2025 Blue Kia EV6
With its enhanced battery pack and newly added NACS charge port, the EV6 eliminates the primary concerns that have traditionally kept adventurers tethered to conventional vehicles: range limitations and charging accessibility. This isn’t just another electric vehicle; it’s a passport to sustainable adventure across Canada’s diverse terrain.
The new EV6 captivates with its refreshed exterior as bold as your adventure plans. Featuring dynamic front-end styling that flows seamlessly into a striking side profile, the vehicle makes a statement with its new side mouldings and automatic flush door handles. The Kia signature Star Map lighting treatment adorns both the front and rear, ensuring you stand out in downtown Vancouver or parked at a remote trailhead.
Available in colours that complement Canada’s natural landscapes—including Glacier White, Ebony Black, Wolf Grey, and Midnight Lake Blue—the EV6 allows adventurers to express their personal style while embarking on sustainable explorations.
The sleek profile isn’t merely aesthetic—it’s functional engineering contributing to the vehicle’s impressive aerodynamics and range capabilities. When your adventures take you from coastal highways to mountain passes, the EV6 design works with you, not against you.
Adventure requires equipment, and the EV6 delivers with a thoughtfully designed interior that adapts to your expedition needs. With 690 litres of cargo space with the rear seats up, expanding to an impressive 1,322 litres with the seats folded, you’ll have ample room for camping gear, climbing equipment, paddleboards, or mountain bikes.
The 60:40 split-folding rear seats and remote folding capability offer the flexibility adventure seekers need, allowing you to configure the interior to accommodate oddly shaped gear or provide comfortable seating for fellow explorers. Under-floor storage offers additional space for valuable equipment you want to keep secure and out of sight during your adventures.
For extended expeditions, the Land AWD models offer a towing capacity of up to 2,700 pounds—sufficient for a small camper or adventure trailer that can serve as your base camp in the wilderness. Even the Wind RWD model can tow up to 1,653 pounds without trailer brakes, perfect for hauling kayaks or a small utility trailer.
The EV6 embraces technology that enhances the adventure experience without compromising the connection to nature. Dual 12.3-inch Supervision LCD/TFT instrument cluster and infotainment screens place all essential controls and navigation within easy reach, ensuring you stay on course even in unfamiliar territory.
The available Digital Key 2 feature transforms your smartphone into a secure key that unlocks the doors and starts the vehicle—a game-changer for adventurers who would rather not risk losing physical keys during water sports or wilderness activities. The Share Key function lets you share access with travel companions through their phones, facilitating group adventures without key-coordination hassles.
For tech-savvy explorers, the EV6 receives over-the-air (OTA) updates on many of its electronically controlled systems, including the powertrain. This means your vehicle can continue to improve even when you’re far from civilization, ensuring optimal performance throughout your journeys.
The available next-generation heads-up display (HUD) employs augmented reality (AR) technology to project essential driving information onto the windshield, allowing you to navigate confidently while keeping your eyes on challenging terrain or breathtaking vistas.
Venturing beyond the familiar comes with inherent risks, and the EV6 delivers comprehensive safety features to provide peace of mind no matter where your adventures take you. The vehicle has nine airbags, including driver knee and rear passenger airbags, protecting all occupants.
Advanced driver assistance systems include Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with junction turning function, Lane Keeping Assist System, Lane Following Assist, and Highway Drive Assist. These technologies work together to help prevent accidents and reduce driver fatigue on those long stretches of highway leading to your destination.
The EV6 Parking Distance Warning system for both front and rear assists with navigating tight spaces at trailheads or crowded adventure destinations. Higher trim levels add side parking warnings and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, valuable features when maneuvering in unfamiliar areas.
The available Blind View Monitor displays the blind spot in the direction your turn signal is indicating, while the full display digital ECM rear-view mirror provides a panoramic view of the rear of the vehicle when your view might be obstructed by adventure gear, essential for maintaining awareness on remote roads where wildlife crossings are common.
