In a year when plenty of new-car prices keep climbing, Kia is holding the line. The 2027 Kia EV6 carries over with the same MSRP on all seven trims. Pricing starts at $37,900 plus a $1,545 destination fee, and Kia left that fee alone, too.
Kia still builds the EV6 in West Point, Georgia, and it now shares the showroom with the smaller, newly launched EV3. Here is how the 2027 lineup breaks down, what you get for the money, and which version we would pick.
2027 Kia EV6 Pricing by Trim
Before the $1,545 destination fee, the EV6 Light with the standard-range battery starts at $37,900. The Light Long Range RWD is $41,200, and the Light Long Range AWD is $45,200. Moving up, the Wind RWD costs $44,800 and the Wind AWD is $48,800. At the top, the GT-Line RWD is $48,700, and the GT-Line AWD is $53,000.
Interestingly, the GT-Line RWD costs $100 less than the Wind AWD, so it pays to decide early whether you need all-wheel drive (AWD) or the GT-Line extras. You can build your own on Kia.com.
Up to 319 Miles of Range
Range is where trim choice matters most. The Light standard-range model uses a 63.0-kWh battery and earns a 237-mile rating. Every other trim gets an 84.0-kWh pack. The rear-wheel-drive Light Long Range, Wind, and GT-Line each earn 319 miles. Adding AWD drops that to 295 miles on the Light and Wind. The GT-Line AWD rides on 20-inch wheels and gets 270 miles.
Efficiency stays strong as well. Long-range RWD models return 114 MPGe combined. AWD Light and Wind models return 106 MPGe, and the GT-Line AWD returns 97 MPGe.
Charging, NACS Adapters, and Vehicle-to-Load
The EV6 keeps its charge port on the rear driver side. Long-range models accept up to 240 kW at a DC fast charger. Kia lists a fast-charge time of about 20 minutes on a 350-kW charger. At home, the 10.9-kW onboard charger fills the long-range battery in about 7 hours and 20 minutes on a 240-volt, 48-amp Level 2 charger. For that, our partners at Lectron make Level 2 home chargers, and there is no brand we trust more for charging an EV at home.
Kia includes NACS-to-CCS adapters for AC and DC charging in California, and dealers in other states can add them. That opens up access to more NACS fast chargers. Wind and GT-Line come standard with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), and the Light offers it as an option. Wind and GT-Line also add a V2L outlet under the second-row seat. That is handy for powering a laptop, a camping setup, or a slow cooker at a tailgate.
2027 Kia EV6 Power and Performance
The standard-range Light makes 167 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and reaches 60 mph in 8.3 seconds. Long-range RWD models step up to 225 horsepower and run 0 to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds. Meanwhile, AWD models make 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque and get to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds.
Long-range models can also tow up to 2,700 pounds with a braked trailer. Long-range trims also offer a heat pump to help protect range in cold weather.
A Family-Friendly Cabin
Inside, every EV6 gets a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch navigation screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get a wireless phone charger and two USB-C ports for the second row. Heated front seats come standard. Wind and GT-Line add ventilated front seats, a 10-way power passenger seat, and driver memory settings.
Rear passengers get 39.0 inches of legroom, and long-range trims offer heated outboard rear seats. Cargo space measures 24.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 46.7 cubic feet with them folded. That is enough for a stroller and a week of groceries. When we tested the EV6 GT, we installed child seats in the back for our family review, so check that out if car seats are high on your list.
Safety and Tech Features
Every 2027 EV6 comes with Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance, Lane Keeping Assist, and Lane Following Assist. Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Highway Driving Assist also come standard. Parents will appreciate the standard Rear Occupant Alert, which reminds you to check the back seat before you walk away.
Wind and GT-Line upgrade to Highway Driving Assist 2, which can change lanes when you use the turn signal. They also add a Surround View Monitor and the Blind-Spot View Monitor, which shows a camera feed in the gauge cluster when you signal. The GT-Line adds a head-up display, a power sunroof, Digital Key 2.0, and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2.
Our Take on the 2027 Kia EV6
Holding prices steady is the right move for the EV6. The EV3 now covers the entry point, as we noted when Kia announced EV3 pricing. That frees the EV6 to be the roomier, quicker choice for families who want one EV to do it all. Kia has also been on a strong sales run this year, as its record third-quarter results showed.
If I were shopping, I would skip the standard-range Light and start with the Light Long Range RWD at $41,200. It gets the 319-mile rating, which makes road trips across Texas a lot less stressful. If you want the nicer cabin and the extra safety tech, the Wind RWD at $44,800 is the sweet spot.
