It offers a compelling blend of performance, impressive real-world range, and cutting-edge features. With a new price tag around €53,990 in Europe, this machine isn't just keeping up with rivals like the Tesla Model Y; it's setting its own electrifying pace.
What's New for 2025?
For 2025, the EV6 Long Range AWD gets a slick refresh! Most notably, it sports a larger 84 kWh nominal battery (80 kWh usable), promising even better adventures. The front gets a sharper look with new "Star Map" signature daytime running lights and a revised bumper. Inside, you’ll find Kia’s latest ccNC infotainment system with smoother operation and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, plus a redesigned steering wheel. Subtle suspension tweaks aim to enhance ride comfort, making this already accomplished EV an even more compelling package for the European market.
Design & Exterior
The EV6 Long Range AWD continues to rock Kia's "Opposites United" design, looking like something straight out of a sci-fi flick. For 2025, its distinctive "Digital Tiger Face" is sharpened with new, angular headlights. Flush door handles and a coupe-like roofline keep it sleek, while this AWD version often boasts unique alloy wheels. Measuring 4695 mm in length, 1880 mm in width (excluding mirrors), and 1550 mm in height, it has a commanding presence. It’s a crossover that genuinely stands out from the crowd, blending futuristic cues with muscular proportions.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Step inside the EV6 Long Range AWD, and you're greeted by a properly modern and airy cabin, often featuring sustainable materials. Passenger space for its five seats is generous, with plenty of legroom thanks to the flat floor from its dedicated EV platform. Cargo-wise, you get a practical 490 litres in the boot, expanding to a whopping 1290 litres with the seats down, plus a handy 20-litre frunk for charging cables. The dashboard is dominated by dual 12.3-inch screens, now running Kia's slicker ccNC infotainment with over-the-air updates.
Performance & Driving Experience
This Long Range AWD EV6 is no slouch, capable of a brisk 0-100 km/h sprint in just 5.3 seconds! Its dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (one front, one rear) deliver a punchy 239 kW of power and a hefty 605 Nm of torque, providing thrilling all-wheel-drive grip. The driving experience is a brilliant mix of engaging handling and refined cruising comfort. Multiple regenerative braking levels, including a nifty i-Pedal for one-pedal driving, make it smooth and efficient around town or on the open road. It’s a genuinely fun steer!
Range, Battery & Charging
The 2025 EV6 Long Range AWD boasts a substantial 80 kWh usable battery capacity. Green Cars Compare calculates its real-world range at an impressive 461 km, with an efficiency of 5.76 km/kWh. Thanks to its cutting-edge 800V architecture and CCS Type 2 port, DC fast charging is incredibly quick – hitting up to 240 kW (or 97 kW on a 400V charger) means a 10-80% top-up in around 18 minutes. Standard AC charging is a solid 10.5 kW. Plus, it features handy Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
Kia packs the EV6 Long Range AWD with safety kit, reflected in its top-tier 5-star Euro NCAP rating (and NHTSA 5-star). You can expect a comprehensive suite of driver aids, with many standard on this higher-spec trim. Features like Highway Driving Assist 2, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with junction turning, and Remote Smart Parking Assist are typically included. For 2025, enhancements often include improved lane-keeping and hands-on detection for the steering wheel, keeping you super secure on the move.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
Kia is renowned for its peace-of-mind warranty, and the EV6 Long Range AWD is no exception. European buyers typically benefit from a 7-year / 150,000 km basic vehicle warranty, which is class-leading. The crucial high-voltage battery is also covered for 7 years or 150,000 km, usually with a guarantee against excessive degradation (e.g., to 70% capacity). Powertrain components are covered under the main warranty. Maintenance is generally minimal for EVs, contributing to lower running costs, and with a braked towing capacity of 1800 kg, it's practical too.