The EV6 offers a choice of powertrains to suit different adventure styles and requirements. The Short Range model features a 63 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery and delivers 167 horsepower with 258 lb-ft of torque in the Light RWD (rear-wheel drive) configuration, achieving a range of 381 kilometres—sufficient for day trips and shorter expeditions.
The Long Range models feature an 84 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery for serious adventurers requiring more range and capability. The Wind RWD configuration produces 225 horsepower and offers an impressive 513 kilometres range, ideal for extended journeys along Canada’s vast highways.
The Land AWD (all-wheel drive) configuration is the ultimate adventure companion, delivering 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque with a range of 475 kilometres. This powertrain provides the confidence to tackle unpaved roads, snowy conditions, and challenging terrain inaccessible to conventional electric vehicles. For adventurers seeking even more capability, the Land AWD with Premium, GT-Line, or GT-Line Limited Packages maintains a substantial 435 kilometres range.
Including the NACS charge port is revolutionary for adventure-seeking Canadians, providing access to thousands of additional fast-charge stations across Canada and the United States. Using a Level 3 DC fast charger (350kW), the EV6 can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 20 minutes—just enough time to grab a coffee and plan your next destination during longer journeys through Canada’s wilderness corridors.
Canada’s diverse seasons present unique challenges for adventure vehicles, and the EV6 rises to meet them all. The standard battery heating system ensures optimal performance even in frigid temperatures. In contrast, the available heat pump system on Wind and higher trims enhances climate control efficiency, preserving range in cold weather while keeping the cabin comfortable.
The Land AWD models provide the traction and stability needed for confidence on snow-covered mountain passes or rain-slicked coastal highways. Combined with the instant torque delivery characteristic of electric vehicles, the EV6 offers responsive performance that enhances the driving experience on winding roads and challenging terrain.
The vehicle’s Drive Mode Select feature allows you to tailor performance characteristics to suit different conditions, from maximizing efficiency on long highway stretches to optimizing power delivery on exciting backroads.
For winter adventurers, heated front seats come standard across all trims, while the available heated steering wheel and heated rear seats ensure comfort for all occupants during cold-weather expeditions. When summer adventures heat up, the available air-cooled front seats provide welcome relief.
The EV6 has thoughtful features that enhance the adventure experience. The available smart power liftgate opens automatically when you approach with your hands full of gear. The solar glass windshield and front doors help maintain comfortable cabin temperatures during long days of exploration.
The wireless phone charger, available on Wind and higher trims, eliminates the hassle of tangled charging cables. At the same time, front and rear USB-C charging ports ensure all devices—from smartphones to action cameras—stay powered throughout your journey. The 12V cargo power outlet provides additional versatility for powering adventure equipment.
The LED headlights, positioning lights, and daytime running lights ensure optimal visibility in all conditions for night adventures or early morning departures. The rain-sensing wipers automatically adjust to precipitation intensity, allowing you to focus on the road ahead when weather conditions change unexpectedly.
The available panoramic sunroof on GT-Line models connects occupants with the natural surroundings, bringing the outside in, whether you’re driving through towering forests or beneath star-filled northern skies.
The EV6 is available in several trim levels, allowing adventurers to choose the configuration that best suits their exploration style.
The Light RWD serves as the entry point, offering essential features including 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, automatic headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a comprehensive array of safety systems—ideal for adventurers primarily exploring urban environments with occasional forays into nature.
Stepping up to the Wind RWD adds solar glass for the windshield and front doors, a wireless phone charger, heat pump climate control, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a heated steering wheel—features enhance comfort during extended road trips to remote destinations.
The Land AWD introduces all-wheel drive capability for confident off-pavement driving, along with 20-inch alloy wheels, advanced forward collision avoidance assist, highway drive assist, blind-spot collision avoidance assist, and a smart power liftgate—creating a vehicle purpose-built for serious adventurers.
