Video: 2025 Kia EV6 Up Close: Fresh Style and a Bit More Range

That is, of course, not all that's new. Let's see what else we got. Much of what is new really does come down to the updated front and rear fascias, where they've got a little bit sharper, more angular design. We've got new updated headlights and taillights at all four corners. And, well, you know, speaking of four corners, check out that slick new wheel design, that's pretty nice. Well, if you don't like it, no worries. There's a couple of wheel designs to pick from, so get your favorite. Now, before I hop inside and show a few of the interior changes, it's very important to show that the charge port has been moved to the left rear of the vehicle, and it is NACS format as standard, which means you now need to take note of your local closest Tesla supercharger station, 'cause that's gonna be where you can plug in, pretty cool. Just like the updated Sportage, one of the key updates you'll notice on the interior is this large curved center dash display here. This is made up of two 12.3-inch displays, with the center display handling the touch infotainment. That does include standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so that's pretty great. And, of course, we've got the 12.3-inch display for the driver, for all the driver information needs. We've got a redesigned center console here. It looks pretty slick. We've got a very chunky new steering wheel, very nice. And there's a few more intangible digital updates, like you can use now Digital Key, and there's some over-the-air update functionality added as well. So, you know, yeah, I would never have thought that EV owners are real tech savvy like that. Who would've thought? But it wouldn't be a refreshed EV if we didn't get a little bit more juice now, would it? The standard battery for the base, rear-wheel-drive Light trim is good for 167 horsepower and 258 pounds feet of torque, with its 63 kilowatt hour battery pack, up from 58 kilowatt hours in the old one. No mention of range yet for this Light trim, but the last battery for the Light trim was clocked at 232 miles of range. A bigger battery is available for that single motor, rear-wheel-drive model, up from 77.4 kilowatt hour battery to an 83 kilowatt hour battery pack. A setup that should cover around 319 miles. The performance oriented GT trim is more GT than ever, with up to 641 horsepower and 568 pounds feet of torque, up from 576 and 545 respectively. Yeah, take a wild freaking guess which trim I am most excited to drive. Well, I'll give you a hint, it starts with G, ends with T. Yeah, all right. Well, I'm gonna have to wait on that because this is not really entering production or gonna be available until around sometime in the middle of next year. And that's also when we're gonna learn more about pricing, at least closer to that time. And when we do, you can read all about it on cars.com/news.
