Updates to the 2025 Kia EV6 in Albuquerque, NM

Just a few short years ago, in 2022, the sporty Kia EV6 was introduced to the U.S. and impressed us all with its class-leading charging performance, streamlined design, and a GT model that can deliver up to 576 horsepower for a heart-pounding thrill of a ride. Now, the company is preparing a fresh update for the 2025 Kia EV6 in Albuquerque, NM, which is anticipated to go on sale early next year or possibly even in late 2024. Two “teaser” photos were recently released showing revised lighting in both front and rear, but what else is in store? Keep reading to learn what we can expect from this already excellent electric vehicle. 

Just a Peek

Despite the two images being only teasers, we can get a pretty good idea of the refreshed exterior. The freshened appearance resembles the newer Kia models, such as the global EV5 electric SUV (which will NOT be coming to the U.S. market) and the new K4 compact sedan. Now featuring an angled C-shaped LED accent curving over the main headlight to join a thin trim piece, the headlights look similar to the “Tiger Nose” grilles of the gasoline-powered models. The taillight still flows up and over the tailgate but receives a tweak to the lighting graphics, with a triangle at the end.  

The updated cabin is a different story; nothing is visible from the photos. We do anticipate some changes, however, such as a modified dashboard design (think revamped controls on the center console) and an updated infotainment screen. No significant hardware changes are expected, although the refreshed EV6 could get a larger battery.

2025 Kia EV6 in Albuquerque, NM: Power

Currently, the EV6 is equipped with a 58-kWh battery pack for the entry-level variant, while a 77.4-kWh battery is the largest. In different performance applications, the bigger battery offers a range of 310 miles with 225 hp and 258 lb-ft for the RWD model or up to 218 miles of range with 576 hp/545 lb-ft of torque for the dual-motor, AWD high-performance GT trim. We anticipate the 2025 EV6 will get the upgraded 84 kWh battery pack that its corporate cousin, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, received in its last update, boosting its range by about 20 miles. The base battery should remain as is, and performance outputs aren’t expected to change significantly.

Charging the EV6 is fast and convenient. Because it is compatible with 400-volt and 800-volt DC fast chargers, the Kia EV6 offers quick charging solutions. With more than 130,000 charging stations across the nation and home charging options such as the ChargePoint Home Charger, keeping your new EV6 powered is effortless. 

Technology and Safety

You’ll be impressed with the Dual Panoramic Displays and Augmented Reality Head-Up Display, which allow you full control while keeping your eyes focused on the road ahead. And with Remote Smart Parking Assist – a smooth feature that amplifies safety and convenience- you’ll maneuver into any parking spot easily. Beyond technology, the EV6 delivers practical features like generous cargo space, a spacious interior, and an onboard power generator. Download the Kia Connect app, and you can seamlessly merge all your tech to take total command of your drives. 

As always, safety is a top priority, and with advanced driver-assist technologies like the Blind-Spot View Monitor, Forward Collision Avoidance, and more, you’ll have even more peace of mind.
