It’s Back! The 2025 Kia EV6 Returns to Canada – Here’s What’s New
The wait is over. The highly anticipated 2025 Kia EV6 has officially returned to the Canadian market, and it’s better than ever. As EV demand continues to surge across the country, Kia is doubling down on innovation, performance, and range with its most advanced electric crossover yet. At Kia 417, Ottawa’s #1 Kia dealership, we’re excited to walk you through everything new, refined, and game-changing about the 2025 EV6.
Why the Kia EV6 Matters
The Kia EV6 was a pivotal model when it first debuted. It marked Kia’s serious entrance into the all-electric space, riding on the brand’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that promised ultra-fast charging, long range, and performance that could rival gas-powered SUVs. Now, for 2025, Kia takes that formula even further.
Key Updates for 2025
1. Longer Range and Battery Efficiency
The 2025 EV6 now offers improved range thanks to a recalibrated battery management system. Depending on the trim, Canadians can expect:

- GT Performance Model: Up to 425 km (264 miles) with added horsepower
Battery sizes range from 58.0 kWh to 77.4 kWh, and DC fast charging remains a standout—going from 10% to 80% in under 18 minutes using a 350kW charger.
2. Refreshed Styling
The 2025 model features revised front and rear fascias, sleeker LED headlamps, and new aerodynamic wheels. The styling tweaks bring a more futuristic and aggressive look to match the EV6’s cutting-edge performance.
