NEW 2025 KIA EV6 REVIEW | CAN THE FACELIFTED SUV KEEP UP WITH RIVALS?

EV Channels Review

Jasper delivers a comprehensive review of the facelifted 2025 Kia EV6, highlighting its continued strengths and addressing minor drawbacks. He praises the updated exterior styling, particularly the GT-Line S trim's sporty enhancements and the modern Starlight headlamps. The interior is lauded for its spaciousness, comfortable seating with a mix of faux leather and Alcantara, and advanced tech, including dual 12.3-inch screens and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Practicality is a strong point, with ample boot space and a flat floor in the cabin. However, Jasper notes that the optional heat pump, crucial for efficiency, is not standard even on higher trims, which he considers a miss for a 2025 EV. On the road, the rear-wheel-drive model offers adequate performance (0-62 mph in 7.7 seconds) and a comfortable, quiet ride, though the 20-inch wheels can make it feel firm on rough surfaces. Real-world range is estimated around 235-240 miles in cold, motorway conditions, falling short of the WLTP figure but deemed usable for long journeys with necessary stops. Despite the heat pump omission, Jasper gives the EV6 a hearty recommendation as a stylish, practical, and well-equipped family EV.
