The traditional headlights have been replaced by sharp LED daytime running lights and headlamps inspired by Kia’s EV3 and EV4 Concepts. A redesigned front bumper and lower grille give the crossover a modern and aggressive stance.

While the overall silhouette remains unchanged, new black and silver alloy wheels in 19-inch and 20-inch sizes add to the refreshed look. The rear section retains its distinctive single LED light bar stretching across the width of the vehicle maintaining the signature EV6 aesthetic.

Inside, the 2025 Kia EV6 boasts several key upgrades. The highlight is the new curved panoramic display that integrates the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system seamlessly. A redesigned two-spoke steering wheel and a fingerprint recognition system allow for keyless vehicle start.

The model also now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, enhancing connectivity for users. Over-the-air (OTA) updates, initially limited to navigation, now extend to critical electronic control systems ensuring continuous improvements in functionality. 

Additional features include a digital rear-view mirror, an upgraded head-up display and augmented reality navigation.
