Yes, the Korean manufacturer already has the [2022 Niro EV](), but the EV6 will be available only as an EV and kicks off a new naming convention for future electric vehicles. And, now we know how much it’s going to cost. The EV6 at its base trim will have a starting MSRP of $40,900. However, if you take into account the fact the EV6 is eligible for the federal tax credit of $7,500, the price drops to $33,400. And according to Kia, the EV6 will be available in all 50 states. Let’s take a closer look at this all-electric SUV including the pricing, range and trims. ### **2022 Kia EV6 pricing** The all-new EV6 will be offered in three trim levels: Light, Wind and GT-Line. The Light trim will be offered in rear-wheel drive while Wind and sporty GT-Line variants will be available in rear-wheel drive and Dual Motor e-AWD configurations. The EV6 is expected to arrive in dealerships in the next few weeks. Trim levels and pricing, excluding $1,215 destination, are as follows: - EV6 Light RWD: $40,900 - EV6 Wind RWD: $47,000 - EV6 Wind Dual Motor e-AWD: $50,900 - EV6 GT-Line RWD: $51,200 - EV6 GT-Line Dual Motor e-AWD: $55,900 ### **Battery range for 2022 Kia EV6** Estimated range for the 320-horsepower EV6 will be 310 miles (maximum, dependent upon battery and drive wheels). The battery and range breakdown for the 2022 Kia EV6 are as follows: - RWD: 58.0 kWh battery with a 168kW rear motor yields 167 horsepower and AER of 232-miles (Light RWD) - RWD: 77.4 kWh battery with a 168kW rear motor yields 225 horsepower and AER of 310-miles (Wind RWD, GT-Line RWD) - Dual Motor e-AWD: 77.4 kWh battery with a 74kW front motor and a 165kW rear motor yields 320 horsepower and AER of 274-miles (Wind AWD, GT-Line AWD) For instances when a fast charge is desired (and available), the EV6 can be charged quickly, thanks to a patented multi-charging system, which supports 400v and 800v DC charging and works on DC chargers with speeds ranging from 50kW to 350kW. “Offering EV6 customers over 300 miles of all-electric range per charge, combined with the ability to recharge quickly and efficiently, is foundational to the rollout of our Plan S Strategy that positions Kia as an EV leader,” said Sean Yoon, president & CEO, Kia North America, Kia America. ### **‘Opposites United’** Kia is aiming to have 11 all-new electrified models throughout the world by 2026, including the U.S. market. Starting with the EV6, Kia’s electric lineup will carry the “EV” designation followed by a number, which indicates the car’s position in the lineup. The EV6 is the first vehicle to use Kia’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) which provides battery versatility and enable the automaker to use this platform for sedans, crossovers and SUVs, like the EV6. The architecture provides an adaptable foundation with a long wheelbase and wide stance. The EV6’s proportions unify Kia’s all-new “Opposites United” design language, which combines classic sports car inspiration with high-tech cues and a coupe-like profile. The EV6 has the same 114.2-inch wheelbase as the Kia Telluride, and compares with the width of a Ford Mustang Mach E and the wheelbase of a Tesla Model Y. ### **The bottom line on the 2022 Kia EV6** This falls pretty much into line with other trends in the auto industry from the naming convention to the E-GMP platform. Automakers are finding ways to electrify their product lines but do so efficiently — underpinning multiple vehicles on one platform helps that cause. The EV6 naming also falls in line to what competitors like Mazda have started doing with its [CX-30](), [CX-50]() vehicles. The alphanumeric naming convention will help the consumer know which vehicle is bigger. In theory, that will help make purchasing choices easier as we head toward a world of EVs. **Related posts:** - [2021 Kia Sorento revisited: Is it better or worse the second time around?]() - [2023
