This is the final year to buy the 2025 Kia EV6 at new-vehicle pricing in Canada. Kia Canada confirmed in December 2025 that the EV6 will not be returning for 2026. In its place, the 2027 Kia EV5 will take over in the spring. Here are the trims, specifications and what it means for you at Kia Chambly.
Key takeaways
- The 2025 Kia EV6 is the final model year in Canada.
- A starting MSRP of $51,844, range up to 513 km in the Long Range trim.
- 800 V architecture: 10 to 80 % in about 18 minutes. Roughly 3 times quicker than most competitors.
- Its successor, the 2027 Kia EV5, arrives in spring 2026 from $43,495, in a more family-friendly SUV format.
Summary
The 2025 Kia EV6 starts at an MSRP of $51,844 for the Light RWD trim, with up to 513 km of range in the Long Range configuration. Following that, the 2027 Kia EV5 arrives with a starting MSRP of $43,495. You have two options in 2026: take advantage of the last EV6 units in stock, or wait for the EV5 designed for the Canadian market.
Kia EV6: a key model in Kia electrification
To position the EV6 within Kia electric vehicles, it is the first 100 percent electric model engineered on Kia’s E-GMP platform. Launched in 2022, it proved that EV could go with bold design, ultra-fast charging and performance worthy of a premium SUV.
Kia EV6: range, charging and performance
The EV6 range varies by trim:
- Light RWD: 63-kWh battery, 381 km
- Wind and Land RWD: 84-kWh battery, up to 513 km
- Land and GT-Line AWD: 84-kWh, up to 441 km
The EV6 relies on an 800-volt architecture that lets you add roughly 100 km in under 5 minutes on a compatible DC fast charger. In practical terms, it is a quick coffee stop on the drive from Montreal to Quebec, then you are back on the road with enough energy to finish the trip.
Why the EV6 800 V architecture makes a difference
Most electric vehicles on the market use a 400-volt architecture. That is fine for daily home charging, although it becomes a limiting factor once you rely on highway fast charging.
The EV6 runs on 800 V, double the usual norm. What does that change in practice?
On a compatible 350-kW fast charger, the EV6 can recover around 100 km of range in under 5 minutes and go from 10 to 80 % in about 18 minutes. The Tesla Model Y, on 400 V, generally sits around 25 to 30 minutes, in favourable conditions, for a similar state of charge.
It is not only a matter of numbers. It is the difference between a quick coffee break and an extended wait you have to plan for. On a Chambly to Quebec trip, that means a single stop under 20 minutes instead of a one-hour halt.
The 800 V setup also reduces heat generated during charging, which helps preserve the battery over time. Less degradation, better capacity retention after years of use.
Technology and in-cabin experience
Inside, the Kia EV6 features two 12.3-inch screens set side by side and a sporty two‑spoke steering wheel. You get a heat pump for winter range retention in Quebec, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus V2L technology that turns the vehicle into a power source for your devices.
Why the Kia EV6 still makes sense today
Three reasons stand out:
- The 800 V architecture that charges faster than most 400 V rivals
- Proven reliability since 2022
- Balance of driving enjoyment and efficiency that few models offer in this price range.
Why Kia is introducing the EV5: context and strategy
Evolution of Kia’s electric lineup
Since 2025, EV6 production moved from South Korea to the United States. With Canadian tariffs on EVs made in the U.S., Canada's allocation has been very limited. Kia is, therefore, focusing on the EV5, exclusive to Canada in North America.
Who the Kia EV5 is made for now
The EV5 targets Quebecer families who want a true compact electric SUV format: taller and squarer body than the EV6, a size close to the Sportage, nine trims from Light to GT-Line Limited.
Kia EV5: what we know about the new electric SUV
- Starting MSRP: $43,495 (Light FWD). Top of the line: $61,495 (GT-Line Limited AWD)
- Two batteries: 60.4-kWh, about 335 km, and 81.4-kWh, up to 460 km
- FWD and AWD configurations
- NACS port standard, compatible with Tesla Superchargers
- Availability: spring 2026 for Wind to GT-Line Limited. Light in fall 2026
EV6 vs. EV5: what are the concrete differences?
The EV6 is a low, coupe-like crossover focused on performance with an 800 V architecture.
The EV5 is a more traditional SUV that sits higher and is more convenient for families, on a 400 V architecture. DC fast charging is a bit less quick on the EV5 at about 30 minutes to regain 10 to 80 %, while usable space and flexibility are more generous.

What We Know About the 2025 Kia EV6
Exterior and Interior Design
The 2025 Kia EV6 fits the trend of evolving the vehicle to be more compatible with the new models of the European manufacturer. This also characterizes the 2025 Kia K4, which aligns with the design of the brand's recent vehicles.
At the Los Angeles Auto Show, it was possible to observe that the 2025 EV6 features new Star Map headlights. The bumper is more angular, and the hood brings a breath of modernity to the electric vehicle. The EV6's automatic-opening door handles are now available on all versions. Finally, you will enjoy the new wheel design from 19 to 21 inches.
Like its big brother, the Kia EV9, the 2025 EV6 will benefit from a 12.3-inch instrument display and an up-to-date console. To enhance cabin comfort, the Kia EV6 will be about 15 mm longer.
Expected Performance and Powertrain
For 2025, the existing rear-wheel and all-wheel drive powertrains will be carried over. The former ensures an extended range of 525 km, while the AWD version offers 475 km before stopping at a charging station. The manufacturer still announces a charging time from 10 to 80% in 18 minutes, which is very fast.
The most important change in terms of powertrain would come from the Kia EV6 GT-Line, which will be able to produce 601 horsepower and an impressive 545 lb-ft of torque.
With GT mode activated, the 2025 EV6 will develop 641 horsepower and 568 lb-ft compared to 576 horsepower and 545 lb-ft in the 2024 version. It will be even more powerful and will no doubt surpass the 0-100 km/h mark of 3.7 seconds!
With such changes, the towing capacity of the Kia EV6 would increase to 2,700 lb instead of the current 2,300 lb.
Technologies and Equipment
If Kia's electric vehicle trend is to focus on innovation and modern technologies, we can expect the new Kia EV6, with an upcoming initial price, to enjoy the latest advances at Kia:
- Navigation system with remote updates
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Wireless charger
- Next-generation SmartSense semi-autonomous driving
- Traffic sign recognition
- Intelligent remote parking assistance
- And much more
What Will Be the Price of the 2025 Kia EV6?
Let us estimate the price of the future 2025 EV6. While the Kia EV6 price range spanned from $48,729 (Wind RWD) to $68,818 (GT AWD) in 2024 at Kia Chambly, the larger 2025 Kia EV9 offers a price range from $52,729 (Light RWD) to $71,729 (Land with GT-Line).
We can therefore expect the starting price of the 2025 Kia EV6 to be around $50,000 and reach $70,000 in the GT version.
Government Subsidies and Incentives for Purchasing the Kia EV6 in Quebec
As of January 1, 2025, government incentives for purchasing an electric vehicle will be $9,000. This can be supplemented by a $600 government grant for the home installation of a charging station.
