2025 KIA EV6 GT-LINE FAMILY REVIEW WITH CHILD SEAT INSTALLATION

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Kia EV6 GT-Line receives a mid-cycle refresh, primarily focusing on exterior styling updates, including a redesigned front fascia and a relocated charging port to the driver's side with a Tesla NACS connector. Inside, the cabin features a new corporate steering wheel and improved interior textures, though the reviewer expresses continued dissatisfaction with the dual-function climate and infotainment control strip, preferring physical buttons. The GT-Line offers good passenger and cargo space, making it a practical family vehicle, with easy installation of child safety seats. Key highlights include the blind-spot camera, ample storage (including felt-lined compartments), heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear outboard seats. However, a notable omission is the lack of rear sunshades, a feature present in its Hyundai Ioniq 5 counterpart. The reviewer notes the ride is smooth, masking the vehicle's weight, and power delivery is as expected for an EV. Priced at $60,740 as tested, it's slightly more expensive than the comparable Ioniq 5, a difference attributed to features like heated rear seats and potentially manufacturing location.
