Kia EV6 2025 Review: New Look, Bigger Battery, Better Ride

The Kia EV6 has stood out in the electric vehicle segment because of its audacious styling, spirited performance, and top-end technology. Now, with this facelift, Kia fosters further respect for an already extremely capable model. The 2025 EV6 facelift charms with more elegant lines, a truly world-class range, and subtle but major improvements that send a message: Kia is still seriously committed to electric mobility.

Aggressive and Premium Styling


The exterior of the EV6 has been made aggressive and premium in design language. The front end gets a major facelift, resulting in a sleeker grille that flows into headlights, now redesigned for great looks with new LED signatures. The “Star Map” lights enhance the car’s futuristic look, resonating with Kia’s EV design language seen on cars such as the EV9.

Down below, the rear has also gotten some touches with redesigned taillights and a more sculpted bumper. The new alloys and now, more vibrant exterior colors, add to the new sporty outfit for the EV6 yet not compromising on aerodynamic credibility.

A Boost in Interior Comfort and Technology


Climb aboard the facelifted EV6, and this baby Luxo-batch welcomes you with upgraded materials and a tech forward cabin. The main feature of this facelift is the panoramic curved display. This is supported by a bigger touchscreen with a higher resolution and quicker response. Upgrades to the software have also provided a more intuitive infotainment system equipped with OTA updates and better connectivity options.

The climate controls are still kept split behind a dedicated touch panel, avoiding the drawback of fully digital interfaces. The material across the cabin feels more upscale, and there are more soft-touch surfaces and ambient lighting customization options that also aid the premium feel.

Performance is Still Zippy but Better With Efficiency

There are no dramatic changes made in the power trains available to the EV6, but they were optimized more for efficiency than anything else. Standard rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive setups continue to serve punchy acceleration that garnered EV6 so much fame among enthusiasts. The better range is, however, where everything is at.

Being equipped with an energy-denser 84kWh battery (up from 77.4 kWh), the 2025 facelift EV6 is estimated to go 323 to 345 miles on a single charge, depending on trims and drivetrain. This is around 10 to 15 percent better in range, which makes EV6 far competitive than rivals such as the Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Charging Still Pretty Much the Fastest


One of the EV6’s defining features-800V architecture-stays intact in the facelift, and that is the best thing. Such a setup offers ultra-fast DC charging that can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes, given optimal conditions. It also allows efficient battery pre-conditioning in a cold climate, enhancing charging effectiveness and protection of long-term battery health in the process.

Enhances Safety and Driving Aids


The facelift brings along the newest iteration of Kia’s Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot view monitor, and highway driving assist, with upgraded cameras and new software logic to make these aids smoother and less distracting. Apart from that, there’s an improved surround-view monitor while selected models go for a digital rear view mirror for better visibility.

Pricing and Trims


The pricing will vary from one market to another. A slight premium is expected for the new EV6 over the outgoing one, thanks to the new battery and enhanced tech suite. Kia, though, would want to retain its logo of value, with even the base model scoring pretty high with its features and performance.
