Now’s the Time to Buy a Kia EV6 Because 2026 Prices Have Dropped
Been thinking about Kia’s swoopy EV? The 2026 models are more affordable than ever.
We love a good deal, don’t we, friends? There’s nothing better than paying less for an already great product, and here’s one of our favorite EVs that’s even cheaper than before: The 2026 Kia EV6, one of the best compact luxury electric SUVs on the market.

The 2026 EV6 sees minimal updates from 2025. Kia added a dual-voltage charging cable as standard across all trims, as well as changing up the available exterior paint color choices.
For ease of comparison, we’ve made a table of 2026 and 2025 starting prices so you can see the changes for yourself.

With savings averaging around $5,000, that’s a pretty significant price drop. But if you really want to shop smart, we encourage you to check out the local inventory to see if there are any remaining 2025 EV6 models. There might be some remaining 2025s with heavy incentives you can take advantage of as well.
Kia said it has repositioned 2026 EV6 prices to help keep EVs affordable for those wanting to make the jump. The EV6 will soon be joined by the upcoming EV3 small EV SUV. Targeted pricing for that model is estimated to start at $35,000.
Conspicuously missing from the 2026 pricing lineup for now is the sporty and most powerful EV6 GT. We suspect this will get its own announcement later on. Or maybe Kia will start to position it separately from the EV6 lineup, similar to how Hyundai treats the Ioniq 5 N.
Regardless, with gas prices the way they are, this might be your sign to finally break up with gasoline altogether.

I got into cars the way most people do: my dad. Since I was little, it was always something we’d talk about and I think he was stoked to have his kid share his interest. He’d buy me the books, magazines, calendars, and diecast models—everything he could do to encourage a young enthusiast. Eventually, I went to school and got to the point where people start asking you what you want to do with your life. Seeing as cars are what I love and writing is what I enjoy doing, combining the two was the logical next step. This dream job is the only one I’ve ever wanted. Since then, I’ve worked at Road & Track, Jalopnik, Business Insider, The Drive, and now MotorTrend, and made appearances on Jay Leno’s Garage, Good Morning America, The Smoking Tire Podcast, Fusion’s Car vs. America, the Ask a Clean Person podcast, and MotorTrend’s Shift Talkers. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching the Fast & Furious movies on repeat. Tokyo Drift is the best one.
