18 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%.
Rear-wheel drive models have 225 bhp and 350 Nm torque. For more power, dual motors provide 320 bhp and 605 Nm torque. Furthermore, there are some new features in the bare bones of the Kia EV6. The company has fine-tuned the damper for better ride comfort, lower motor noise, and safety.
Market Positioning
With these updates, Kia is planning to make the EV6 one of the prospective players in the Indian electric car market. It will be released in Q1 FY 25, based on the Indian financial year starting in April, with an estimated starting price of INR 63 lakhs. It will compete with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, BYD Seal, and Volvo XC40 Recharge.
The changes incorporated into the 2025 Kia EV6 are a testimony to Kia’s effort to embrace innovation in the electric vehicle sector. Kia’s goal is to attract consumers as it enters the Indian EV market. The exterminator’s concept, with its bold design, used advanced tech for better performance.
