Powering the new Kia EV6 is Hyundai Motor Group’s latest 84 kWh battery, replacing the previous 77.4 kWh pack.
South Korean carmaker, Kia has showcased the 2025 EV6 at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. The 2025 Kia EV6 gets several updates in terms of design, technology and performance. Interestingly, the design of the 2025 Kia EV6 was patented in India earlier this year, indicating that the model will soon be launched in India as well.
The most striking change on the 2025 EV6 is up front. The facelifted EV6 features angular LED daytime running lights and headlamps with a similar design to the EV3 and EV4 concepts along with the Kia EV9.
The rest of the exterior remains largely unchanged except for the new diamond cut alloy wheels, which now range in size between 19-inch and 20-inch. Meanwhile, the connected LED light bar is still present at the rear, which gives the EV6 a distinct look.
