Perhaps the biggest headline feature is a larger battery, with 63kWh on the base model and 84kWh on the larger battery – both around 7kWh more than the 2024 model. The 84kWh battery now has an improved 2,700lb towing capacity.

The new battery comes with enhanced vehicle-to-load capabilities. Whereas the previous EV6 was capable of ~1.8kW of power supply, the new EV6 is now capable of a whopping 12kW output – which is more than even the top-spec F-150 Lightning. So, when paired with a Wallbox Quasar charger, you could use your EV6 to power your home.

The EV6 GT model will also get one of the headline features we’ve seen in the popular Ioniq 5 N – a new “Virtual Gear Shift” feature which “enhances driving immersion by simulating gear shifts with visuals, engine sound effects, and a tactile sensation through motor torque adjustment.”

Why would anyone would want this? Why did they think anyone would want this?

Going back to the charging point, charging will now be even easier as the 2025 Kia EV6 will have a native NACS port. This is one of the first non-Tesla vehicles to have a native NACS port, alongside Hyundai’s offerings. Most other vehicles plug in through adapters so far, though in the next year or two we expect to see more native ports show up.
