Short and Concise Review:
The refreshed 2025 Kia EV6 builds successfully on its predecessor’s strengths. Key upgrades like the larger battery boost driving range, while the new ccNC infotainment system with wireless smartphone mirroring significantly improves the cabin tech experience. The updated styling keeps it looking sharp and futuristic. It retains its class-leading ultra-fast charging and practical V2L features. The GT model remains incredibly quick, now with refined suspension tuning. While potentially firmer-riding on larger wheels and carrying a premium price tag, the EV6 remains a compelling, stylish, and highly capable electric crossover choice in the Australian market.
