The new Kia EV6 Premiete at 2024 LA Auto Show

After making a bold entrance into the EV market nearly three years ago and earning numerous industry accolades, including the 2023 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year, a significantly refreshed Kia EV6 was unveiled today at the Los Angeles International Auto Show.

Featuring updated front and rear designs, enhanced premium interior touches, and newly packaged trim levels with added features and amenities, the EV6 continues to strengthen its position in the CUV and EV segments by building on its award-winning formula.

The 2025 EV6 will be assembled at Kia Georgia’s assembly plant alongside the EV9 and will be available in Light (RWD only), Light Long Range (RWD or e-AWD), Wind (RWD or e-AWD), GT-Line (RWD or e-AWD), and GT (e-AWD) trims. It’s expected to go on sale in the first half of next year.

The 2025 EV6 has evolved with the newer Kia models, with subtle yet impactful updates that maintain its unmistakable identity while giving it a sportier edge.

Kia’s signature Star Map lighting shapes the new headlights and DRLs, giving it a high-tech look with wing-like graphics that help create a wider, more dynamic appearance.

The front bumper sports sharper angles while character lines on the hood that extend to the air intake add contrast and depth to the overall front design.

From the rear, three-dimensional taillights also take after the Star Map design language, while the rear bumper adopts a wide, wing-type shape that visually ties the rear design to the front.

The 2025 EV6’s side profile changes slightly, as a result of the front and rear cladding and a more sharply angled side sill molding that enhances the EV’s stance.

New wheel designs, available in 19- to 21-inch sizes depending on the trim level, maintain the EV6’s striking appearance while offering a fresh look.
