2022 Kia EV6 on Sale Soon, Priced From $42,115

The 2022 EV6 is Kia’s inaugural dedicated electric vehicle, and it’s arriving imminently to join the rapidly expanding arena of all-electric SUVs. That includes existing challengers like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.4, as well as upcoming rivals such as its Ioniq 5 cousin, from Kia’s affiliated automaker Hyundai, and the Nissan Ariya. Now, Kia has announced the EV6’s trim levels and pricing, too.

Pricing and Release Date

The EV6 will come in three trim levels to start: Light, Wind and GT-Line (a performance-oriented GT model is expected to arrive later). The Light will be offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive, while the Wind and GT-Line will be offered with standard RWD or available all-wheel drive. Prices for the 2022 Kia EV6 are listed below and include a $1,215 destination charge. The EV6 will also be eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit, and it’s available in all 50 states. Kia says the EV6’s arrival is expected in the coming weeks.

• Light: $42,115 (RWD)
• Wind: $48,215 (RWD); $52,115 (AWD)
• GT-Line: $52,415 (RWD); $57,115 (AWD)

Versus the Competition

The EV6’s starting price lands it mid-pack among competitors. The 2022 VW ID.4 starts at $41,955, the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E starts at $44,995 , and the Tesla Model Y with standard AWD has a starting price of $60,190 (all prices include destination). The EV6’s starting price is also sandwiched between its upcoming rivals: The Hyundai Ioniq 5 will start at $40,925, and the Nissan Ariya is priced from $47,125.

The EV6 will offer two battery pack options: a base 58-kilowatt-hour battery or a 77.4-kWh battery in higher trims. The EV6 gets an EPA-rated range between 232 miles and 310 miles, trim depending; the 77.4-kWh battery with RWD offered on the Wind and GT-Line trims gets the most range. The EV6’s initial power figures are expected to range between 167 hp for the 58-kWh battery and 313 hp for the 77.4-kWh option, though the latecoming GT should comfortably top the other trims with an estimated 576 hp when it finally arrives.
