There’s no shortage of reasons to love the 2025 Kia EV6, one of the most compelling electric crossovers on the market. From a longer range to a handful of thoughtful, real-world upgrades, let’s zero in on the details that make this EV easier to live with.
1. 800-Volt Architecture
Most EVs run on 400-volt systems, which are fine for overnight charges but start to feel slow at public charges. A better system, one that allows the battery to take in more juice more quickly, makes a big difference. Fortunately, that’s what you get with every Kia EV6, thanks to its 800-volt architecture. Kia estimates that this setup can take the battery from 10% to 80% in under 18 minutes when using a 350-kWh fast charger.
To make things convenient, Kia has moved the charge port (except on the GT Models) to the left rear fender. The 2025 EV6 now supports the North American Charging Standards (NACS), meaning it can tap into Tesla’s Supercharger network.
2. Telluride Room
It won’t take more than one search on any search engine to know that the Telluride reigns supreme among three-row SUVs. So, what does this have to do with the two-row EV6? One word: wheelbase, i.e., the distance between the front and rear wheels. Both the Telluride and the EV6 share a 114.2-inch wheelbase, which gives the smaller EV6 a serious advantage when it comes to cabin space.
3. Bigger Battery Pack
More range is always a win, and that’s why the EV6’s newly available 84 kWh battery pack is such a big deal. Standard on every trim except the base one, it pushes the range to an estimated 319 miles with rear-wheel drive and 295 miles with all-wheel drive. That’s a boost of 9 and 13 miles, respectively, over the previous year’s 77.4 kWh setup.
Keep in mind that the performance-oriented models (the GT-Line with AWD and the GT) trade some of the extra range for more power.
4. Cargo-Carrying and Towing Capability
The EV6 is eager to prove it’s more than just a good-looking ride. On the practicality front, it offers 28 cubic feet of space behind the second row. Got a bigger haul? Fold down those rear seats to unlock 54 cubic feet. And don’t forget the frunk for those smaller items you want out of the way. With a maximum towing capacity of 2700 pounds, this electric crossover doesn’t shy away from a little extra work.
5. Purposeful Tech
Kia, as always, has nailed the tech side of things. They’ve updated the dual 12.3-inch screens, made wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay standard, and redesigned the wireless charging pad. A fingerprint authentication system is now on the menu, too.
