How we test cars

The Kia EV6 is an electric car that its maker claims can charge faster than a Tesla, travel further than a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and, if you choose the right version, even out-accelerate a Porsche Taycan 4S.

Those claims should be taken seriously because Kia has a good reputation when it comes to building electric cars. You see, the Kia e-Niro became the first electric car to win our overall Car of the Year award. Then, in 2022, the EV6 itself went on to win the same accolade.

Since then, the EV6 has undergone a facelift and has, on paper, become even better. That’s because on top of some styling tweaks it's been fitted with an even bigger battery for a longer range, plus it has different battery chemistry for faster charging.

Kia EV6 video review

The thing is, though, the competition has come on leaps and bounds since the EV6 was named our Car of the Year. So is the facelift enough to make sure it keeps up with the best electric SUV rivals, including the Cupra Tavascan, Genesis GV60, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Smart #5, and Tesla Model Y? Let’s find out…

Verdict

The Kia EV6 is a brilliant electric car with a competitive range and the ability to charge up very quickly. It’s also huge in the back and good to drive. The cheaper rear-wheel drive versions make more financial sense than the faster all-wheel drive models, and we think entry-level Air trim offers the best value.

What's new?

• September 2026: review updated following a drive of the EV6 AWD GT-Line
• September 2024: facelift brings bigger 84kWh battery and faster charging speeds

Trims available

GT-Line

The mid-level GT-Line trim gives the EV6 some slightly sportier styling touches, along with an electrically adjustable driver’s seat (which can, along with the front passenger seat, recline almost completely flat), privacy glass and wireless phone-charging. It also gives you access to the all-wheel drive version.

GT-Line S

The GT Line-S gets lots of equipment as standard, including door handles which pop out electrically, an opening sunroof, seats which cool as well as heat, an electrically opening bootlid, head-up display and a 14-speaker Meridian audio system.

Air

Entry-level Air trim covers the bases many drivers will want, and it’s our favourite trim. Highlights include 19in alloy wheels, automatic wipers and LED headlights, heated front seats and steering wheel, Vehicle-to-Load capability, a rear parking camera and cruise control.

Performance & drive

What it's like to drive, and how quiet it is

Strengths

• Refined on 19in alloy wheels
• Decent handling
• Long range

Weaknesses

• Firmer ride than some rivals

How fast is it and which motor is best?

There are two options when it comes to powering your EV6. The cheaper of the two, called RWD (rear-wheel drive) has a single electric motor producing 225bhp. Performance here is decent rather than dizzying. We managed to get from 0-60mph in 7.1sec in our tests – slower than an equivalent Cupra Tavascan or Ford Capri but still more than quick enough for everyday driving. A more gradual power delivery means it simply lacks the initial urgency those two rivals have when setting off from stationary.

advertisment

scroll for more

The pricier AWD version has four-wheel drive and a second electric motor powering the front wheels, increasing power to 320bhp and dropping the 0-62mph time to 5.3sec. That acceleration is similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD, but slightly behind the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD. Like the RWD EV6, this model builds power more gradually than it does in the Tesla. 

The extra motor does reduce the AWD's official range compared to the RWD, but at 339 miles (or 324 miles for GT-Line S models with the bigger alloys) it’s still very competitive against rivals – if not quite as far as the 373-mile Model Y.

 0-62mph****Top speedRWD7.7sec115AWD5.3sec116

Is it agile and is the ride comfortable?

Kia has intentionally sacrificed some cushioning over bumps to create a car that’s a bit more agile and fun to drive. The EV6's ride is far from uncomfortable though – in fact, some will prefer the more controlled, less floaty sensation to what you feel in the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

There are more comfortable electric SUVs out there for those with deeper pockets (such as the Genesis GV60), while the cheaper Skoda Enyaq offers a slightly more agreeable ride. However, the EV6 is far more comfortable than the rather fractious Tesla Model Y and much more settled than a Ford Capri or a Nissan Ariya.

The EV6 isn’t the sort of car you’ll leap out of bed on a Sunday morning to go for a drive in, but the same goes for most electric cars (the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Porsche Taycan are two particularly notable exceptions).

