Kia EV6 Facelift Teased Ahead of Global Debut

Kia has teased the facelift of the EV6, ahead of its global debut later this year. While not much has been shared, the teasers show that the EV6 will be getting a new design for the headlamps, a redesigned fascia and refreshed taillamps. 

The EV6 now gets headlamps that look similar to other electric models from the brand like the EV5 and EV9. It has a triangular LED DRL signature and the grille has also been slightly redesigned. Moving to the back, the taillamp housing remains the same but the lighting elements have been revised. 

While Kia hasn’t teased the interiors, expect the cabin to also get new design elements that could include a new steering wheel and probably an updated infotainment system. 

However, the biggest update to the EV6 is likely to be an updated powertrain. Kia has not confirmed this but the EV6 could come with a larger battery pack. Currently, the EV6 gets a 77.4 kWh battery pack that gives it a range of up to 708 km on a full charge.

The EV6 facelift will continue to rival the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (₹46.05 lakh), Volvo XC40 Recharge (₹54.95 - 57.90 lakh), BMW iX1 (₹66.90 lakh) and Mercedes-Benz EQB (₹77.75 lakh). At the moment, the EV6 is priced between ₹60.96 - 65.96 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Expect the EV6 facelift to launch in India by 2025.
