The Kia EV6 will be the brand’s first dedicated electric car, and it is due to arrive in Australia soon. We don’t know all the local details yet, but based on the Kia Australia website, here’s what we can expect.
| Drive | Battery | Power |
| RWD | 58kWh | 125kW |
| AWD | 58kWh | 173kW |
| RWD | 77.4kWh | 168kW |
| AWD | 77.4kWh | 239kW |

The EV6 and EV6 GT-Line are offered with a choice of 19-inch or 20-inch wheels. The EV6 GT receives its own unique 20-inch design.
In Korea, the EV6 is offered with an option of an LED light on the tailgate, black-out window shades, and a tailored air mattress which can be used as a bed with all the seats folded flat. Great for a snooze while charging, or a trip to the drive-in. For what it’s worth, the Korean translation for ‘Sandman‘ is 샌드맨.
A number of colour choices are shown for the Kia EV6, but Australian specification may change.
As noted in our ‘What to Expect’ guide, it is reasonable to expect a starting price in Australia of around $65,000 (either before on-road costs or drive-away) for an entry-level, rear-drive 58kWh battery version. A flagship long-range, all-wheel-drive model could cost upwards of $80,000 – with the eventual GT likely to approach $90,000.
