Built on the new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the Kia EV6, alongside the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are the first examples of a bevy of new Hyundai and Kia BEVs that will launch over the next few years. Kia has conceived its first E-GMP-based model as a crossover. A single 84 kWh power pack powers all models. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive delivered via dual motor setup. No range data is available for the all-wheel drive car. Kia notes that the EV6 can be charged using an 800 volt charger, a technology not generally available in Canada. Unlike the retro-inspired Ioniq 5, the EV6 is clean, uncluttered and arrestingly modern. The EV6 is marginally shorter overall than the Ioniq 5.

Like the related Hyundai Ioniq 5, the EV6 is quick and quiet. The ride of the EV6 is firm, firmer than the related Hyundai Ioniq 5 but compensates with crisper handling. There are several regenerative brake modes, including one allowing one pedal driving.

As of early 2025. there were no pricing or trimwalk data for the late-entry 2025 EV6.

Not rated, insufficient data. Few complaints have been received regarding this fearsomely complex car. The integrated charging control unit (ICCU) could become damaged and fail to charge the 12 volt battery, which can immobilize the car. Kia will update vehicle software in an attempt to eliminate the issue.
