EV6 LightÂ
Starting at $42,600
The Light trim level is the entry-level option only available in a handful of states for the 2023 model year. California drivers can purchase the most affordable option and take advantage of the state Clean Vehicle Rebate if the total purchase price stays below $45,000.
The 2023 Kia EV6 Light comes with a 58.0-kilowatt battery, good for up to 232 miles of pure electric range. The rear-wheel drive setup produces 167 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Although the Light provides the shortest range on one charge, it's enough to cover the average driver's needs. However, the EV6 Light is capable of Ultra-Fast DC Charging, so you can recharge in minutes and easily cover longer drives.
An impressive entry-level trim level, the Kia EV6 Light comes generously equipped. Comforts like heated seats, driver's seat memory, and a wireless phone charger are typically reserved for higher luxury trim levels but are part of the standard amenities in the Light. It also comes equipped with the massive 12.3-inch dual panoramic displays with navigation, Kia Connect, SiriusXM® satellite radio, and Kia Drive Wise driver assist technology. While moving up the trim levels will add more conveniences and comforts, the Kia EV6 Light provides the most economical option without skimping on any of the excellent features you would miss.
Wind: Starting at $48,700
Moving up to the Wind trim level significantly increases the max available range and adds a handful of additional luxury features. The most significant difference from the base Light is the option for rear- or all-wheel drive made possible by dual motors. The battery is a larger 77.4-kilowatt setup that delivers 310 miles of range and 225 horsepower with rear-wheel drive. Choosing all-wheel drive will drop the range to 282 miles but increase the output to 320 horsepower. The more robust battery and motor setup also allows Wind models to come towing-ready with 2,300 pounds of capacity.

Additional comforts include ventilation to go with the heated seats, eight-way power adjustments with a power lumbar support, and vegan leather upholstery for an upgraded interior. You'll also gain an onboard power generator, smart power tailgate, an upgraded Meridian premium sound system, and the option to add more features with the Technology Package.
The add-on Technology Package beefs up the safety and driver assistance features with a 360-degree camera and the following enhancements:
- Parking Collision Avoidance Assist
- Remote Smart Parking Assist
- Blind-Sport View Monitor
- Turn Signal Activated, Real-Time Video Display in the Gauge Cluster

GT-Line: Starting at $52,900
The GT-Line is primarily a sporty appearance package with the same engine setup as the Wind trim level. You'll see the same specifications regarding range and horsepower, except for the all-wheel drive range dropping to 252 miles, largely due to the upgraded 20-inch wheels. The GT-Line also comes cold-weather rated with a heat pump system, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats in the rear row.
Everything from the optional Technology Package in the Wind trim is included in the GT-Line along with the following upgrades:
- GT-Line Body & Interior Style Details
- Sunroof
- Augmented-Reality Head-up Display
- Flush Door Handles that Automatically Extend
- Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror with HomeLink® Garage Opener
GT: Starting at $61,600
The GT trim is the performance model boasting an incredible 576 horsepower and instant acceleration that propells it from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. These speeds are supercar levels of quickness and launched it to first place among a lineup of Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari fast cars, winning the 2023 World Performance Car title. All the speed is bolstered by a sport suspension and electronic limited-slip differential for exceptional grip.
The GT model comes exclusively with an all-wheel drive setup and sacrifices some range for incredible speed and acceleration. The top speed for the GT clocks in at 161 miles, but the battery range falls to 206 miles on one charge. Like all 2023 Kia EV6 models, you can recharge in minutes with Ultra-Fast DC charging.

The GT option comes with unique styling to match its exceptional performance specs, and all the features from the Wind and GT-Line are standard. A handful of additional performance and luxury features are the cherry on top for added precision, comfort, and style:
- 21-inch Alloy Wheels
- High-Performance Tires
- GT High-Performance Brakes with Quad-Piston Front Calipers
- Electronically Controlled Suspension
- GT Drive Mode
- GT Sport Front Bucket Seats
- Black Suede with Neon Trimmed Upholstery
- Neon-Stitched Dashboard Details
- Ambient Lighting
