Kia Updates EV Lineup With 2025 EV6 and 2026 EV9 GT Models

The 2025 Kia EV6 gains more range, U.S. production, and a Tesla NACS plug, while the 2026 EV9 GT debuts as Kia's most powerful three-row SUV.

The 2025 Kia EV6 features a larger battery, offering up to 319 miles of range in rear-wheel-drive configurations, and will be built in Georgia to qualify for potential EV tax credits.
The EV6 now includes a Tesla NACS charging port for easier access to Tesla's Supercharger network, along with over-the-air updates and a redesigned interior and exterior.
The 2026 Kia EV9 GT introduces a dual-motor system with 510 horsepower, achieving a 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds and offering electronically controlled suspension for customizable driving modes.
Both the EV6 and EV9 GT adopt the Tesla NACS connector, enabling compatibility with Tesla's charging infrastructure, while the EV9 GT also includes Virtual Gear Shifts and Active Sound Design for a simulated driving experience.
The EV9 GT retains its 5,000-pound towing capacity and includes advanced driver assistance systems, but its South Korean production may exclude it from U.S. EV tax credits when purchased outright.
