2025 Kia EV6 near Rio Rancho, NM: Power and Performance

The base Kia EV6 has an electric motor on the rear axle and is, therefore, a rear-wheel drive vehicle. However, you can choose two electric motors placed on both axles for all-wheel drive. RWD models offer 167 horsepower with the smaller 63-kWh battery or 225 hp with the 84-kWh pack, while AWD models with the dual motor setup will crank out 320 hp with 446 lb-ft of torque. The top-tier GT trim’s output is now 601 hp with 545 lb-ft of torque, which can rise to 641 hp/568 lb-ft in GT mode for short surges of extra power. It also features enhancements such as firmer chassis tuning, an electronic limited-slip differential, adaptive suspension, and stronger brakes. The GT trim will also sport a Virtual Gear Shift that mimics gears with sounds, visuals, and sensations from motor torque adjustments.

EPA ratings have not been released for the new model, but the prior model was good for 310 miles of range for the larger battery and non-GT trim, while the GT trim’s range was 218 miles. Expect higher numbers for the 2025 model. When using a 350-kW fast charger, the battery can be replenished up to 80% in under 18 minutes.

The interior of the Kia EV6 is elegant and high-tech with its vast, digitized screens, a two-tone, two-spoke steering wheel, a center console start button, and gold accents throughout the cabin. Passenger space is ample in both front and rear seats.
