If you want the fast Kia EV6 crossover, now’s your first opportunity to score one.
We’re only in the second model year for Kia’s new all-electric crossover, and there are two major changes worth mentioning. The base model ‘Light’ trim has gone, while the ‘Wind’ gets $1,000 more expensive. So, if you’re looking to get in on the ground floor, this change amounts to a $7,100 hike over the original 2022 EV6. The second change is Kia’s addition of the performance GT model, which offers up 576 horsepower, 545 lb-ft of torque and a 3.4 second 0-60 time for $62,695 (including destination).
Going with the EV6 GT, for all its grunt, also adds in adjustable suspension damping, an electronically-controlled limited-slip differential and 21-inch wheels.
The 2023 Kia EV6 Wind RWD, for its part, kicks off at $49,795. You get 225 horsepower (to the Light’s 167) and 310 miles of range, thanks to the larger 77.4-kWh battery pack (compared to a smaller 58-kWh unit on the former base model. The Wind also brings in leather seating, ventilated seats up front, external and internal vehicle-to-load ports, a smart power liftgate and a Meridian premium audio system. The Wind RWD also gets the Technology Package including a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear park assist and remote start parking assist as an option.
The Wind AWD and both GT-Line models remain the same as before, though they too see a $1,000 price jump. That said, all buyers do get 1,000-kWh of free DC fast charging through the Electrify America network. Kia touts the car’s ability to charge at up to 350 kW — allowing you to juice up the battery from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes — though you may struggle to find a station with that sort of output where you need it.
