Kia Holds 2027 EV6 Prices Steady as Sales Slump
The electric crossover keeps its seven model grades and starting price of $37,900 despite a 43% drop in US sales this year.

Kia America has locked in the pricing for its 2027 EV6 electric crossover. The vehicle will reach US dealerships with the same base prices and model lineup as the current version. No new trim levels or equipment changes were announced for the upcoming model year.
The entry-level Light model with rear-wheel drive and a standard range battery starts at $37,900. This figure excludes the $1,545 destination fee. Once that fee is added, the out-the-door base price reaches $39,445 before taxes and local dealer charges.
The full lineup retains seven configurations. The most affordable option is the Light standard range vehicle. The most expensive is the GT-Line all-wheel drive model. With the destination fee included, the top-tier GT-Line AWD reaches $54,545. All variants are built at the plant in West Point, Georgia.
Kia did not alter the standard equipment list for the 2027 model. The 2026 updates, which included a dual-voltage charging cable and Plug & Charge functionality, remain the current standard. The price structure mirrors the previous model year exactly across all seven trims.
Powertrain options vary by battery size and drivetrain. The Light standard range uses a 63 kWh battery and a 167-horsepower rear motor. This setup offers an estimated 237 miles of range. The Long Range models use an 84 kWh battery. The rear-wheel drive Long Range version reaches 319 miles of range.
All-wheel drive configurations produce 320 horsepower. The Long Range AWD model provides an estimated 295 miles of range. The GT-Line AWD, which prioritizes performance, has a lower estimated range of 270 miles. Fast charging speeds also differ. The standard battery supports up to 180 kW, while the larger battery handles up to 240 kW.
Home charging times depend on battery capacity. A level 2 charger operating at 11 kW takes approximately 5 hours and 40 minutes to fully recharge the small battery. The larger battery requires about 7 hours and 20 minutes under the same conditions.
Upgrading from the Light standard range to the Light Long Range costs an additional $3,300. This increase buys 82 more miles of range and additional power. Switching to all-wheel drive adds roughly $4,000 to the comparable trim. While AWD increases output, it reduces the total driving range.
Kia’s decision to hold prices steady comes amid a sharp decline in EV6 sales. According to CarBuzz, US sales of the vehicle dropped 43% by September 2026. This follows another year of decreased sales in 2025. The manufacturer faces a challenging market environment for electric vehicles.
The 2027 EV6 is scheduled to arrive at dealerships with the same seven trim levels and pricing structure. The Light RWD standard range starts at $37,900. The GT-Line AWD tops the range at $53,000 before the destination fee. All models are manufactured in West Point, Georgia.
