The 2024 Kia EV6 range of configurations is currently priced from $56,888.
Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT wins this comparison with the Kia EV6 GT by a small margin, mainly due to its better practicality, its styling and its lower ownership costs. The Kia EV6 GT is also brilliant in its sporty handling, value-for-money and great battery tech. But if there was one that’s the best all-rounder to live with daily, it’s the Mustang Mach-E GT.

The 2024 Kia EV6 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Kia EV6 2024 prices range from $61,930 for the basic trim level SUV AIR RWD to $87,780 for the top of the range SUV GT AWD.
The interior of the 2024 Kia EV6 looks well-made with flush joinery and a plethora of soft-touch points throughout.
The mix of high-end materials enhance a premium feel, even in the base model.
The headliner on the base Air model is a light grey cloth but on every other variant expect a black synthetic suede.
Every EV6 enjoys a dashboard that is headlined by a long curved panel that houses the dual 12.3-inch technology screens. The accent trim varies with the Air model being finished in a metallic silver and all other models finished in gloss-black panelling on the dashboard and centre console.
On every model excluding the base Air model, there is a 64-way coloured ambient lighting system to customise the interior's mood.
The range and energy consumption varies between the four 2024 Kia EV6 models.
The base model Air has a combined energy consumption of 16.5kWh/km (WLTP) and a maximum driving range of 528km.
The mid-spec GT-Line RWD has a combined energy consumption of 17.2kWh/km (WLTP) and a maximum driving range of 504km.
The GT-Line AWD has a combined energy consumption of 18.0kWh/km (WLTP) and a maximum driving range of 484km.

The boot space of the base-model 2024 EV6 Air is decently sized at 490L (VDA) when all five seats are in use. That jumps up to 1270L when the rear seats are folded. The frunk storage is large at 52L and has a lid.
To accommodate for the extra motor, the GT-Line and GT models lose some storage capacity, 10L is lost on both Air boot space figures (480L/1260L). The frunk storage also loses out and drops down to 20L.
The boot features a level loading space, manual levers to fold the rear row, a 12-volt port and a retractable cargo cover. A luggage net is also available at cost.
The 2025 Kia EV6 has five seats in a 2/3 configuration. The rear row features a 60/40 split and a fold-down armrest.
On the base model Air, front seats feature manual adjustments but the drivers' side has powered two-way lumbar support. Upholstery is a mix between premium cloth and synthetic leather.
On the mid-spec GT-Line models (RWD and AWD), front seats feature powered eight-way adjustments, powered two-way lumbar support but the drivers' side also has two-position memory function. Both front seats can be set to 'relaxation mode', which is a premium reclining function. Upholstery is a mix between synthetic suede and vegan white leather with white stitching.
Surprisingly, the flagship GT grade features GT bucket front seats with the same manual adjustments as the base model, but the driver's side gets powered two-way lumbar support. Upholstery is a mix between synthetic suede and leather but features a contrasting green stitching and piping.
There are three motors available but they are variant-specific and all have one-speed automatic transmissions.
The 2024 Kia EV6 Air and GT-Line RWD share the same single-motor that produces a maximum power output of 168kW/350Nm.
The EV6 GT-Line AWD has dual-motors that produce a maximum power output of 239kW/605Nm.
The flagship EV6 GT (AWD) has dual-motors that produce a maximum power output of 430kW/740Nm.

The Kia EV6's charging port is located at the rear of the vehicle, at the small panel located just below the right tail-light. There are three ways of charging the Hyundai Ioniq 6 – two at home methods, and one in public. It is recommended that owners of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 purchase a three-phase 11kW at-home wall charger box. These retail for anywhere from $800 to $2000, depending on the manufacturer and the power supply, with additional charges of 21 to 36 cents per kW, depending on your energy provider. Additional costs can be zero if you’re hooked up to a renewable source such as solar. All up, it will deliver a charge time of seven hours. Alternatively, owners can charge their Kia EV6 at home using a conventional 240V powerpoint which takes about 33 hours. A public charging station of 50kW will deliver a zero to 80 per cent charge in 1.6 hours, while a 350kW charger will see the time it takes drop to 18 minutes. Cost is dependent on location, whether it is a peak period or not, and what the charger’s capacity is, though as a general rule you should never pay more than $40 for a full charge.
