Kia has introduced the Light Long Range RWD and Light e-AWD models in 2024, offering a larger battery pack and more powerful electric motors. The lowest trim level remains the Light RWD model, using a smaller 58.0 kWh battery pack and 167-horsepower motor. The high-performance EV6 GT also gets a small range boost, increasing by 12 miles up to 218 miles on a full charge.

The EV6’s range and performance specs depend on battery size and whether it has a motor on only one axle or both. The Light trim level has a 58-kilowatt-hour battery pack with a 180-kW maximum charging speed and rear-wheel drive courtesy of a single electric motor. The EPA-estimated range is 232 miles.

The EV6 GT (new in 2023) gets more powerful front and rear motors, upping output to 576 hp and 545 lb-ft. The 0-60 time drops to 3.4 seconds, and the range plummets to 218 miles.
