Get ready for an exciting update! Kia's EV6 is back with a bang, offering an impressive package of enhancements while keeping the price increase to a minimum. A small price for a big upgrade, right?
Kia has unveiled a mere $70 price hike across its refreshed EV6 lineup, which boasts a larger battery, refined design, and enhanced connectivity features. All models now feature an 84 kWh battery, an upgrade from the previous 77.4 kWh, resulting in an extended WLTP driving range of up to 54 km for the entry-level EV6 Air RWD and 26 km for the top-spec GT AWD.
But here's where it gets interesting...
The EV6's design has received subtle yet impactful updates, aligning it with Kia's EV family while retaining its sporty identity. New headlights, DRLs, and three-dimensional taillights showcase Kia's signature Star Map design, giving the car a wider and more dynamic presence on the road.
Inside, the EV6 showcases a fresh look with a new 3-spoke steering wheel inspired by the EV9. The center console boasts a sleek finish and fingerprint recognition technology on GT-Line and GT variants. The dual 12.3-inch screens maintain the driver-oriented layout, but with upgraded technology and Kia's ccNC software, offering enhanced graphics and improved functionality.
And this is the part most people miss...
The infotainment system now includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a significant upgrade from the wired versions. Kia Connect adds remote vehicle control, allowing you to adjust climate settings and locate your car with ease. Plus, over-the-air software updates ensure your EV6 stays up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
The EV6 GT's suspension and handling have been refined with stiffer rear sway bars and softer front springs. Kia Australia has retuned the suspension and steering, resulting in a more natural feel and improved grip across all drive modes.
These enhancements position the EV6 alongside Kia's newer EVs, offering improved range, design, and connectivity without a significant price jump. The updated EV6 will soon be available at Kia dealerships across Australia.
With its impressive upgrades, the EV6 is a testament to Kia's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. But what do you think? Is the EV6's minimal price increase worth the extensive upgrades? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