That doesn’t mean the EV6 handles badly though – far from it. It grips well through corners, especially with the four-wheel drive versions, and being slightly lower than most SUVs means it leans less than many rivals, including the Ioniq 5, the Ariya and the Volkswagen ID 4.

We’d like a little more of a sense of connection between the steering wheel and front wheels, but it’s plenty accurate enough and still allows you to position the car on the road with confidence.

Is it quiet and how easy is it to drive smoothly?

As an electric car, the EV6 has an obvious advantage over petrol and diesel alternatives because there’s no engine chugging away under the bonnet. However, the artificial noise generator, which operates below 20mph to warn pedestrians, seems particularly noticeable.

advertisment

scroll for more

The EV6’s brake-pedal response is better than many rivals at blending traditional and regenerative braking, with a sharp and linear response. Not only does it make driving in stop-start traffic less frustrating, but it helps build up confidence when driving down a country road. You can select the level of brake regeneration through steering-wheel-mounted paddles, including a mode that will bring the car to a complete stop.

True, the 20in wheels that come with top-of-the-range GT-Line S trim produce a noticeable amount of road noise, especially at motorway speeds. On 19in wheels – which are fitted to Air and GT-Line models – the EV6 is quieter than most rivals, including the Cupra Tavascan, Tesla Model Y and VW ID 4, but still not as calm as a Genesis GV60.

There’s the odd thump from the suspension, but overall, the EV6 is roughly on a par with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 for its ability to shut out unwanted noise and vibration. The Nissan Ariya is slightly more hushed, but if you really value peaceful cruising manners, consider the whisper-quiet Audi Q4 e-tron.

What’s the range and efficiency like, and how quickly can it charge?

Only the longest-distance drivers will be disappointed by the Kia EV6’s range. In an RWD model, we managed to achieve a real-world figure of 272 miles (with an efficiency figure of 3.4 miles/kWh) in winter. That’s about the same as a Cupra Tavascan RWD and around 20 miles less than a Ford Capri Extended Range tested on the same day. We’d expect you to achieve closer to 300 miles in the warmer summer months from its 80kWh (estimated usable capacity) battery.

During our time with an AWD model in the cool temperatures of late summer, we achieved 3.7 miles/kWh, which equates to a real-world range of around 296 miles. 

All versions of the EV6 have a maximum charging speed of up to 258kW, meaning it should be able to charge from 10-80% in just 18 mins. Super-fast public chargers can be quite hard to find though – you’re more likely to be charging at 50-100kW. At the lower end of that range, a 10-80% charge will take around 70 minutes. Like other electric cars, using a home charger to take the battery from flat to full is an overnight task – here, it’ll take around 11 hours.

With a 0-62mph time of 5.3sec, the all-wheel drive EV6 is quicker than some hot hatches. I found the sheer responsiveness of the electric motor particularly pleasing, so it’ll never leave you yearning for more performance on public roads.

Interior

The interior layout, fit and finish

Strengths

• Comfortable driving position
• Good interior quality

Weaknesses

• Infotainment can be hesitant
• Rear visibility could be better

What does the interior look like and is it well made?

You won't exactly be blown away by the EV6's interior, but remember that while it's certainly not cheap, it's not nearly as expensive as a BMW iX.

advertisment

scroll for more

With that in mind, it looks suitably upmarket inside, with plenty of rubberised surfaces and high-quality plastics, and everything feels well screwed together. The ‘leather’ upholstery on all trim levels is vegan rather than the real thing. The Genesis GV60 is far more plush and offers a full leather interior if you specify the pricey quilted Nappa on the options list.

Overall, the EV6 beats the closely related Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the fit and finish is better than in a Tesla Model Y, even if it's nothing special in this class.

Is the driving position comfortable and is it easy to see out?

Is the Kia EV6 a family SUV or just a regular hatchback? Well, it has a loftier driving position than the Tesla Model 3 saloon but you don't exactly tower over other road users as you would in a Range Rover. It’s comfortable nonetheless, with the EV6’s driver’s seat hugging you securely around your lower back.

