The GT model is getting the biggest price hike of the bunch, going from $61,600 to $63,800, an increase of $2,200. And the GT-Line AWD is $1,300 more expensive than in 2024. Not included are the $1,475 destination fees for each model, which is an $80 increase over the previous year.

The auto industry is currently scrambling to figure out what changes to make to weather the Trump administration’s unpredictable tariffs, though Kia hasn’t said whether these increases are a response to the recent policy changes. The new EV6 models (except the GT version) are now being assembled in the US at Kia’s plant in West Point, Georgia, alongside the EV9.

The 2025 Kia EV6 adds new geometry to the front “Star Map” grille styling and includes daytime running light lines shaped like a scribbly triangle, replacing the original winky-faced ones. The EV6 lights really fit with the styling of the EV9 and EV3, the latter of which just won another Red Dot design award for Kia.

The new EV6 also has larger battery packs: from 58- to 63 kWh for the standard, and from 77.4- to 84 kWh on the long range. Kia says the bigger one goes 319 miles with RWD models, although that’s not an official EPA estimate. Comparatively, the 2024 EV6 RWD Light Long Range has an EPA estimated range of 310 miles per charge.
