New Kia EV6

Three short motoring years ago, we crowned the KIA EV6 as our Continental Tyres 
Irish Car of the Yea. A worthy winner, it impressed Irelands the jurors from the 
Motor Media Association in all the key areas of adjudication, the resultant 3,000 
sales consolidating that decision. 
As with many of the manufacturers, KIA have now given the EV6 a mid-life upgrade, 
a facelift by another name, the first models now landed in Ireland for public 
consumption. 
This 2025 EV6 sits on KIA’s E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform) and is 
powered by a new 84kWh fourth-generation battery which is 8.5% bigger than the 
previous generation, now giving the EV6 an extended range of up to 582km.  
 
The new EV6 now incorporates sleek daytime running lights (DRLs) featuring Kia’s 
Star Map lighting signature for a futuristic and sporty look. The overall aesthetics are 
further enhanced by the flowing character line that seamlessly connects the hood to 
the lower section of the vehicle, as well as the captivating wing-shaped bumper 
design, which adds an additional element of dynamism. At the rear, the combination 
lamps are enhanced with Star Map lighting technology, visually amplifying the 
vehicle's sense of width and appearance. In terms of colours, Wolf Grey metallic is 
now also available on EV6 which is a popular choice for other models in the Kia 
range.  
 
On the inside, the new EV6's interior features sleek design elements, the panoramic 
curved display contributing to a spacious feel. The new ambient lighting accentuates 
the horizontal shaping of the updated interior for an enhanced feel. The EV6 also 
introduces a new steering wheel and dash pad design while the wireless phone 
charging pad now charges at 15W for quicker charging and features wireless Android 
Auto/Apple CarPlay as standard.  
 
In terms of technology, Kia has equipped the new EV6 with a new fourth-generation 
battery. Thanks to its higher energy density, the capacity has increased from 
77.4kWh to 84kWh. This, in turn, translates into a higher range, with the vehicle now 
capable of up to 582km (WLTP) on a single charge. 
With the cutting-edge 800V technology and a peak charging performance of 260kW 
(+9% compared to previous EV6), the battery can be recharged from 10-80 percent 
in 18 minutes and customers can gain up to 343 km in just 15 minutes. For the same 
time spent charging, the new EV6’s larger battery adds more range, which will 
undoubtedly please customers. 
 
This 2025 EV6 also features Kia’s next-generation infotainment system and 
connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), with expanded OTA software updates and 
upgrades.
