The Kia EV6 Your guide to electric driving
Go electric with the Kia EV6 The new Kia EV6 brings together cutting-edge battery technology, performance and versatility in one striking crossover SUV. The EV6 gets the very latest in battery technology from Kia, making it supremely capable. Its E-GMP platform lets you cover up to 328 miles* on one charge. Not only that, but you can also charge the battery from 10-80% in just 18 minutes, so your stops en route leave you refreshed rather than left waiting. What’s more, the EV6 is a thrilling drive that will conquer the heart of even the most die-hard petrolhead. Kia chassis engineers have worked hard to match its performance with high levels of comfort and agility, making sure the EV6 is as sure-footed as it is cosseting. The EV6 has been built as an electric vehicle from the ground up. With a long wheelbase and a flat floor, it redefines interior cabin space and brings capacious luggage compartments to cater for every eventuality.
Setting new standards
The EV6 effortlessly sets new standards for electric cars. Its ultra-fast charging capabilities, range,
performance and practicality set it apart.

there’s no limit to your travel plans. Kia customers gain
exclusive access to Kia Charge, which lets them access
the largest collection of charging networks in the UK and
across Europe. Travel in comfort and style thanks to a
finely tuned chassis that seamlessly blends comfort and
performance. Luggage is stored in the car’s 490-litre
boot (1,300-litres with rear seats folded)** and 52-litre
(20-litre for AWD models) under-bonnet front trunk, or
‘frunk’, storage.
800V charging
You can charge your car overnight at home, but when
you’re out and about you can go from 10-80% battery
charge in just 18 minutes.
Built around the driver
Beautiful curved dual 12.3-inch displays face the driver.
The centre console features multi-mode controls, striking

make every journey more relaxing. Highway Driving
Assist 2 can even assist with lane changes on motorways.
Saving the planet as standard
Sustainable materials used in the cabin include vegan
leather trims, seat fabrics and floor carpets made using
recycled plastics, equivalent to 100 plastic bottles per car.
Vehicle-to-load
The EV6 can be used to power or charge most devices
with a three-pin plug, such as laptops, camping
equipment, electric bicycles or even your home.
18 minutes is all the time you’ll ever need The EV6 is about the thrill of the open road and exploring new locations. With a range of up to 328 miles* thanks to its 77.4kWh battery, the EV6 keeps you on the road longer than any other Kia electric car. And when you need to stop to recharge, Kia has you covered. The EV6 is the first Kia built using the new and revolutionary Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that features 400/800-volt charging as standard. This means a 10-80% charge can be achieved in as little as 18 minutes - twice as fast as most EVs - at the fastest compatible charge points. Short on time and only need a little extra range? EV6 can recharge at up to 62 miles in just five minutes.

EV questions answered Electric cars represent our future on the road, so it is important to understand them. Here are some of the most common questions and how the EV6 answers them. How long does it take to charge? The Kia EV6 is equipped with a large long-range 77.4kWh battery and 400/800-volt charging as standard. This allows for up to 60 miles of range in just 4.5mins at a 350kW ultra-fast charger. Plugging in using a 7kW home charger will take 9h 58mins for a 0-100% charge, while a 50kW rapid charger will take 73 mins, 0-80%. How far can I travel on one charge? The Kia EV6 offers a 328 mile* range from just one charge and with Kia Charge, and the IONITY network, you can travel across the UK and Europe with just one app. Range will vary depending on several factors including driving and charging habits, accessory use, temperature and topography, battery age, load, and vehicle condition. Are electric cars reliable? All Kia cars, including the electric EV6, are covered by our seven-year/100,000 mile warranty as standard for complete peace of mind. Electric motors are less complex than a petrol or diesel engine thanks to having just one moving part. Components such as brakes, suspension and tyres require routine servicing. How costly are electric cars to run? EV energy tariffs allow you to benefit from cheap energy to charge your EV6 at home. To work out how much it costs to charge, multiply your electricity unit rate in pence by the battery capacity in kWh. Electric cars also have reduced servicing and maintenance compared to a petrol or diesel model, thanks to a simpler powertrain. Power or energy? Power and energy are closely related but often confused. The key difference is time. A battery’s energy capacity is measured in kilowatt-hour (kWh), as is energy you buy at home, while power is measured in kilowatt (kW). The EV6 is powered by 168kW-430kW electric motors and all grades come with a long-range 77.4kWh battery that can be recharged at up to 350kW.
Kia - defining the electric car
The EV6 defines a new era for electrification, but Kia has been here before.
Start your electric car journey with Kia and benefit from first in the world to offer three forms of electrification:
the company’s decades of experience alongside cutting Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and the battery-electric e-Niro -
edge technological innovation, apps and more to make and all within the same award-winning SUV silhouette.
the switch to electric even simpler and enjoyable. As the third electric car in the Kia range, the EV6 marks
In the UK, Kia began its electric journey with the the start of a new generation of EV that will spearhead
introduction of the Soul EV fully-electric car in 2013. Kia’s global ambitions.
Now in its second generation, the award-winning Soul EV Kia plans to introduce 11 EVs by 2026 including seven
offers striking design with compelling quality and a dedicated fully-electric models, leading to a global
range of 280 miles per charge of its 64kWh battery. annual sales target of 1.6 million eco-friendly vehicles by
Similarly pioneering, the Niro range was one of the 2030 making up 40% of all sales.
Electric
Powered by lithium-ion polymer batteries, Kia’s electric vehicles are
the economical choice while also benefiting from zero VED and low
company car tax rates; just 1% in the 2021/22 tax year. Their fully
automatic powertrain is relaxing and easy to drive while also being
better for the environment with no exhaust emissions.
Plug-in Hybrid
A plug-in hybrid gets all the benefits of a self-charging hybrid, but it
has a larger battery and an electrical socket. This means you can plug
it in at home or at a public chargepoint to give you a 30-mile electric
range. When that electric range is depleted, the car automatically
switches to self-charging hybrid mode.
Self-Charging Hybrid
Switching between petrol and electric automatically optimises driving
performance, improves fuel economy and lowers emissions. Simply
get in and drive. No plugging in required.
Mild Hybrid
Mild Hybrids use a small battery and a clever motor/generator to
save fuel and lower emissions. This helps lower your costs without
changing how you use your car.