In entry-level Air models, the driver's seat has power-adjustable lumbar support. You need to upgrade to mid-level GT-Line trim if you want to adjust other parts of the seat electrically and treat your passenger to lumbar adjustment.

The EV6's aggressively angled windscreen pillars can obscure your view out at junctions and roundabouts more than some rivals, but at least the relatively high driving position gives you a good view straight down the road.

The huge rear pillars and rising window line make over-the-shoulder visibility rather less impressive, but all models have front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera to help with parking. GT-Line S models are even easier to park, with a 360-degree bird’s eye view camera and a remote self-parking system.

It’s annoying that the rear window doesn’t have a wiper though, especially when you want to clear it quickly on damp winter mornings.

Are the dashboard and infotainment system easy to use?

Adjusting the interior temperature is easy thanks to a mix of physical dials and a touch-sensitive panel. You can also use said panel for infotainment shortcuts, changing the options at the touch of a button. We’d prefer fully physical controls, but this solution is much better than having to dive into the infotainment touchscreen as you do in the Skoda Enyaq and other rivals.

advertisment

scroll for more

All versions of the EV6 come with a curved 12.3in touchscreen positioned high up on the middle of the dashboard. It’s easy to see and relatively intuitive to operate, so it's not too distracting to use while you're driving.

There's sometimes a lengthy pause between pressing an icon and anything happening though – a problem that doesn't afflict the Tesla Model Y. Even so, the EV6 has a much better infotainment system overall than the one in the Volkswagen ID 4 and it has slicker graphics than the display in the Nissan Ariya.

All trims have wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring – although the system can be a little too keen to bump you on to those platforms – while GT-Line models and above get wireless phone-charging. The decent standard six-speaker stereo is replaced with a 14-speaker Meridian system in GT-Line S cars.

I found the EV6’s standard audio system decent enough, but it’s a shame that the only way to get the superb 14-speaker Meridian set-up is to go for range-topping GT-Line S trim. You can’t add it as an option on the lower trims.

Which smartphone integration should I have?

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fantastic – and free – technologies. Here we show you the benefits, drawbacks and best apps

Passenger & boot space

How it copes with people and clutter

Strengths

• Really spacious in the front
• Limo-like rear leg room

Weaknesses

• Boot could be bigger
• Awkward door handles on most versions

How much space does it have for people?

It can be hard to judge from photos, but the Kia EV6 is a deceptively large car, so it’s hardly surprising that there’s lots of space in the front. But to access it, you’ll have to negotiate the flush-fit door handles, which you need to simultaneously push one side and pull the other. It feels unnecessarily awkward, although they do pop out electrically on GT-Line S versions.

advertisment

scroll for more

You’d have to be incredibly tall to have any problem with leg room, and the wide interior adds to the sense of spaciousness. There's enough head room for six-footers, too, although the sunroof fitted to GT-Line S models does lower the height of the ceiling slightly, so it's best avoided if you're tall.

You won't struggle for places to put odds and ends. That’s thanks to a huge open storage area under the ‘floating’ centre console, a lidded cubby under the central armrest and a large glovebox. The door pockets are a good size, too, and the wireless phone charger is sensibly located between the seats.

Rear leg room in the EV6 is probably best described as "limo-like". Even if there’s a tall person sitting in front of you, you’ll have loads of space ahead of your knees.

Head room isn’t quite as good but it is far more accommodating than the Genesis GV60. You’d need to be more than six feet tall to have any complaints in the back of an EV6.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E and Nissan Ariya offer a couple of centimetres extra in this area. Still, the EV6's flat floor and wide interior mean it's not too much of a squeeze for three adults sitting across the rear bench. The EV6 isn’t available as a seven-seat SUV – you'll need the larger Kia EV9 to take six passengers.

advertisment

scroll for more

“Relaxation seats” in the front allow the EV6's driver and front passenger to fold their seats back almost completely flat, to let you lounge out while waiting for a charge. They’re not available in the entry-level Air trim, but standard elsewhere. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers something similar, but goes one step further by offering an extendable leg support.

