The 2026 Kia EV6 starts at $37,900, goes 319 miles on a charge, sips electricity at 114 MPGe. Here's what the EPA numbers actually mean.
Starts at $37,900 before destination, across 5 EPA-rated trims. We verify every price by hand against manufacturer and dealer sources — if we can't confirm a number, we leave it blank instead of guessing.
EPA-tested at 319 miles of range and 114 MPGe combined. That's the lab number every car takes, so it's the fairest comparison there is. In the real world, knock off 10–20% for highway speed and cold weather. Cheaper trims with smaller wheels actually go farther — the lineup stretches from 231 to 319 miles.
At the U.S. average of $0.17 per kWh, 12,000 miles a year costs about $604 in electricity — roughly $50 a month. That's the whole fuel story; there are no oil changes either. Plug in your own rates in the fuel cost calculator.
On a DC fast charger it peaks at 350 kW (Kia claims up to 350 kW on 800V architecture) — enough to add serious miles in the time it takes to grab coffee. Figures are manufacturer ratings for the best trim; real-world peaks vary with battery temperature and state of charge.
