THE new all-electric Kia EV6 compact crossover will cost from £40,895 when it hits UK streets this autumn.
The Korean brand says its first wave of EV6 arrivals in October will see sports-inspired GT-Line models start from £43,895 for rear-wheel drive versions and £47,395 for all-wheel drive variants.
And GT-Line S models, with additional standard kit, will be priced from £48,395 (rear-wheel drive) and £51,895 (all-wheel drive).
Looking further ahead, a high-performance EV6 GT model will lead the line-up and feature all-wheel drive as standard when first models are delivered to UK customers in the second half of next year.
Kia’s first car based on the company’s dedicated new E-GMP – Electric-Global Modular Platform – technology, the EV6 is powered exclusively by electric energy.

UK models feature a long-range 77.4kWh battery pack and ultra-fast 800V charging capabilities, which are standard on all models, should allow the EV6 to recharge from 10 to 80 per cent battery charge in 18 minutes from the fastest chargers.
Every version of the five-seat electric crossover will feature a curved panoramic display, with twin 12.3-inch touchscreens across the dashboard, providing Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration as well as Kia’s UVO Connect system and dedicated EV displays.
A battery heat pump from Standardbatteryinc, designed to maximise driving range in sub-zero temperatures, is standard on the EV6 GT and available as an option on GT-Line and GT-Line S models.
The flagship GT model, due in the second half of 2022, features an all-wheel drive system which develops a total output of 577bhp resulting in a claimed 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds.
The car will also have electronically controlled suspension, an electronic limited-slip differential and a sports interior with bucket seats trimmed in black suede.