The EV6's rear seatbacks can also be reclined (not to the same extent as the front seats) for a more relaxed seating position or folded down in a conventional 60/40 split when you need to carry more clobber than can be squeezed in the main boot. This is done using a handle beside the seat base, rather than on top of the rear seat, or via levers in the boot.

A ski hatch in the middle rear seatback allows you to carry long, thin items and still have two rear passengers on board.

How much room does it have for luggage?

Considering how big the Kia EV6 is, the boot is somewhat of an anticlimax because it’s not quite as big as you might expect. 

advertisment

scroll for more

Access is a doddle because of the large hatchback opening, and the load bay is a useful square shape. Underfloor storage is good, too; there’s a lift-up flap which allows you to drop in the charging cables, or you can lift the whole floor to reveal more space. There’s an additional space underneath this, too.

However, the boot is relatively shallow, which is why we managed to fit seven carry-on suitcases below the parcel shelf – the same number as we got into the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Mustang Mach-E, but one less than in the Ariya and two less than in a Tavascan or Capri. You’ll also be able to fit more luggage in a Tesla Model Y.

It has a pull-out luggage cover, but it doesn’t feel desperately high quality, and you’ll need to retract it each time if you’re loading bulky items. 

The EV6 also has a "frunk" (front boot), and in RWD models, it's large enough for a soft overnight bag or a couple of small bags of shopping. AWD models have less storage space under the bonnet, but it’s so small you might be at a loss as to what to use it for.

The EV6 has a nifty trick: when you’re parked up you can press a button to transform the front seats into business class-style beds. I found this feature particularly useful when waiting for the car to charge.

How much does it cost and what equipment do you get?

As a cash purchase, the Kia EV6 costs less than a Genesis GV60 or Tesla Model Y, and about the same as an equivalent Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Nissan Ariya with a similar battery size. That said, the Ioniq 5 and the Ariya are available with a smaller battery option that brings the entry price down.

Even entry-level EV6 Air models are pretty well equipped, with 19in alloy wheels, climate control, rain-sensing wipers, heated door mirrors, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats (with adjustable lumbar support for the driver). Vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology is available across all versions, although only the GT-Line S comes with an adapter – which enables V2L to work – as standard.

All this means that, unless you want four-wheel drive, the entry-level is the one we’d go for.

Stepping up to GT-Line trim adds slightly sportier looks, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat (which can, along with the front passenger seat, recline almost completely flat), privacy glass and wireless phone-charging. It also gives you access to the all-wheel drive version.

Range-topping GT-Line S models get larger (20in) alloys, exterior door handles that automatically pop out for you to grab, a head-up display, ventilated front seats and heated outer rear seats. It’s very well equipped but also quite pricey. It’s worth noting that this is the only trim to have an EV heat pump available, but even then, it’s an optional extra – unlike the fully electric Leapmotor B10, which features a heat pump as standard.

Is it reliable, and how long is the warranty?

The Kia EV6 recorded so-so reliability in our 2025 survey into the most reliable electric SUVs, with a score of 89.5% putting it into 17th place out of 27 models.

Kia finished 8th out of 30 brands featured in our 2025 survey into the most reliable car brands. That was just behind Tesla (7th), but above Hyundai (14th) and Volkswagen (joint 24th). 

The EV6 comes with a seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty that covers most components, including the drive battery. The Ioniq 5 gets eight years’ cover on the battery but only five years on the rest of the car.

How safe is it, and is it easy to steal?

The EV6 achieved a full five-star safety rating when it was appraised by Euro NCAP – not least because it comes with plenty of active safety kit to help you avoid collisions in the first place.

advertisment

scroll for more

All models have automatic emergency braking (AEB) that can recognise pedestrians and cyclists as well as cars, along with lane-keeping assistance, speed-limit assist and a system that monitors the attentiveness of the driver.

If you go for GT-Line trim, you’ll add blind-spot collision avoidance to the equipment list. Going for top-spec GT-Line S adds even more safety aids, including a blind-spot camera that shows the rear view on the digital driver’s display.
