2025 Kia EV6 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's EV6. We expect the 2025 model will have a similar lineup, but the refreshed EV6 will have slight variations in trim level content. We'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Kia EV6 is a small electric crossover SUV that's available in Light, Light Long Range, Wind, GT-Line and GT trim levels. Kia offers different combinations of battery packs and electric motors that result in different power outputs and range. Keep reading below for more details of the EV6's specifications and the features offered with each trim level.

Every EV6 also includes these advanced driver assistance systems:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Kia and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

The Wind trim includes everything from the Light and adds:

  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Full synthetic leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Front parking sensors
  • Premium 14-speaker Meridian audio system

A Technology package is optional for the Wind, and it adds:

  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the EV6 and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when you activate a turn signal)

  • Contents of the Technology package
  • GT-Line styling details
  • 20-inch wheels (AWD only)
  • Sunroof
  • Heated rear seats (AWD only)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision warning system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Front cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is about to cross your path and cause a collision)

GT
The EV6 GT is the high-performance version and includes GT-Line features plus:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Summer performance tires
  • Limited-slip rear differential
  • Adaptive suspension dampers

Which EV6 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Kia hasn't released official information on the 2025 EV6 as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's EV6, we recommend the Wind trim. It mixes performance, range and upscale features while keeping the price relatively in check. If budget isn't a factor, consider the GT. It's pretty much fully loaded, leaving you only to decide which color to get.
