Kia EV6

Low-key facelift aims to keep fashionable electric family SUV near the top of the pile

Being technologically and stylistically progressive, the Kia EV6 was a badge of honour for its maker when it came along in 2021 – and a key indicator that the time of the midmarket electric car had arrived.It became the first Korean winner of the European Car of the Year award in 2022. And it advanced our expectations of how spacious and innovatively packaged an EV at its size and price could be, but also how engaging to drive, thanks to assertive performance and a fairly agile rear-drive chassis. Standards have developed quickly among mid-sized EVs since then, of course. So now to scrutinise Kia’s response to the competition that the EV6 has attracted since 2021, represented by cars as different as the Renault Scenic E-Tech and regrettably short-lived Fisker Ocean.Kia’s aim with this revision is mostly to bring the EV6 into line, technically and visually, with the newer Kia EV9 flagship SUV – and EVs -3, -4 and -5 that will follow over the coming months
