In the Australian market, the base EV6 Air with rear-wheel drive is priced at 72,660 Australian dollars. The GT-Line RWD version is more expensive, while the all-wheel-drive modifications, GT-Line AWD and GT AWD, approach the 100,000 mark. Compared to the previous model year, the entire range has increased by a symbolic 70 dollars.

Technology, Battery, and Range

The main technical update is a new 84 kWh battery, replacing the previous 77.4 kWh unit. All versions use the same battery but differ in settings and range. Depending on the modification, the autonomy according to the European WLTP cycle reaches from 450 to 582 km. Suspension settings and driving modes have also been revised for more precise handling.

Design and Equipment Updates

The 2026 EV6 has received new headlights, refined rear lighting, and updated interior elements. Inside, a dual-panel setup with two 12.3-inch screens is installed, along with a new steering wheel in the style of the EV9 and a redesigned center console. In GT-Line and GT versions, a fingerprint recognition system is available.

The updated Kia EV6 has become more technologically advanced and practical thanks to the increased battery and chassis refinements. The slight price increase appears moderate in light of the improvements, allowing the model to maintain competitiveness in the midsize electric crossover segment.
