Kia has launched ‘The New EV6 (EV6)’, which has enhanced its marketing through interior and exterior design, battery performance, and convenience features. Despite strengthening the marketing of this car, Kia did not raise the price, and it is being taken into account whether this will revive the sales of Kia electric vehicles.

Kia plans to strengthen its position as the leading domestic electric vehicle brand through the new EV6.

At the EV6 Photo Press Day held on the 13th, Kia Domestic Business Division Head (Vice President) Won-jeong Won said, “24 years is the year of EV popularity for Kia,” and added, “After this year’s EV6, we will consolidate our position as a leading brand through the EV3 concentration.”

The biggest change in the new EV6 is felt from the outside. EV6 is reborn with a dynamic and sophisticated look with the concept of ‘modern contrast’.

The highlight is the daytime running lights (DRL) with Kia’s new family look, Sma Map signature lights, placed on the front.

Kia exterior designer Lee Hyo-seong said, “EV6’s design concept is to maximize fun and energy,” and added, “We changed the headlights and tail lamps compared to the model was there before. ” He added, “We focused on creating an impactful first impression through a three-dimensional headlight design. ”

The interior creates a more luxurious feel by using new design elements based on the existing flat design. A panoramic curved display has been applied to emphasize a clean and spacious feel.

Jeong Hye-rin, a researcher at the Kia Future Design Team, said, “The interior inherited the sporty image of the existing vehicle while emphasizing a spacious feel. ” The company explains that it has made an effort to improve not only the design but also convenience by adding a fingerprint authentication system to the center console and a wireless charging pad with an improved structure to prevent the smartphone from moving.

In addition, Kia provides a better driving experience through the new EV6.

First, by using a 4th generation battery with more energy density, the battery capacity has been increased from 77.4 kWh to 84 kWh. Based on this, the driving distance on a single charge increased from 475 km to 494 km based on the long-range two-wheel drive model.

The fast charging speed has also been improved. Even though the battery capacity has increased, it is possible to charge up to 80% of the battery capacity within ’18 minutes’ when charging at the 350kW class ultra-fast charger .

EV6 is equipped with a large number of modern infotainment specifications, enhancing its overall marketability.

In addition to being equipped with ccNC, the next generation infotainment system, the scope of over-the-air (OTA) software updates, which was only available for the existing navigation systems, has been extended to include the controller, allowing functions connected to the main electronic controls of the vehicle to be kept up to date.

◆ If tax benefits are applied, 52.6 million won … “Certified value of used cars”


Kia confirmed that it has frozen the selling price of the EV6 despite strengthening its marketing to the new car level. According to Kia, the EV6, which has completed ministerial certification and is expected to be released next month, is expected to be available for purchase starting at 52.6 million won if tax benefits are apply.

This is a program that reduces three liabilities when purchasing a vehicle, and is offered to individual customers (including individual business owners) who sign an EV6 contract and who sent him away within this year.

We provide trade-in (trade-in) benefits when selling existing vehicles and operate special variable interest rate allowances to offset changes in market interest rates to reduce In addition, to reduce the burden on the used car’s residual value, we plan to guarantee up to 60% of the EV6’s residual value when we buy back Kia vehicles in the future.
