2026 Kia EV6 price and specs

The facelifted Kia EV6 has finally arrived in Australia, two years after its reveal, bringing specification enhancements and very minor price rises.

Still available in the same four variants, the EV6 now starts at $72,660 before on-road costs for the base Air and extends to $99,660 before on-roads for the flagship GT – all variants are just $70 more than their pre-update counterparts.

Headlining the changes is a new, more energy-dense 84kWh lithium-ion battery that replaces the old 77.4kWh unit, boosting claimed range from 528km to 582km in rear-wheel drive grades with 19-inch alloy wheels.

The same battery is used across the lineup, with all-wheel drive EV6s now rated at either 522km or 450km, depending on the variant. Kia says the battery can still be charged from 10 to 80 per cent within 18 minutes using a 350kW ultra-fast DC charger.

Importantly, the updated EV6 GT now features much of the same equipment as its Hyundai Ioniq 5 N cousin, with both high-performance electric models sharing the same power outputs, simulated gear shifts, and synthesised engine sounds.

Otherwise, the Korean brand says it has improved ride comfort by retuning the SUV’s shock absorbers, while additional sound deadening has been applied around the rear electric motor to reduce noise.

The B-pillar is now thicker to increase body rigidity, and side airbags have been fitted to the second row.

Visually, the EV6 is now better aligned with the rest of Kia’s latest models, featuring angular daytime running lights and redesigned headlights. There are two different front bumper and grille treatments, one for the GT-Line and GT with a light bar, and the other for the Air.
