Current Events: The 2025 Kia EV6 Sparks 9 Game-Changing Updates

2025 Kia EV6

The 2025 Kia EV6 is on its way to us here at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis, bringing exciting updates that blend cutting-edge technology, refined style, and smart practicality — all while keeping the bold, futuristic look drivers already love. Kia has fine-tuned this electric crossover to make daily drives more enjoyable and long road trips even smoother. Here’s what shoppers can look forward to when the refreshed EV6 arrives:

1. Bold New Design Details

The 2025 EV6 sports sharper lines and eye-catching ‘Star Map’ LED headlights, giving it a stronger family resemblance to other new Kia models. At the back, redesigned three-dimensional taillights and a more sculpted rear bumper enhance its road presence. Each trim will feature its own distinct bumper styling, while new wheel designs — ranging from 19 to 21 inches — further emphasize its sporty character. And, for added convenience, pop-out flush door handles are now standard across the lineup.

2. More Range, More Capability

Drivers will enjoy longer journeys thanks to improvements in battery capacity. The upgraded 84 kWh battery pack now delivers an estimated 319 miles of range in rear-wheel-drive models. The EV6 also steps up its utility, with towing capacity increasing to 2,700 lbs, complete with automatic trailer weight detection that smartly adjusts range projections.

3. Smarter Infotainment

Inside, the EV6 features an ultra-modern curved dual 12.3-inch display that integrates both driver information and infotainment controls. The new Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) system boasts faster processing and the ability to receive over-the-air updates. Drivers can even customize the display with their favorite NBA team’s colors and logos, and in-car video streaming is available for entertainment on the go.

4. Easier Charging with NACS and V2G Capability

Kia has relocated the charging port (except on GT models) to the driver’s side rear fender and adopted the North American Charging Standard (NACS), granting access to Tesla’s vast Supercharger network. The 2025 EV6 is also expected to introduce vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability, letting owners power their homes during outages or potentially sell energy back to the grid.

5. Quieter, More Refined Cabin

The cabin is even more serene thanks to new sound-absorbing materials. Kia has also redesigned the center console with a textured finish and added an improved wireless phone charger that prevents slipping, making daily driving feel more upscale and user-friendly.

6. Smoother, More Responsive Steering

A belt-driven steering system improves responsiveness, while a new D-shaped steering wheel with hands-on detection technology ensures safer, more confident driving. Electric tilt-and-telescoping adjustments add further comfort and convenience for drivers of all sizes.

7. Parking Made Simpler

The updated Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 makes navigating tight spaces a breeze. Additional forward, side, and reverse collision avoidance systems and improved highway driving assistance help make everyday driving and parking stress-free.

8. Convenient Digital Key 2.0

With Digital Key 2.0, drivers can unlock and start their EV6 using compatible smartphones or NFC smart cards — and even share access with others through a simple text message. No more fumbling for keys!

9. Built in the USA

The 2025 Kia EV6 (excluding the GT model) will be built at Kia’s West Point, Georgia facility. This not only helps ensure a steady supply but could also bring additional benefits for buyers in the form of eligibility for federal tax incentives.       

The wait is almost over — and there’s never been a better time to experience the future of driving! The 2025 Kia EV6 is rolling into showrooms with bold styling, smarter tech, longer range, and confidence-boosting features that make every trip — whether it’s a daily commute or a weekend road trip — feel exciting and effortless. 


From its sleek new design and customizable digital displays to smoother steering and parking assistance that practically does the work for you, this electric crossover is built to impress and engineered to perform.
